Absolutely delicious Sea Bass with Shrimp Alfredo. This chef knows how to prepare this amazing dish. Spouse had Fish Fry, which is his favorite in the area. We love how everything is just a bit more flavorful than most restaurants. Staff is excellent

This place is off the beaten path. It is easy to drive past. I encourage you to look it up and try it out. The decor is fun and relaxing. Some cute food decor that will make you smile. The food is good. Small menu so check it out before you come. Very nice bar area. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. The cheesy cauliflower pizza fries are a must get! So good. I had the your adventure burger. It was good but too spicy for me. I could not eat it due to the spice. I don't do any kind of spicy. The blue ribbon burger was a hit.

Last time we were here was summer 2023 and did not have great luck for lunch. Bartender and server were more interested in talking to each other than doing their jobs. Food was just ok.

Can't believe I waited for almost 3 years to try this restaurant. Being a foodie from Colorado, I have high expectations and Thrive delivered in every aspect! Food - farm to table, garden to fork at its best. Plenty of vegetarian friendly items on the menu. I finally settled on the NOLA shrimp after the server informed us the chef is originally from New Orleans. There are so many interesting layers of flavors in this dish that just keeps on revealing itself the more you savor. First bite was citrus followed by subtle heat then delicious savory taste. I literally wanted to drink the sauce! Hubby ordered their signature burger and it definitely didn't disappoint. It was juicy, tender grass fed beef of carnivore's dream. Love the disc shaped fries. Service - very friendly, fast and helpful. Our server knows the menu very well and helped us decide on the food order. Wish they're open more days of week besides Wed-Sat. Ambiance- farm to table, rustic and simple. It really let the food shine as the star of the establishment. Verdict - goodies rejoice! So glad we have this fine restaurant right in central Wisconsin. We'll be repeat customers for sure!

What a pleasant surprise this place was! The atmosphere was warm and fun. Our server was spot on and had a great sense of humor. She was never intrusive, but we never had to wait for anything. The food and drinks were fantastic! I recommend garlic asparagus dip for appetizer. And for the main, it was by far the best pork chop I've ever eaten. It was tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. We were a group of 5 and everyone of us loved our meals. I was visiting from Chicago but my family is local and will be returning to a new "go to" place. I look forward to visiting them and Thrive again very soon.

Great food, nice atmosphere. Lovely to be able to sit outside on the balcony in the summer.
Environment was pretty…. Our waitress was terrible. She was incredibly rude. The food took a LONG time. So long that we almost missed our show. Mind you, members of our party saw her sitting at the bar!!!!She told us we had plenty of time to get there, not her call to make. The chicken Caesar was a chunk of lettuce… for over $20 you should not have to make your own salads. And the gratuity for a large group is more than generous especially based on our service. Menu was quite limited. Also, they have quite a limited drink menu AND were out of alcohol. I won’t be back. Nor will the rest of our party.

We got there when it opened because I was that excited to try this place, and it did not dissappoint! We were visiting Wausau for a fundraiser walk, and Thrive was part of a celebration! The brussel sprout appetizer was amazing! Then, the cajun style shrimp was delish, and omg the pork chop.......yes! nailed it!
