4.7 / 5.0(1,270 reviews)

Came on a Tuesday before a Broadway Across America show and made it in time for happy hour! Great food and drink specials for happy hour! We ordered three dishes to share, each was more delicious than the last! The wangz were good but a tad sweet for my taste. The Brussels were fantastic, I think my favorite item we got. The sliders were delicious, well cooked and seasoned. The service was great, very attentive. Our server, Brendan, made great recommendations! The vibe was vibing too! We will definitely be back soon to try more of the menu! We received an immediate greeting upon arrival and the service by our waitress was awesome. Attentive and helpful. The Fire Fries were crispy and fluffy on the inside. It tasted like a sushi roll made of French fries, very delicious. The Bonito flakes were cool, they sort of swayed as if they were alive bc of the heat of the fries. My friends were creeped out lol. The shrimp on the Double Play dish was perfectly seasoned and crunchy; the Big Shrimpin’ roll with the tempura flakes + spicy mayo was *chefs kiss* The dumplings were so good, short rib inside was tender and juicy. I definitely would return! My boyfriend and I went to Thrive on a Saturday for brunch and WOW. I wasn’t expecting what we got. The vibe here is 10/10, the music was great (hip hop and r&b from early 2000’s), the entire place was just pretty and definitely a place I would visit often if I lived in Orlando. I got the steak and eggs with sweet potato tots and it was absolutely amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection, the eggs were nice and fluffy and the tots had the perfect crisp. I did have the Juicy J which was pretty good and since they didn’t offer bottomless mimosas we just got a bottle of champagne and juices were brought over. Our server Mia was fantastic and never let too much time go by before checking on us which was great. If you’re thinking about coming here, do it!! I don’t have a single complaint.

Loved this place! Super chill vibe with really nice décor and great music that wasn’t too loud. The cocktails were amazing—creative, well-made, and you can tell the bartenders know what they’re doing. Service was friendly and quick, and it felt like the kind of spot you can either dress up for a date night or just relax with friends. Definitely one of my new go-to lounges. You MUST have a reservation for a seat at a table. If not, the bar available for walk-ins.

I am a chef and I rarely go out to dine because of the quality of food, presentation, and food service. My girlfriend took me out as a treat after researching different restaurants while in our hotel and the whole experience was just amazing when we arrive until we left! The scenery, the server Brittany was so friendly knowledgeable and inviting.....the Chef on duty!!!!!!......wow!!! Miss. Chef Yasmine prepared for us Tofu Fighters and the Cheezy does it. One of the most amazing dishes I've been apart of! Thank you for the amazing experience and smiles on both our faces and hearts!
