Thistle

Hard 5/5 for me. The most memorable dinner experience I’ve had in a long while. Everything was beyond perfect. Our server (fellow with glasses and tatts and lives with cats) was phenomenal and used his discretion (per our request) to choose our wine and main course. The service was not just perfect in a “my water glass was always full way” - but just felt very sincere. These folks know what they’re doing but would never talk down to anyone. The power went out for about 10 seconds, which I felt was the perfect opportunity to tell my bf I love him for the first time. I will always remember my (first) time dining at thistle. ❤️❤️

I came to Thistle with high expectations, given its reputation, but left wondering how it continues to earn such glowing praise. We began with the Bread and Fat—lardo and Raspberry Butter—which was creative. The Ribeye and Gnocchi followed. On taste alone, the kitchen shows skill, but the execution and overall experience fell short. The Ribeye was advertised as 15oz, yet what arrived looked closer to 10oz, with nearly a third of it inedible fat and gristle. The Gnocchi was pleasant enough, but hardly memorable. The dining environment, however, was the real disappointment. The room was very dark and poorly lit, making it difficult to even see the food clearly. The space itself felt cramped and exceedingly loud, with tables packed tightly together. Our server carried a noticeable odor, whi

Very interesting experience, menu limited and changes almost every day, but very delicious, desert are limited. Steak was great, tuna tartar excellent. Cesar was kind a creative and unique. Not like usual. I would prefer stick to the usual recipe with romaine lettuce. But it was a nice experience.

The service here is simply amazing. I’ve never been to a place where they treat you like such old friends while still maintaining the professional service of a nice restaurant. From the chef, to the bartender, to the owner, to the server- everyone was so NICE. The food was amazing. Their steak tartare is the best I’ve ever had and I will be thinking about it for a long time. The duck liver mousse too. You can tell the chef loves food and loves the ingredients and cares so much about the source of the ingredients as well. Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a really special dining experience. The bar is also amazing to just hang out at.

Cannot say enough about my experience at Thistle. I have a severe gluten allergy and we were fortunate to have all the menu options were gluten free. The precise detail from the farm to table approach was impressive to say the least. I loved the carrot puree and carrot top pesto paired with the rabbit for a full circle meal. The drinks are refreshing and the service was excellent. The chef came to explain the meals and was thoughtful in his presentation. 10/10 🤩
