"Idk where to even begin trying to put this experience into words. If you’re ever in Orlando this place is a MUST! Mik I stopped by for tapas and a drink on Mon and we’re just so blown away. We ended up changing Tues dinner to go back to explore the menu a bit deeper. 2018 unfiltered Napa Cabernet, 30oz Tomahawk with chimi flake salt on the side. Housemade Umami Butter melted tableside. The best damn brussels I’ve ever had in my life and lightly truffled perfect fries.Alina was a gem of a bartender Mark Anthony our server made for a charming evening. The music was right up our alley and the greenery was next level…and most plants were available for purchase.What really threw me was the Sous Chef. A 23yr old gal fresh out of culinary school. Chef Courtney’s youthful mind and dedication was so inspirational to see. We had to shake her and the exec Chefs hands, who graciously shared a shot of Basil Hayden Toast with us at his table. The food, ambience, and love for the craft was some of the best I’ve ever experienced and I will forever be inspired grateful for such a magical couple of nights at Thrive Cocktail Lounge Eatery."
