Edamame

Happy hour menu is good. Not many vegan options. I ordered a spicy margarita but it wasn't spicy. Definitely a bit of a wait to order and get food but the server was nice! It was nice seeing in the patio too.

Ahi Poke Bowl

We went for Sunday brunch as a family of four, checked out the menu beforehand and there was something for everyone. My 11 year old son said he wanted breakfast tacos- they had them! My six year old daughter wanted Mac and cheese . Husband wanted mimosas and I wanted a poke bowl . Our server was Colleen and she was fantastic, very welcoming and sweet to our kids. She checked on us many times, even though it was busy. Highly recommend the poke bowl and the $28 bottle of Prosecco with your choice of fresh squeezed juice.

We received prompt service and both the food and cocktails were excellent. Patio is nice in good weather.

This is a great option near Washington square mall! Parking is easy and the menu is versatile. A really great place to watch a game in a fun atmosphere. The menu has a lot of appetizers and a solid drink menu. Only a few burger and pizza options. Prices are on the higher side. Service was attentive and friendly for the most part. Our only challenge was having to wait for a table on a Sunday night, but that wasn't the staff teams fault Clean bathrooms, kind staff and amazing drink options! Be sure to check it out.

First-time to this Beaverton outpost of the Thirsty Lion. I went to meet up with friends for Brunch. Their brunch menu is not necessarily big but does have just a little bit of everything for people from the traditional eggs, bacon and toast, which is what I had, to chilaquiles, spicy chicken and waffles, breakfast tacos, spinach omelet and French toast. They also havecl a wide array of breakfast cocktails. I had a traditional scrambled eggs, maple bacon, potatoes and toast. They give a nice big amount of maple bacon! Smothered in maple syrup basically. I had enough for breakfast the next day! Goid to know, the place is family friendly and can get a bit noisy.

Not even on the menu but I just asked
Gary H.

It really is amazing that they have all the ingredients so I simply asked if they could make me a chicken parmigiana and wolla they made an amazing lunch for me!

My friends and I had not seen each other in weeks we were looking for a local spot to catch up, we stopped by the Thirsty Lion, typically we have a good experience, the staff at the door were very friendly but then the waitress that supported our area was less then friendly. We ordered a few happy hour items and some drinks, things seem to start well but as it got busier our waitress seemed to loose patience and did not come around as much. It's Xmas and the mall is right around the corner, you would think that business would increase there staff and coach there teams around being even more customer friendly. The food was great as well as the drinks but the way we were treated was unprofessional. Thankfully we have many other options in supporting other local companies. The waitress could have kept her commitments to herself if she was overwhelmed, ask for help, don't take it out on your customers.

Happy hour menu (Mar 2025)

It's been awhile since I been back here. The place is still as spacious as before with additional coveted outdoor seating available. We came for the early happy hour. The standout items would be the beer battered cheese curds followed by the creamy queso dip. The cheese curds had a good exterior texture and a nice soft texture. The service was good as we were made sure that we had what we needed.

Beer cheddar soup.

Friday night dinner with grandkids. I reserved a table for 7 online and we were able to be seated 10 minutes early. Plenty of staff on hand and surprisingly a lot of open tables for a Friday night. Server takes drink order and we put food order in as well as we have hungry kids at the table. Ten minutes later 2 of the 3 beers arrived table side without kids drinks and 3rd beer. Several minutes expire and several staff pass our table without the remaining drinks I finally get a server's attention and she looks into it. Remaining drinks arrive but no signs of our Beer Cheese Soup. A pattern is taking place and it is apparent service is incredibly slow. Soup finally arrives and it is very good but we are now 30 minutes past time of order. We finish soup, bowls sit empty as we await kid meals and adult entrees. Almost an hour after ordering our meals arrive. Water glasses sit empty as does other drinks. Servers depart quickly as if they were heading to a fire. We are left with no water or drink with dinner. My recommended dish, the Pork with Kimchi Rice lacked heat yet had an overpowering smoke taste. The Kimchi Rice was lacking kimchi and crisp instead it was more mushy in texture. It was edible but far from expectations. Others seem to enjoy their dishes so the night was not a complete disaster. Check finally arrives and I notice a 3% service charge. I inquire as to the charge and I'm told it is to help cover increased wages. Wait, I am supposed to pay the owners a fee to cover staff. Service was not good as noted and yet a fee above tip and regular charges is on my bill. Our server says she will take the charge off if I don't want to pay it. Without hesitation I concur and service charge is removed. This review could have easily been 2 stars but staff although incredibly slow were very polite and therefore review is 3 stars. Don't know if we will ever return.

Reuben & fried; GF chicken sandwich.
Tami W.

They have a separate GF menu which had a grilled chicken sandwich. I had the Reuben and fries which was typical pub fare on the greasy side. Music was very loud; appreciated the manager that was able to lower the volume in our section. Our server was awesome as well as celiac aware. Note that this restaurant has a 3% service charge; would rather have had that reflected in the menu pricing.

Jennifer H.

Met with my celiac girlfriend, they had a gluten free menu, made things easier. We ordered so many small plates, it was nearly a tapas meal. Service was a bit slow, albeit friendly, and the food made up for it. We had cheese stuffed dates, queso dip, sliders, fried Chicken sliders, and sushi. Definitely a wild range of food.

Happy hour menu is on the website but they have no pricing available. Not sure how to decide if it's worth going if they don't show pricing.

There's seating on two floors, however, even on Thursday night it was packed, so definitely make sure to secure a reservation. I got the passion fruit lime soda to drink, which was sour and refreshing. The burrata came with fruity chutneys and chili crisp. These sauces created a nice spicy, tangy, and salty flavor profile. The garlic naan that came with the burrata was a bit too toasted for my liking. For my main, I got the ricotta gnocchi. It was incredible. The chanterelles on top were delicious. I loved the bourguignon sauce as it had a strong umami flavor. The gnocchi itself was soft and pillowy. Overall the dish was indulgent and robust in flavor.

I've worked through most of the menu, and every single dish lands. I kept expecting at least one to miss, but it never did. I'm not usually a seafood person, but their fish tacos and Ahi Poke nachos completely changed my mind. If seafood always tasted like that, I'd order it every time. The deviled eggs might be my all-time favorite appetizer. The steak bites are perfectly cooked and tender, and the white cheddar onion dip is rich, savory, and hard to stop eating. What really puts it over the top is the experience. The owner is incredibly welcoming, the staff is attentive without hovering, and the whole place has an elevated but relaxed energy. With the live DJ, it feels like the perfect spot for a date night or a fun night out with friends. If you're deciding where to go next, put this at the top of your list. Can't wait to go back!

Which is great because yes that's plenty late!! We popped in around 6:30pm on 1/3/26. It still looked NYE festive and felt as chill as usual. My kids and I were dying for some nachos and to chill and play a couple of games!! We ordered at the bar and I got a She Spicy (basically a spicy margarita,) and vegan nachos no cheese (I don't need it, but it had salsa and black beans and I added Butternut squash. YUM. Yes please and thank you!!! My daughter got vegan nachos with vegan cheese and added jalapeno. My son got vegan nachos with just beans and vegan cheese. My son got RC cola and my daughter asked for an Italian Soda. The staff is SO caring and kind and I honestly feel like I'm at a friend's house except that I'm being served. We started working on the game and instructions and one of the lovely ladies came over and said that Italian Soda usually has milk in it (I never knew this!!) And she said she noticed we were vegan so would we like it without? I said yes please!! I thought that was SO considerate!! My son doesn't usually eat as well as his sister, and if she has ANY type of Mexican food she eats twice as much, if not more, than he will. So while I ordered her a full nacho, I ordered him a half order. He wanted more so on the second order the other lovely lady suggested salsa (which I encouraged and said yes to,) as they had run out of dairy free cheese. He tried the salsa but in typical fashion, pouted and said NO I didn't want it on all of the nachos. (insert mom sigh and heavy eye roll.) The sweet lady overheard us and said I can remake it if he would prefer that. And he said yes please. And then he said "wow they are so caring and nice here! That was so kind to offer that!" To which I said YES you're right!! By the end of our evening both kids were saying they loved Senet because the staff are SO kind and friendly. And they loved playing games and the food. 5 stars for a family fun night Senet!! We will be back!
