    I went here for the first time before a concert. I ordered the spider roll and fries. Everything was delicious and the service was great.

    Dessert of Peaches & Biscuits, omg, so good!

    We had a very special early dinner at Thrive last Wednesday. We started with the potsticker app, as the waitress recommended it. It was amazing, especially the slightly spicy vinaigrette. The pickled veggies complemented the pot stickers perfectly. I got the braised beef shank with mashed potatoes & broccoli. It was super umami tasting. I kept wondering how they got all that meaty flavor, perhaps bone marrow? We ended with a shared dessert of crispy biscuits with whisky soaked peaches. The best tasting peach dessert I've ever had. The atmosphere seemed a bit cold to me, very clean & modern. Great service!

    If you are attending an event at either the Mercedes-Benz Stadium or State Farm Arena I highly recommend this restaurant for your dining option. Easy walking distance from here to the venue of your choice. The staff were amazing from our entry, bar selection, appetizers, dinner service to a very satisfying dessert. Never felt rushed and our server was very attentive to our requests. Sushi not your preference? No worries there are plenty of other menu staple to please everyones palate. Recommend making a reservation just in case. Otherwise the wait for a table could interfere with the aforementioned start time of your event.

    I actually enjoyed this place a bit, walking in the vibe was pretty decent. It was very quiet though and the service was not great at all. Our waiter hardly came to check on us and even forgot to ask us what we wanted to drink and had to remind him. Wasn't great service at all. The food made up for it though, I got the salmon with the glaze on it and it tasted amazing! The couscous was a bit salty but the salmon was everything. Plating was everything and I loved the green beans a lot. They had a nice texture and great flavor. For an appetizer we got the buratta and the bread and it was excellent! I do wish there was more bread though but overall it was delicious. So the food was definitely 9/10 for me as for the service it wasn't great. If you are looking for a good place to eat a casual dinner or even a business meeting spot you should check this out!

    Whoever the chef is that created this menu and keeps updating it deserves a Michelin star. The flavor combinations are out of this world. The food tastes so good it honestly does not make sense. I will argue with anyone who will listen that this is the best food in downtown Atlanta. Now, the service? Extremely slow. And some servers I would just prefer not to have. For example, the Spanish-speaking male server is terrible. I truly do not understand how he is still employed. On the flip side, you have servers like Ashley (I might be getting her name wrong), who is so sweet and personable every single time. The bar here pours heavy. If that is your thing, it is perfect. Not really my thing though, I just come for the food. The Spanish-speaking guy refuses to come to the table, but whatever, I just tip him low. The real star of the show will forever be the food. I do not even eat sushi, but I still end up here at least once a week because I work downtown. Only one request: please change the risotto back. It does not need to be lemon pepper. SN: The atmosphere really makes you feel like you are downtown Atlanta.

    Fried green tomatoes are good Specialty drinks were great. The dessert peach cobbler and ice cream was also good. My husbands fresh fish was also good.

    I parked in the AAA parking lot which is $14 for two hours. Then walked across the street to THRIVE. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the bartender YoYo. I ordered the Bartender's Choice where you ask the Bartender for the daily special for drinks. I don't remember what she made, but she made it with Jack Daniel's and it very good! For eats, I ordered the Spicy Salmon sushi and Chicken Quesadilla from their happy hour menu. My god mother had a glass of wine with their Thai Chili & Lime Wings and Caesar salad with avocados on top (she was craving avocados). Overall the meal was good. Yo-yo and Rafiq were very helpful and checked in on us regularly. The decor and music selection added a nice finish. Overall, my god mother and I enjoyed our meal and had a nice time!

    Old fashion so good

    Me and my niece went to an event at the GA Congress Center and decided to have dinner at Thrive. The food was delicious, I ordered the seafood mac n cheese and my niece ordered the shrimp and grits, she also ordered a sushi roll! The service was excellent, the ambiance was nice! Beautiful decor, not too crowded for a cold in the A! Not familiar with their parking situation; however, we left our vehicles at the congress center! Wanted to get the extra steps, very fun evening!

    I was invited to join a group for a dinner gathering at Thrive in downtown Atlanta. It's well maintained with a separate bar area, restrooms are the individual stations, and it's large enough for groups. The servers are knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu, including the sushi. Thrive sushi was a safe choice along with several appetizers. The food did take some time to arrive, and I'll admit, our party of 8 people probably slowed things down. Overall, I had a good time at this restaurant. There is enough variety to find something that you will enjoy at this place.

    No notice of us. :(

    Bar service sucks. Really BADLY! We sat there for ten minutes and nobody looked at me nor my colleague! No acknowledgment whatsoever! Daaaanngggg. The bar was cluttered with dirty glasses on the bar top and tables too! It appeared that they had nobody bussing them. Ew. We moved to a dining room table and our cute server YoYo was a sweet gal but slightly vapid. We were told that they had no sake in the place either. Wow. It took 40 minutes for our food to arrive and then out came our salads! This should have been brought out first! The timing and thoughtfulness was lacking and I do NOT blame our server as this is an obvious negligence of the management to not instruct their employees better. Our food was very tasty, however, and well-prepared to boot. I don't recommend coming here if you're in a hurry. Just saying.

    Shrimp salad with arugula

    Sat at the bar and ordered cocktails and food. The bartender was terrific. She warned us the kitchen was backed up and that drinks would be quick but food could be slower. The restaurant was busy and we were happy to have a drink (or more) while waiting, though we appreciated her candor. My wife ordered one of their craft cocktails but requested it to be less on the sweet side. The bartender checked back in immediately after serving us to see how the drinks turned out. My wife, after some convincing by the bartender, shared the drink was a bit too sweet. The bartender took back the drink, made a few tweaks, and then it was perfect. The food was exceptional. We ordered the salmon and shrimp salad with arugula. The restaurant could use more staffing or prioritize busing the bar and tables. Throughout the night patrons would leave and the tables weren't cleaned for up to an hour. Having a clean front of house is important and makes the restaurant more inviting. It also begs the question of the back of house (a.k.a. kitchen) cleanliness.

There could be reserved seating but mostly looked like first come, first served. We eventually got seats from gentlemen who were willing to get up. But it's a dance party so you won't be seated long. The rooftop bar was extremely busy so we got drinks in the lobby. The service on the rooftop and lobby bar was over extended. They needed more staff to support the crowd. Eventually we ordered food as it seemed more staff came in to help. We shared chicken wings and the flat bread pizza. The wings were a good size and come with potatoes. More like breakfast potatoes, not fries. They were rather salty and not very good. The flat bread pizza was tasty. Their menu included other starters, sandwiches, salads and desserts. We had cocktails - old fashioned, vodka and cranberry, and a Moscow mule. Good size and tasty. Overall, the band - The DJ Wright Band and DJ Eclazz were why we came! Definitely check this spot out.

Two of us also ordered a mimosa. Because it was my aunts birthdays, they were given a small treat. It's quiet and very cute ambiance and lighting. They have tea time from 1-4pm which I will definitely be back for. ***I gave this place a 4 only because the menu was sort of limited from what I had known to be a buffet style brunch and I think, to me, I needed a little more seasoning.***

As you'd expect at the Four Seasons it's a very upscale ambiance and the staff is always very welcoming. The bar itself is large enough to hold a dozen or so seats and there is extensive table and banquette seating in the floor area. They have a selection of house cocktails and I've been happy with each one I've tried (my eye always moves to the bourbon/whiskey options on the menu). There is a limited food menu that is definitely way better than standard "bar food" though neither is it fine dining; it's perfect for a light meal. They do have music certain evenings so it can get quite busy then or on weekend nights. Prices are a little above what you can find nearby in Midtown but again this is a five star hotel; I think it's worthwhile for the occasional visit.

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.
