Stopped into Thrive Cocktail Lounge & Eatery for brunch during a quick day trip to Orlando, and it was a great choice. The energy was perfect--good music playing to set the vibe but not obnoxiously loud, and the crowd was more young adults with not a kid in sight, which made for a really enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere. My waitress was also incredibly friendly and fast.The drink menu here is solid. I had both an espresso martini and a margarita, and both were delicious with generous pours--definitely not the kind of place that skimps on the good stuff.For food, I went with a mix of sushi and a brunch dish, and it was a mostly great experience: * Up to Dumpling (Steamed Short Rib Gyoza, Ginger, Garlic, Cabbage, Ponzu, Microgreens) - Wow, this was fantastic. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the short rib was incredibly tender. * Your Highness (Tempura Shrimp, Kani, Cream Cheese, Tempura Flakes, Seared Rare Top Sirloin, Truffle Mushrooms) - Another hit. Unique, well-balanced flavors with just the right mix of textures. * King of the Castle (Top Sirloin, Pair of Fried Eggs, Hollandaise, Sweet Potato Hash) - This was the only letdown of the meal. It was a bit bland, and I found myself wishing I had just ordered another sushi roll instead.Overall, Thrive is a fantastic spot for brunch if you're looking for great drinks, great sushi, and a lively but comfortable atmosphere. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to when in Orlando!

This is a great bar in the heart of downtown Orlando, walking distance from where The Magic play (Kia Center) and nearby Brightline and SunRail train stops. The bar area is huge and extends the entire length of the restaurant. There are booths to sit at if you bring a party of 4-6, but sitting at the bar is how you get the best experience at this place.There are many small plates that you can combine to produce an almost endless combination of fulls meals. I've been here 3 times and my favorite combination for dinner is to order the steak and pair it with the Brussel sprouts. See the picture I included where I put them together.What I appreciate about this place is the way they let you pick your protein for some dishes like the salads, and by making so many small plate protein or pitons you can get creative and easily stack your protein or just maximize the amount of dishes you can try. I had fun. The service was great! I will be back.

The ambiance was nice. My server Jelianie was super sweet and helpful. My food, unfortunately, didn't come out great. The salad was fine (Cukes of Hazard) but the boneless Mochi Wangz were hard and dry. It's dark meat and drying out thighs is hard to do. They were also way too salty. Everyone has off days and I heard good things about the place, it's just unfortunate my wings were not edible.

Love the food, music and vibes of this place. Service is great and I have made reservations and have walked in and served quickly. This place is a must do for me every time I am downtown!

Just a super chill place. The music and vibe couldn't be any better. The decor was relaxing and modern but still cozyButThe food just wasn't it. We were intrigued by the way things sounded but just underwhelmed once they got in front us. Not bad by any means just not good either. We pulled the parachute before we got in too deep

Good vibe, extremely nice bartenders, delicious food, and beautiful cocktails. The happy hour Monday-Friday 4-7 is an added perk.

A friend took me here for a girls night out... and I'm not going to say it's bad, it's just not for me. Not a great menu for a picky eater that doesn't like raw food. Majority of the menu is raw. I got the sliders, but took s bunch of things off to make it simple. We also got truffle fries, which were good. It was a little overpriced for the quality. Most people say they have a better brunch, so maybe I'll try them one more time for brunch. They have an extensive drink menu that was delicious, but again, overpriced. Overall, not a hit for me. But definitely not a bad spot.

The place had nice music and a good ambiance, our server was particular and was able to keep up with pre bussing. We ordered so many things, so keeping the table "everything you need & nothing you don't" was a must. So many apps, and bites. We shared family style and each dish was perfected in flavor and textures. Service & food both 5 star. Recommend. Jelianie was our server by the way.

Thrive is definitely thriving! Nestled in the heart of downtown, Thrive is easily one of the best restaurant and bar discoveries I've made in a while. This place strikes the perfect balance between innovative flavors and a lively atmosphere, and it does not disappoint. The Asian fusion cuisine is absolutely on point - every dish is packed with flavor and expertly crafted. The daily specials add a fun twist, and each promotion seems better than the last. But if you're after a drink recommendation, don't miss the espresso martini - it's my new favorite!The vibe here is fantastic. Thrive has a unique energy that really enhances the dining experience. The interior feels warm and inviting, but with just the right amount of buzz for a night out. But what really elevates Thrive is the service. The staff, from bartenders to waitstaff, are some of the friendliest I've encountered. They're attentive and truly go above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. In fact, I was celebrating my birthday there, and after one too many drinks, one of the waitresses even came to check on me in the restroom - now that's service!All in all, Thrive is a gem for anyone who appreciates great food, creative drinks, and top-notch hospitality.

I've been to Thrive 4-5 times and I've always had a nice experience. They have a great menu. I usually do a few sushi rolls and pick one of their small plates. Their late hours are a nice perk, especially when dining there after a Magic game or after a show at the Dr. Phillips Center. Also got delivery from here recently and it was great. The drink menu is also wonderful.
