Thrive

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!

We went for dinner to try out the sushi and we loved it. Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff and excellent food. Loved the ambiance.

Came here before a concert since it was close to the State Farm arena. Great customer service. The food was delicious and the drinks were good. I had the chili lime wings and brussel sprouts. My friend had the tuna burger and fries. Will definitely be back!

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.

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.

Wow - what a special place. The food was perfectly balanced with amazing flavors, the atmosphere is upscale and sexy, and the service was wonderful. We had the shrimp and grits, watermelon salad, salmon, fried green tomatoes and a couple of the mocktails. Everything was perfect and fun!

I came in with a couple of friends for lunch while we were at a convention across the street. Everything we had was yummy, fresh, and had a unique spin. The service was great, even when we asked a silly question... Ito on the menu was of course "lettuce tomato onion," but we thought it was something fancy (like ito but capitalized ). Oh boy! This was a comfortable spot, and I definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Calamari fye Sushi was ok Fresh but I wished it had more flavor. And my tequila sunrise was definitely strong so all in all 8/10

Chef Antonio is a culinary innovator and yet carries comfort, local cuisine to New levels! Excellent service, friendly staff. Great atmosphere, you must go!!

The food was excellent. Some of the best sushi I've had in Atlanta. Also, other person got the salmon and also said it was very good. Cocktails were good tooUnfortunately, the service was very poor. It wasn't very busy and had to wait for drink orders, she never checked back until after we'd finished our meals and never cleared the plates. I went to the restroom and our server was in that hall area chatting and laughing with the host and other server. She was plenty perky when she brought the bill at tip time though. So, great food. Management needs to improve customer service though. Host was dressed very sloppy.
