Best KPortal Reviews
Overall a 4. It exceeded my expectations. The price is a bit high but they are in downtown. They he food is a little better than average. Generally it was a bit too wet and saucy for me, but it was high quality and prepared well. The atmosphere was really great and the service from Kyla was exceptional. I’ll definitely go here again. The coffee was really good and everyone was very nice.
This place was neat and got busy quickly after we sat. Thank goodness we made reservations beforehand. The food was good (not great) and the vibe was very business casual. However, our server was terrible. She was never around. Never checked on us. And the two times we got her attention (once to check on the food because we had been waiting 45 minutes after placing our order with zero update, and two because we needed to pay our tab) she looked annoyed and borderline offended that we interrupted her. What’s worse is that she was training some young guy as well. Honestly, the trainee seemed better than her but not by much. I wanted to say something to management but we needed to run to our show (we would’ve had ample time if the server just checked in on us once in awhile so we didn’t have to wait 30 minutes AFTER finishing our meals to pay). The food was good but unjustifiable with the service. Would not recommend.
What’s difference new management makes! We took the chance and came back and I’m SO glad we did! The food was FANTASTIC! The atmosphere was incredible, the people were friendly and warm. My drinks….oh my Sweet God! If you haven’t been, go- if it’s been a while since you last tried Thrive out, get back there. You won’t be disappointed
This place was an amazing environment full of natural light and relaxing music. Cem, our server was great and the only negative of the dinner was the kitchens wait times; but in the end the food was worth the wait! Very good place and will certainly be coming back.
Me and my husband visited this restaurant for the first time for dinner. The vibe, decor, and layout was stunning. We were seated promptly for our reservation. The appetizer (Fried Green tomatoes) were tasty. The sushi was delicious; however, it took almost 40 minutes to get our main course. The service was not good and very inattentive. My husbands salmon was a bit dry as well, but presentation was good.
Recommendation: go strictly for drinks, appetizers, and sushi.
The sushi was beautifully presented and very fresh. The calamari appetizer was just okay. Too crispy and very small pieces. The shrimp and squash/arugula/grains salad was super fresh and tasty. Service was good, overall. Had to ask for water refills and she never asked us if we wanted a second alcoholic drink. Never asked how our food was. The kitchen got the food out fast, as the restaurant was quite slow for a Friday night.
My experiences at Thrive in Atlanta were as diverse as night and day, reflecting a range of service standards and atmospheres.
On my initial visit, unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. Upon arrival with a friend, we found ourselves waiting by the entrance for an uncomfortably long five minutes without being seated. Even after moving to the bar area and waiting an additional ten minutes, we were left unattended, feeling invisible amidst the sparse crowd. The lack of acknowledgment or service was disheartening, and we departed without so much as a word exchanged with any staff member.
However, my recent visit to Thrive painted a vastly different picture. Returning with a group of friends for drinks, we were met with attentive and friendly bartenders whose knowledge of their craft was evident. They took the time to engage with us, offering recommendations and ensuring our satisfaction throughout the evening. The vibrant atmosphere and excellent service made for an enjoyable outing, a complete turnaround from my previous encounter.
In sum, while my initial experience at Thrive left much to be desired in terms of service and attentiveness, my second visit showcased the establishment’s potential for delivering top-notch hospitality. The disparity between the two visits suggests a need for consistency in service standards. Nevertheless, the positive experience on my recent visit leaves me hopeful for future visits to Thrive.
Ambience - Nice atmosphere with a variety of music in the background. I heard 70s all the way through today's popular hits.
Service - My waiter was relatively attentive and quick to offer a hand. He also checked to see if I needed anything a few times. It was lunch hour so not much was going on. Hopefully, that trend would continue through the night.
Food - The salmon sandwich was the best of the day. It had a hint of spice and decent flavor. Personally, the amount of arugula was overwhelming but some may enjoy it. The fries were sub-par and the calamari rings were nothing short of overcooked, bland, and terrible. I felt like i was eating small race tires in fried batter.
Parking - Typical for Atlanta. Either a parking lot or, if you're lucky, a street spot that cost WAY less.
Accessibility - Didn't see any wheelchair ramps, so I'm uncertain if there were any around the side. The front door definitely didn't have any.
Overall - It was okay. I was underwhelmed and probably wouldn't return. It just didn't leave that type of impression on me.
