I really wish I could give the Thirsty Lion 2.5 starts... but I cannot round up to 3. We went for lunch today and it was well staffed, actually over staffed with 4 greeters upon arrival. With all the help, service was still slow....
The real problem came when we reviewed the menu. The Thirsty Lion used to have wonderful English pub fare and an amazing beer selection. We were disappointed to see overly priced standard bar food was the flavor of the day. Everything from sushi to bbq pizza to flatbread to fish tacos... Come on, how about some shepard pie or bangers and mash? In addition, now about a lunch menu that doesn't start at $14/plate.
All in all... really average food with below average service.
