My fiance and I made reservations through Open Table over a week ago for my birthday. I really wanted to try Thirsty Lion because it had great reviews online and I love the Fashion Square area.
So we get there, the hostess starts walking towards us and instead of greeting us she just stands there staring at us. After a few seconds, my fiance tells her we have a reservation under Chris. She looks at us and says "reservation, for Chris?" looking at us as if she has never heard the term reservation in her life and proceeds to roll her eyes at us. Instead of grabbing menus to seat us, she takes a phone call, leans over the counter and starts to twirl her hair as she spoke with the person on the other line. After a few minutes, she rudely said to follow her to our table. We get to the table and we are both in a horrible mood because of this hostess who clearly hates her job and it showed. Thankfully our waitress was very nice and accommodating. However, our drinks (Pinot Grigio and an Old Fashion) took over 20 minutes to get to our table even though it was a slow night, and the small plates she brought over were dirty which I did point out to her. She came back with another plate and that one was dirty as well so we just decided not to use them. The only nice thing I can say about this place is that the food was good and the waitress was nice. Other than that, there is nothing that will make me want to go back. My fiance and I were there to have a nice dinner and to celebrate my birthday and I cant say that it was a nice experience. I will not be back. I was very tempted to leave and just go over to Shake Shack next door.
