April and I were at Tempe market place and on a whim decided to enter Thirsty Lion (Cool name). We entered and noticed the place was packed. The hostess informed us the wait for a table would be approximately fifteen minutes. While waiting I noticed all the customers I saw appeared to be having a really good time. We waited about seven minutes and were escorted to our table. Our server, Alyssa was very nice and helpful. I asked Alyssa which ladies drink she recommended (beer isn't April's thing). Alyssa recommended the Pear Cranberry cooler (seasonal drink) $8.50. I had a sip then helped myself to several other sips, it was good. We shared the Chicken Penne and Gonzola cream $13.95 The dish was beautiful and delicious! For dessert we went with Alyssa's recommendation of the Caramel Apple Cheesecake $6.95 (Also seasonal). really delicious. We definitely recommend this place. We will be back soon.
