Dependable, consistent excellence from the cuisine to the staff. Menu offers a nice variety and drinks are spot on. They offer dinner and wine specials on Friday-Sunday. I’ve had most of the items on the menu. Menu changed up by a few offerings seasonal which is nice too. Staff are very responsive and attentive even when full-which is most nights. My advice is -give them a try because once you do you will find yourself being a regular. We are foodies and frugal. However when the meal is this good-it’s money well spent. ♥️.

I fully enjoyed my visit to Thirsty Lion Washington Square with my family. I'm hearing-impaired and requested a relatively quiet location in restaurant and we were seated in the perfect spot. I ordered the Tuscan Romano chicken dish and it was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food. We will definitely return.
