    I have been a regular customer of Thrive for a couple of years. The food is some of the best in Orlando. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks are good. And best of all prices are decent! If you have not eaten at Thrive yet, you are missing out!

    We got the lobster bisque and truffle fries to start. I LOVED the lobster bisque so much! We had never had fries cooked in truffle oil before so the flavor was weird, but they were yummy and crunchy. The bread was hot and fluffy! My boyfriend had the Elk filet, and he loved it! He said it was delicious and tender, and the mushrooms he added to it were juicy and flavorful. I has the filet wellington, and it came with parmesan mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was everything I dreamed it would be when I searched the menu and picked it before we even arrived. The pastry was super light and flaky and the filet just melted through with each cut. It comes with a sauce that they pour over it for you. Everything on my plate was high class and definitely worth it. The only thing I can say is that parking was hard to find, but that was because there was an event happening up the road, and the roads were blocked. Also, this wasn't a big deal for us, but the regular filets like a sirloin, ribeye, filet mignon or the elk filet do not come with sides. Just a heads up about that. Great place though! Highly recommend for a small celebration or girls nights.
