Thirsty Lion Gastropub Irving, Tx

Beautiful all over. Will go there again. Went for breakfast food but forgot they only serve breakfast on weekends. Had other entrees.

Food was fresh and delicious, however our server was not friendly and seemed annoyed to serve us.

The service was good, however, the salad I ordered came with only two small pieces of chicken on it. I was in a business meeting otherwise I would have mentioned it. It was also supposed to have roasted vegetables but it was only raw brussel sprouts and arugula. It was very odd and confusing. The place was very empty during lunch and it seemed very empty.

I did not have the greatest experience coming here. I believe it's due to poor training and lack of management skills. I asked for my meal without red cabbage or raddicio in it multiple times and let the server know I have a serious allergy. She brought my food to me and it had many layers of this, (later to find out pre mixed salad) after I had already taken a bite. I sent it back after informing the waiter. Before the next poke bowl came out the manager came to see about me. She did not introduce herself she just asked how I was after apologizing I told her of my allergy and she assured me that the kitchen would be made aware. The next bowl came out and before I bit into it I looked to make sure there was no cabbage or raddicio, yet again the was. Looking back knowing that there was a premade salad that was possibly picked through to get any cabbage out makes me think they were not taking my allegry seriously. The manager did not come and check on me until after I sent the next bowl back. She appologize and explained that sometimes things get mixed in the prep line which I understood but it still did not settle well with me. I was very disappointed in the lack of urgency and training this restraunt has. I do not plan on returning, thankfully no throat closing up however I left with a headache, upset stomach, and itchy throat.

Very pleasant pub with a surprisingly wide variety of delicious food choices! Great service and we will return soon.
