Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill - Scottsdale

When J-WoW told me about Thirsty Lion's amazingly generous offer to Yelp Elites, I was stunned. All I had to do was send an email stating the day/time my party wanted to show, along with the Elites in my party, and they would provide us with a comped meal, including apps and desserts! Parking wasn't too bad, in their ample lot, and was only a short walk to the front door. Once inside, Tom D greeted us with a smile and a hearty handshake. The interior was spacious, so I took a stroll to survey the estate. This location includes a delightful patio area. We were led to a reserved high-top table in the bar area. Yes, they were expecting us. It was about this time that our 4th, Kazi, arrived. We hugged, we laughed, we looked at the menu. Since the apps were on the house, I had to go with the Sesame Seared Ahi Tuna, since J decided on the Bacon Wrapped Dates. My Ahi couldn't have been more perfect. It was as good as I've ever had anywhere else. And I shared my wares with the whole table. For my entree, I had to try the Grilled Atlantic Salmon. Once again, the fish was perfectly prepared. At $21, it may be a tad expensive, and generous, for a lunch, unless you're sporting quite the noontime appetite, as it came with a mound of white cheddar mash and al dente green beans. My friends and I were treated exceptionally well by the staff here. It's quite a ways away from my home and office, but I would absolutely return if in the area. Thank you Thirsty Lion management and staff
