A friend of mine and I hit Thrive, the new restaurant in downtown Atlanta, recently. It is in a slick space on the corner of Spring and Marietta. I love going downtown - it makes me feel as though I'm living on the edge - which sometimes you are. Thrive's space is really beautiful, though the tables in the center are placed way too close together for my taste. The cocktail waitresses wear skirts so short you wonder if they're risking arrest on the city streets.
The menu at Thrive is interesting. Part sushi, part southern cooking. Not very often do you see a volcano roll and a macaroni and cheese entree on the same menu.
The choice of wine by the glass is pretty anemic, though they have plenty of bottles available. My second glass of wine actually seemed watered down - I don't know what was up with that.
My friend and I split sushi. I don't love sushi but sometimes eat it if I'm in the mood. This sushi was fine, nothing spectacular.
I say go soon to Thrive because it seems to me that there is a pretty good chance that this slick little restaurant will not last.
I'll go back if I'm in downtown for lunch.
