    We love the casual yet upscale atmosphere at Thistle & Rye. Our party of 6 sat inside as it was 8 million degrees outside. We shared lots of apps, we all had the cod sandwich. The cocktails were fun, our eats delish! Our server, Samantha was patient and gracious as we were definitely “extra”then a larger group settled in at the next table. They were hilarious, needless to say Sam had her hands full and by all accounts handled everything perfectly! Thank you, our evening was great fun!

    Cute spot to grab a drink and snap a few pictures. The drinks are about $20 each which is high even for Nashville prices.

    The staff was incredible and accommodating. The food was awesome. Loved the KFC cauliflower and the burger was wonderful. My favorite was the shrimp temaki. The secret garden pop up was fantastic and whimsical, perfect for our girls night.
