Thistle Pub Grille - Thompsonville

Hallo, I went with my family to this restaurant and I had the worst ever eat. we ordered chicken tortellini and the sauce was a catastrophe with pickel and who knows what else we couldn't even say. I command 1/2huh and it was raw so I sent it back and asked for another order and that one was the same. I had never eaten what was so bad, what a shame. the restaurant does not even deserve 1 star. belinda

I went here at 3pm on a busy Saturday. All staff were very nice and eager to serve. Being a bus driver I did not try any drinks. I did get hot chocolate which was served to me in a clear glass square coffee cup. Should have been a mug. The hot chocolate was very watery even with whipped cream. With a very limited one page menu I ordered the open face sirloin sandwich. It was way over cooked and even with the caramelized onions and mushrooms I could hardly eat the quarter inch thick steak. No, I didn't send it back as I should have. I also tried the chili after reading the reviews, I don't think I had the same kind or something. It was very bland and cool, could have been warmerAll in all I would not bother eating here unless you have to, and I would stick to the sandwiches and burgers.

We ate at the Thistle last evening. It was the first dinner out solo my wife and I have had for a long time. Our server was excellent and so was another woman who checked on us.The manager was polite but it was one comment from him regarding our overly fishy $48 Seabass special that really sunk the experience. The fish itself was so fishy that the flavor even seeped into the risotto it was served with. My wife and I are no strangers to eating fish or dining out and when the manager asked how the food was we told him. His response was delivered politely but felt pretty condescending:“Have you ever had sea bass before? It is a white fish and is does have a more robust flavor.” Something to that effect. We were pretty sure that was not our experience so quick search yielded this result. (See picture) I guess decide for yourself. As a token of goodwill they offered a free dessert which we took and it really was disappointing. It was an espresso cookie that seemed like it was maybe a few days old.My chicken sous vide was delicious and we both ate all of that. Together we ate maybe half of the Seabass, we even ordered more sauce to try to balance or mask the fishiness, but shame on us for not sending it back.

Wonderful Scottish themed restaurant with an exceptional cooking team! Everything was perfectly prepared in this casual ski lodge restaurant.The menu isn't huge but has something for everyone for sure They have a very good Scotch selection and beer selection along with craft cocktails.

Really happy with our first visit to Thistle. It was a welcome cozy respite away from the hubbub of the rest of Crystal Mountain. We'll be back!
