What JOYCEK likes about Purple Thistle:
Noise level question was confusing. I did not know how to respond. It was not noisey. Price of entry a little high for amount but the salmon was the best I ever had. My partner loved the chicken. Server was great. Breakfast was awesome. Best croissant I ever had. Eggs Benedict was perfect even in warming tray. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Purple Thistle:
eating was expensive and serving were tiny. they did not even serve broth, although they placed side panels with the small butter knives above. we are still hungry with an ugly bill. I had healed that was very tasty despite the small part and the minuscule sides. the view is very picturesque. View all feedback.

Had all the signs of a struggling restaurant. Mediocre in every way.
