What Andrew s doesn't like about Thandi's:

The markup on beer is sufficiently high $8.50 per glass) they could afford to replace an unsatisfactory product with one their clientele requests. I return the beer after one sip, and had to pay for the whole serving. A satisf... View all feedback. What AAleR likes about Thandi's:
Had a business dinner here. The food was good, and the service by Daryl was too. The shared plates are good, dessert was terrible....cold and tasteless Crème Brulee. Beer selection needs a little work on, limited choices. There is no cider on tap, shame on Thandi's. There is better value to be had uptown, but Thandi's location is good. View all feedback.
