    My second time in, and certainly not my last. I had the delicious creamy vegetable soup of the day with my yummy polpo appetizer, the melt in your mouth Parmesan cream sauce gnocchi (absolutely THE BEST version I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot😉), to top it off I had a shot of espresso to pair with my pistachio cake. I plan on eating my way through this menu, and the best part is their continuously changing specials. I cannot recommend enough, you can taste the passion from the chef owner🤌🏼

    We went for lunch & shared charcuterie, cheese plate, & Trout Almondine. All were excellent. Our server, Makenzie, was delightful & attentive without being intrusive, and helpful with suggestions. The only negative was uncomfortable chairs. Otherwise, we had a lovely leisurely lunch.

    My husband and I have come here for so long, and wanted to have one last brunch here before they shut their doors. We have to say the staff, between front and back, are just rockstars at what they do and provide. The food is always top notch, the cocktails perfect, and the service warm and welcoming. Truly a delight any time we can spend some time with our 2 dachshunds and enjoy the outside space here. We hope you and team have much successes going forward and we hope for the next iteration will be here soon. Happy New Year Hawthorne's!
