    It’s a small restaurant in a chain hotel. I think that sums up what you need to know. Nothing inventive or particularly great. Not destination dining if you are not staying at the hotel. But if you stay at the hotel, you will probably end up eating here because there are very few options nearby that you can walk to, especially for breakfast or linch. That said, service was friendly and attentive, and the place was clean and not mobbed.

    Unfortunately I should have ordered something other than the GF poke bowl. Texture wise it was lacking

    The waiter/waitress hardly came around and my hot coffee/alcohol beverage was warm and got cold very fast. The food was very good, the restaurant was clean and beautiful! The roses on each table were gorgeous too! The only suggestion I have is to have the blinds down during the day because it was difficult to see since it was so bright.
    Thorn Restaurant & LoungeResponded on 2 February 2025
    Hi Addy, thank you for taking your time out to leave us this amazing review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time at Thorn and we are very sorry that the service was not up to your expectations. I will make sure to address this to the staff so that it does not happen again. I will also relay the message about the blinds as well.

    Our server (Jacob) was awesome! In fact, everyone was great…The hostess knew I was joining the other guests, a brunette female server was super helpful, too! Three of us girls had not seen each other in a few years and we had a lot of catching up to do! No rushing us…plenty of water refills…etc.
