"I am the foodie of the group and when us engineers get together for work I get the task of finding us places to eat. I made a reservation for The Hawthorne but was seated in the bar area, I think the restaurant was either not open or it was late for the restaurant. inicially it was kind of loud, but settled soon after we arrived, group had a good time."

"the food was beyond compare. if you are a meat and potato person, you are in the wrong place. chef anthony met with us briefly after dinner, and his knowledge of dining became very apparent. we had the endive appetizer [amazing ] and i had the seafood linguini, and my wife had the seared salmon. both were wonderful. we would return in a heartbeat."

"Someone had told us this place was great and had improved recently. We tried on Anniversary and did not find it special at all. They had a big group there so our waitress was bouncing between that and tables she had. Long periods of time she was gone, and kept apologizing as kitchen was backed up. Frankly not my problem, and was not impressed. Food was room temp at best (probably because sat so long to be served) Will NOT return."

"Unfortunately, the restaurant ran out of some food on the buffet by the time of our reservation and that was a little disappointing to everyone in our group. Many of us traveled quite a distance to meet for an Easter Brunch only to discover that some food items were no longer available."

"This restaurant has been around since I was a child; 50 years later it's even better. The sea bass special was outstanding. Large portion, cooked to perfection. The choices in meats; three sizes make it a good choice for folks with differing appetites."

"Hadn't been there in years and it was always known for their decent food. We were pleasantly surprised to see the renovations. Waited in bar for table - had a glass of wine and good conversation with bar staff. We got up to see if our table was ready and it was. We were seated. The atomosphere is too quiet. You can hear a pin drop during a conversation. Server was on her 3rd day. She was nice but clearly didn't understand her job duties as of yet. From start to finish on the meal, the food was awful, it is definitely of the "frozen" kind - especially the lobster. Should have known by the pricing that was offered. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone until the new owners can figure out how to run a restaurant!"
