"We tried very hard to like Hawthorne but the food and service were both terrible. The ambiance is wonderful and the wine list - though meager - is adequate."

"The food is very good but the portions are small and the prices are high. The desserts are excellent but as expensive as an entree. The service is average and you need to work to get bread, get your table cleared and get anyone to come to the table."

They have an excellent piano player on a petite grand piano who plays all night long. It is very sophisticated and romantic.
The food is excellent!"

"We left before ordering. After being seated it was 15 minutes before we saw our waiter. He took drink orders and tried to take our dinner order at the same time. I told him I preferred to have a cocktail first. 15 minutes later he retuned without my wife's wine or my drink--and tried to take our dinner order again. We left."

"I enjoyed dining at Hawthorn Restaurant in terms of the food and the ambience. However, had it not been for the fact that we were there hosting someone on a special occasion, I would not have picked the restaurant. The food was very good, but the portion sizes were VERY small considering the VERY high prices being charged for the entrees. I also did not appreciate the prices being a la carte, so that it cost $10 extra to get a very small dinner salad that seemed to be overrun with shrubs instead of the usual items contained in a house salad.
For a restaurant like this to be worth the price, it has to offer much more than this one did."

"The first thing one notices is the incredibly overpriced wine list. Nothing under $180.00 on the tablet which we were presented! The waiter was supremely pompous and acted like he was doing us a big favor. The ambiance is wonderful though and the food some of the very best I have had in Houston. They MUST do something about the wine list and perhaps employ staff who enjoy actually serving patrons!!!!"

"This is my second time at Hawthorn's and I'm sorry to say that it wasn't as good as the first time. I had the mussels for appetizer, they were good but not great. My friend had the squid, too spicy and salty. I had the Tomato Pappardelle and was disappointed as well, way too salty. My friend had the lamb shank and she thought that was pretty good. What I really love about Hawthorn's is the atmosphere and how quiet it is so I can actually have a conversation without yelling. I also love the music that they play. Our waiter was really good as well. I will go back again and hope the food is better next time."

He ensured we were comfortable, imparted suggestions when asked, extremely knowledgable of the menu and wine parings. His timing of the courses was impecable. I found your restaurant beyond my expectations. Continue to strive for excellence and this restaurant will be here very a VERY long time. Thank you Hawthorn for one of the best dining experiences I have ever had."

"Came to celebrate late Valentines Day and was disappointed. Wine list on a tablet was limited and i'm still partial to a nice menu you can open and file through. When asked if there was a drink menu, there is none. I had the pork and my wife had the salmon. Salmon was too salty and pork was uninspired at best. Wait staff didn't make much effort to get to know us or make recommendations, etc. Very nice bar but poor/beginner modern art around the room cheapens the place..not to mention the cheasy live singing near the entrance. Very tough to find with unlighted sign at the top of the side of the building. I would NOT recommend wasting time or effort to find or go to Hawthorn. If your looking for a new spot go to Trinity or Ibiza."

"the food is good for the most part- the waiter was rather pretentious and service was very slow. There was a large group at the bar who stood behind us until seated making it uncomfortable as they were crowded close by. I do not think the restuarant lives up to the glowing reviews-the menu is rather limited, the atmosphere is lounge like and dark-maybe for a younger set. They cellar all their wines so one must wait for white wine to be chilled before serving. The waiter never came by to see if anything was needed-hence one of our group got no main course, as he had to wait to send back his plate and we had all finished by then, so he requested it to be removed from the bill which they did."

"Very nice ambience, hidden toward the back of a building on a busy street. The salad was overpriced, however, the stuffed quail appetizer, tomato pappardelle with braised short ribs, and scallop dishes were delicious! We sat at a table, but the bar area looked like a really nice spot to grab a drink."

"We arrived on time and were seated right away. We had requested a table in one of the smaller areas away from the main dining area as it is easier to talk. Our waiter arrived quickly and took our cocktail order. I ordered a salad and steak tartare for my meal. Both were excellent. We had a bottle of red wine that was the least expensive on the menu but it was good. The wine list is expensive.
I will go back again."

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Hawthorn - loved the ambience, intimate table settings set in an elegant, yet unstuffy, space. The food was exquisite and the service was very attentive, friendly and unobtrusive. Best part of our visit is the discovery of a fine restautant that seems to cater to a maturer crowd - no pounding music making it possible to have wonderful conversation to add to an elegant dinning experience!"

"First time here and I was impressed as soon as we arrived. Not a huge resteraunt which I think helps to keep it very nice. Great food, great service, good value. My wife and I loved it. It is marked now in my book as a must go to."

"I was pleasently surprised by this place. From the exterior, it is not inviting, but once inside it is beautiful. Since the street sign on Kirby is not visible, and the entrance is on the back side of the building, it was difficult to find. I drove past it several times trying to find it, which was VERY frusterating! The food was excelent, but the menu is very limited. The portion sizes are not listed, so we were surprised how small the steak was for the price. Over all, it was a good experience and I think this place has great potential, IF they can get drive by recognition and expand their menu. Oh, and get your fire feature up front repaired!"

"The Beef Tartar was excellent with all the classic fixings. The risotto of the evening was gorgonzola and pine nuts and it was perfectly cooked, a little creamy with excellent flavor. My husband had soup of the day and the crabcakes were fantastic. We were a little bit disappointed with the dessert, the Russian torte. It tasted good, but we thought it was more of a cake (as is said in the description) than a torte. We would have expected a more refined type of dessert at a place like this. With that said, the overall experience was very pleasant and I will definitely come back."

"The Hawthorn provides a lovely atmosphere, a wonderful diverse menu that is not only pleasing to the eyes but such an excitement to the palate.
It is truely a great restaurant that my wife and I will be frequenting at least several times a year.
We have recommended to everyone of our friends so we hope they enjoy it as much as we do.
The service is excellent and we wish that it was like that in all restaurants. Very attentive, informed servers and the manager makes sure that he stops by at least once during your meal. Great personal touch.
My wife stated that she would love to work in such a place when she graduates from culinary school."
