Hawthorn Sushi, Steak & Seafood

Hawthorne recently opened again after closing during the covid pandemic. Although the place was not too crowded around 6pm it was about 3/4 full by 7:30pm. The music was nice and the service was prompt. We ordered some appetizers and cocktails at first. For cocktails we got a lemon drop martini, lychee martini, skinny blood orange margarita, and the basil fig + honeysuckle smash. They were all awesome. I would come back just to sit at the bar and get some sushi/drinks with my girlfriends. For appetizers we got the crab beignets, meatballs, and beef egg rolls. Meatballs and egg rolls were hands down amazing. Would come back just to have them. Crab beignets didn't live up to the hype. Entrees: Tiger roll, sunshine roll, and baked brie were amazing. Wouldn't order the poke bowl again, not much flavor and not worth the money. Overall liked the restaurant! Would recommend for good food semi fancy restaurant for small parties.

Excellent service EVERY time. I also love that it isn't super pretentious. I can walk in any day off the street wearing a ballcap and jeans, and easily get a bar seat for dinner. The food is also spectacular. I highly recommend this place! Food : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 … More

I’ll start off with the positive of our experience at Hawthorn. 1. Beautiful restaurant THAT’S IT!! The lack of service was UNACCEPTABLE!!! You can NOT call yourself a high end restaurant and have this kind of service!! Our party of 10 was completely BAFFLED! TRUST the other reviews(I wish we did)! It was embarrassing!!! In the 1hr and 15min we were there. EVERYONE at the bar with tables complained and left(that should have been our sign)! We waited that long for waters! And our 1st cocktail! CiCi our bartender for the entire restaurant was also our waitress. I felt so bad for her! She got Absolutely no help from management. CICI if you’re reading this, IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT! Both male & female “managers” were mainly props in the restaurant! I had to let 2 parties know of our experience and they left(as me and our party should have too). The management at this place is a joke. The owner of this place SHOULD be here witnessing what’s happening here EVERY DAY!! We will not nor ever come
