    We had Sunday reservations at 11am. We arrived on time, and we were seated immediately. Our waitress allowed time for us to look over the menu. She took our drink order and when she returned with our drinks she took our order for brunch. The bread basket was great! The beet salad with goat cheese was perfect. The egg white omelet with fresh herbs was very good. ☆☆☆☆☆

    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🤌🏼

    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!
