Upon arriving for the last reservation of the evening, I typically approach such situations with a sense of trepidation, aware that servers are often eager to conclude their long shifts. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service we received. Our server, whose name escapes me—likely due to my own fleeting memory—was attentive and gracious throughout our dining experience. For our meals, my companion chose the chicken sandwich, which was beautifully presented and received high praise for its juicy flavor and crisp texture. I opted for the Yehaw steak, a dish that was cooked to perfection, boasting a rich and savory profile that delighted the palate. To complement our meals, I indulged in a mocktail crafted by our server, which was both refreshing and delightful, setting the tone for the evening. This was my inaugural visit to Thorn, and I left with a strong inclination to return. The dessert, in particular, was a masterful culmination of the dining experience, providing the perfect finale to an already exquisite meal.

Met up here for a birthday lunch and it was just wonderful. Ambiance is cozy, the service was wonderful and the food was excellent - tasty with generous portions. We were able to relax and enjoy a long lunch and they didn’t rush us out which we appreciated. Looking forward to a return visit.

Good place to go in a suburban wasteland. Varied menu, interesting options. Nice servers. It was fine for the evening, but not so much a destination for us. Hummus needed lemin, plate needed veggies. Carnitas apparently very good. Avocado burratta very good. Skip dessert.

Hi Susanne, thank you for visiting Thorn Restaurant and Lounge, we really appreciate your feedback. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed majority of our dishes and that the servers were kind to you. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Have a great evening.
