The waiter/waitress hardly came around and my hot coffee/alcohol beverage was warm and got cold very fast. The food was very good, the restaurant was clean and beautiful! The roses on each table were gorgeous too! The only suggestion I have is to have the blinds down during the day because it was difficult to see since it was so bright.

Hi Addy, thank you for taking your time out to leave us this amazing review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time at Thorn and we are very sorry that the service was not up to your expectations.

Our server (Jacob) was awesome! In fact, everyone was great…The hostess knew I was joining the other guests, a brunette female server was super helpful, too! Three of us girls had not seen each other in a few years and we had a lot of catching up to do! No rushing us…plenty of water refills…etc.

Very cool restaurant inside the Rose Hotel. The ambience was great! Went for an early dinner on a Friday night. It was quiet until about 7pm. Service was very good. I ordered the Medi Platter Bowl. The chicken shawarma was dry and cold. The hummus was tasty. My friend got the faroe salmon and she said it was good. I will try it again but order something else.
