You can't beat the ambiance in the Hawthorne Tavern. The food is consistently great, and the staff give you just the right amount of attention. We love it for birthdays, anniversaries and when guests are in town.

In town for Salem So Sweet. Had the special menu. Food was delicious. Reservation was 6:30. Not too busy, we were seated early (our request) I would definitely be back.
Robin
I recently dined with 3 other longtime women friends and we all enjoyed our entrees. The atmosphere is casual. Our waiter was professional and didn't rush us. The food in the tavern is consistently delicious as I have dined here multiple times and always get a nice meal.
Joan
The Tavern is a charming and cozy environment with fireplace. Food is consistently good as is service.
Kathleen
The Tavern is a go-to place for my friend and I. It is quiet, cozy and has wonderful food and service. Place to go for a lovely lunch and chat.
Howard
Delightful, warm, cozy atmosphere. Comfortable seating. Waiter was great. Drinks excellent. Good was delicious, especially the coconut curry rice bowl with shrimp; scrumptious.
Martha
Love the room with wood paneling and fireplace. We arrived early for dinner and our waitress was very busy as she was also the bartender. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable esp after more help arrived. Had the restaurant week menu- Brie and blackened shrimp w/ polenta for apps and salmon and chicken Marsala entrees. All were delicious and plentiful. Had the chocolate torte for dessert which was rich and filling served w/ whipped cream and raspberries. Will come again as had a great time. The bar was very active too w/ everyone having a good time. Bonus, can park in hotel lot.

The food is so good. We go everytime we visit its a must do. Make sure to make reservations because it does fill up fast. The hotel is beautiful and we always make sure to go into the library. Something about it is calming.

My husband and I went here for breakfast. They had live music which was very nice! It was very busy and festive for the holidays. I got the Florentine Benedict which was delicious and the oatmeal which was perfect. My husband built his own omelette - you can add on many choices of vegetables, cheeses and meats. Definitely a happening place on Sunday morning. Staff and atmosphere were great!
We love returning to eat at The Tavern in the Hawthorne. The atmosphere is warm and inviting especially on a cold winter afternoon. The Hawthorne retains the old fashioned feel of a small city hotel. The food is always very good, if not gourmet fare. The prices have definitely risen over the last few years but that is the case everywhere these days. When we were there yesterday afternoon the lobby was filled with poinsettias and a wedding reception was being held in the adjacent event space. It all felt very festive. We ate in the tavern and had a table next to the fireplace. A fire was crackling away, adding to the holiday feel. Our server was excellent and very attentive. I can heartily recommend The Hawthorne Hotel!

Some items were a bit pricey, but overall the food and service was very good, making up for it. This would be a great place for a small group special occasion.

Had a great time. The menu is large and accommodating both a full meal and snacks. The nachos and fries were delicious and the service was excellent. It’s a great option for one looking for an old school tavern with lots of history.

I so enjoyed my two meals there this week. Good not great food but wonderful service and ambiance. That said,I think that the prices have become rather high. $38 for meatloaf in a tavern? Please bring back the penne pasta with smoked mozzarella. BTW - I have been dining there since 1980.
