Everytime I come to Hawthorne & Wood the experience is great. Cozy ambiance. The food 10/10, well seasoned and cooked. I've sat at the bar multiple times, at a table and been served in the private room with a group. Great service everytime! This time I sat at the bar and ordered from the winter tasting menu with the wine paring. I highly recommend. Each dish was served as described and tasted great. Nice parings too! My only issue was the steak been served a bit too rare for my liking. But I told my server and the cooked it a bit more and it was perfect.

My son brought me to Hawthorne & Wood for dinner, and it definitely lived up to everything I’ve heard. I’ve been wanting to try this spot for a long time, and I finally had my chance this week. I ordered the seared New Bedford scallops and my son had the sautéed flounder. We shared the gem salad and the roasted honeynut squash—every dish was outstanding.
The ambience is warm and inviting, the service was attentive, and the wine selection was excellent. A beautiful dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Everything I’ve tasted here has been amazing, but I have dreams about the fish with rice and coconut cream sauce. Last time we visited our waiter told us it was one of their signature dishes and I can see why.

The one thing this place can do consistently is disappoint. I don’t know why I’ve continued giving this place another shot. I ordered steak and scallops, which took an hour, ( the group that came in after us got their meals first) and when it arrived, it was cold. The steak was awful. It was like rubber with no flavor. I’ve definitely learned my lesson and won’t waste anymore money here.

My daughter and her husband had been here and were not impressed but I wanted to give it a shot because of the positive reviews. I was similarly disappointed.
The service was outstanding and the presentation was great but the flavors just didn't impress me. Had the porkchop with Brussel sprouts. First, it was really hard to trim the fat off the porkchop because it was just too dark in there. Had to keep turning my phone on to see what I was cutting at. And the sauce was kind of a disappointing barbecue sauce - too sweet and not enough kick. Maybe it wasn't trying to be a barbecue sauce but then what was it supposed to be? Although I'm not a brussel sprouts fan I figured maybe they would have a creative way of preparing them. Not really. They were basically just grilled with no detectable flavor I could come up with other than bitter.
Bottom line is that I've had more creative takes on these dishes elsewhere.

Hawthorne & wood was such a fun and fascinating experience. I hope to experience the quality and service here that I do at all the restaurants I visit. Truly an unforgettable experience. My boyfriend and I made the trip for my Mom’s 55th birthday and were delighted with the atmosphere. While we had no reservations and they were a little bit too busy for a table, we were invited to sit at the bar (which was quite a treat for us chatty folk!). My boyfriend and mom had the burger, which from their words was incredible. I, however, was curious about their tasting menu. For $70, I received a five course meal consisting of numerous seasonal and fascinating dishes. I would like to add that the lamb tartare blew me away! I was so fascinated with the spices and combinations of the ingredients that I would have never expected to work so excellently together! I have never had a restaurant nor a dish pick my brain in such a manner. The bartender who mainly worked in front of where we sat provided interesting input and answered all of our questions. We were also provided with a fascinating explanation on their cereal for dinner cocktail and how it is made! (High recommend asking, so interesting!) I had additionally mentioned to the bartender that it was my mom’s birthday, and we were so graciously gifted an additional chocolate truffle dessert, which, while small, was incredibly rich and delicious. Such a beautiful visit with incredible food, new flavors, and kind staff! Thank you Hawthorne & wood!
Great wait staff. Explain options very well. Accommodating to menu changes. Bar drinks were nice, maybe a little skimpy. Would definitely visit again!

We went a few months ago and I forgot to leave a review but I am now! This meal was hands down one of the best (or the best) we’d had in the triangle. Our favorite things were, my husband had a really good fish dish that had a lemongrass base, and I had an amazing pork dish. Also the dessert we had I think was my favorite dessert I’ve ever had in a restaurant, it was an Italian icecream type thing (forgive me, I don’t remember what it was called). The only thing that wasn’t our fav (though still good) was the kung pao cauliflower. Wasn’t bad by any means but I was expecting more flavor. So I probably just wouldn’t order it again. We can’t wait to come back and have made reservations to come back!

Scallops were just okay. The tiny haricot verts and fingerling potatoes poorly presented. The cheeseburger was amazing!!!Dessert just okay. Did outdoor dining and it was cold. They NEED outdoor heaters.

We loved the atmosphere The Bartender super friendly and made us a yummy cocktail. At dinner we had an awesome Waiter. Unfortunately the pork chop was dry and way over smoked. The Scallop dish was over salted. Our salad was absolutely delish! We appreciated the waiter splitting our salads on individual plates. We will try again, just felt like they were having an “Off” day.
They did an amazing job for my engagement dinner, making my fiancée feel extremely special!
