Great place to celebrate a special occasion. Cocktails were superb! The wine chosen by our server was very complementary to my wife’s scallop entree and my pork chop. In my opinion Hawthorne & Wood is best suited for intimate dining without children.

From start to finish, my experience at Hawthorne & Wood was phenomenal. We chose the chef’s tasting menu with wine pairings, and every course was a masterclass in flavor and presentation.
The evening began with a chilled pea soup accented with pistachio. This was vibrant, fresh, and the perfect opener. Next came perfectly seared scallops, delicate yet deeply flavorful. The third course, a tender pork shoulder with jalapeño and peaches, struck a flawless balance between savory heat and sweetness. The fourth course was a melt-in-your-mouth Angus beef filet, cooked to perfection and complemented by a robust red. To finish, the banana dessert was both comforting and inventive, a sweet finale that tied the meal together.
The wine pairings elevated each dish, highlighting the chef’s thoughtful menu progression. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere felt refined yet welcoming. Five stars without hesitation.

Pretty much a perfect meal. Every dish was tasty, interesting, and perfectly executed. The service was wonderful; our waitress knew the wine list inside and out and all three of her recommendations from the menu were spot on. Dessert was also phenomenal. Can't really think of anything I would change.

This was our first time coming here and everything was impeccable. The food was absolutely amazing, and so was our server. She did an amazing job, i can’t recall her name, but she’s a kind red-headed lady. She went above and beyond for us last night, and even made our anniversary a little more special. 10/10 will be returning

Food and service are both five out of five, but the atmosphere could use a little work, though perhaps that’s just because we were there on the early end.
Our server was great and had strong recommendations, and the food was delicious. We had been before, but had to leave due to an emergency, which we did put in the comments and I would have expected them to address it, but they did not.
Either way, the food was great and you’re probably over ordered as portions are solid.

Expensive restaurant for special occasions. Service was impeccable. Food was good and well prepared. First course pork belly was my favorite. Rabbit was ok and tenderloin was excellent. No pics, forgot. Wine list is extensive but pricy.
Great place. Exciting flavors and some nice surprises. Excellent service.
