The Thorn Restaurant & Bar

The service here was so incredible. Delish food and drinks. Everyone was so friendly, professional and kind, going above and beyond for our family. Great place for lunch, brunch or dinner. From the food to the cocktails and everything in between- We highly recommend this restaurant!

Just stopped here on our 13 hour drive from Bar Harbir Maine to Chesapeake Virginia for dinner. This Mediterranean ispired food is amazing!!! I had grilled Branzino- so yummy! My 11 year old son had a pasta dish that was excellent-shrimp with a creamy basil pesto sauce and roasted red peppers. My husband had a short ribs lasagna that was superb with a very tasty simple side salad. We also had the “Thorn chips”- fried zucchini and eggplant with yummy tzatziki sauce. My dirty martini with Hendricks was on point! Highly recommend!

We were a table of eight, which is never easy to manage in any restaurant. The food, drinks, and service was excellent. The portions were good and the service timing was excellent. I recommend diners take the opportunity to visit this restaurant.

I've been coming for over a year, and this place is my favorite the staff the location amd the decor is the best

Omg, I just left the Thorne restaurant in Thornwood with my family. The food was the most delicious and authentic that I have had in a very long time. I ordered the lamb Osso buco special and it fell off the bone. My husband, kids and I are so excited that we have the best restaurant close to home.

We had Mother's Day brunch at the thorn. The food was very good. The atmosphere was great. A little pricey but everyone finished everything on their plate!!

Wonderful food and staff. The service was quick and consistent and the staff were very polite and attentive.

Hosting my baby shower at The Thorn was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The staff went above and beyond to make everything feel effortless and special—so attentive and accommodating from start to finish.
The food was outstanding; every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. And the ambiance? Absolutely stunning. The chic, floral décor of the restaurant perfectly complemented our baby shower theme and needed almost no extra decorating.
It was an unforgettable experience, and I can’t recommend The Thorn enough for any celebration or any day dining.

Every meal at The Thorn is an excellent experience. The staff are courteous and friendly. Nice ambiance, plenty of light and windows. The front of the restaurant opens in warmer weather.

Favorite Dishes: Short rib lasagne, chicken milanese, lamb burger, pesto pasta with burrata. My family always starts with the meze platter and ‘thorn chips’, which comes delicious tzatziki.

The chef is able to accommodate food allergies.

There is also a bar scene, nice lighting.

It's a super local find! The Cevapi sausage and Kofte meatball appetizers were delicious, and the fried zucchini & eggplant app was amazing! Pappardelle Pasta with Shrimp and the Branzino were also lovely. Great flavors and loved the use of all the herbs. Next time, we will try some of the salads.
