This is the second time we have been there. Both experiences were very good. the wait staff was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was fairly quiet but we were there for an early dinner. This time we ordered the mixed grill for two. Included were American rib lamb chops, shrimp, sausage, and meatballs. It was delicious and there was plenty of it. The soup of the day was a carrot soup, very tasty. we finished with tea and coffee as there was no room for dessert. We'll definitely go back.

Had an amazing dinner here. The favorites were the Bronzino fish, Salmon and Lamb Burger. We had the hummus dipped in which was a great appetizer. The prices were reasonable and quality excellent. It is a very open restaurants and can get a bit noisy with large groups. Overall excellent choice for a meal.

Delicious fresh food, beautiful restaurant, friendly staff. They were also very accommodating of dietary needs.I’m not from this area, so I found this restaurant through googling what was nearby Westchester Medical, and am glad that I did. I would like to return next time I’m in the area!Vegetarian options: They offer falafel as a delicious vegetarian friendly protein option or substitute in their salads, and have other vegetarian meal options.Dietary restrictions: Will offer alternatives they have available if you have dietary restrictions.

My daughter and I shared the fried eggplant...was absolutely delish! Ordered the pear salad and topped it with salmon. The salad alone, was very good. The salmon was the crowning glory! Was cooked perfectly!!!

Literally everything about this place is amazing. We love coming here for lunch and bringing our dogs on the patio, or coming for dinner and having their amazing food and drinks. The lamb burger is the best thing ever. Our favorite restaurant!!!

It's wonderful to have a neighborhood restaurant where you can find the food will be good, the staff welcoming, and the decor festive. We both had delicious meals - one veal Osso Bucco and one Chicken Scapariella with linguine. Both of us needed to take some home. We will be back.

This restaurant was just ok, I was hoping it would be better. The drinks were good, but the food was not nearly as good as we were hoping. Our appetizers (charcuterie board and flatbread) were nothing special. I had the grilled branzino which was ok but not hot, and my husband shared the mixed grill with a friend and it was very overcooked and he did not like it. We went on a Saturday night and the noise level is out of this world. You cannot hear a thing. I don't think we will be going back.

I went to The Thorn restaurant on Friday evening. I was greeted with a big smile. I requested to sit at the bar. The bartender made a perfect martini. She overheard my conversation with my husband asking about my concern with the gluten free items on the menu. She interrupted our conversation and went over the items on the happy hour menu that I would be able to order. I appreciated her knowledge of the menu and Celiac's disease. We ordered several appetizers and they were out of this world delicious. The grilled octopus was my dinner and it was outstanding. My husband had the gnocchi. He said it reminded him of the gnocchi he had in Italy! During our time there, all of the staff were pleasant and periodically checked in on us. The decor was cozy, pretty and very cool. I will definitely be going back.

The food is excellent. The salmon was wonderful and my husband had the steak, which was also superb. The service was very good and the decorating is very nice as well. We will be back.

40 person celebration.Celebrating a special occasion with a large group can be a daunting task, but our recent experience at The Thorn Restaurant & Bar proved to be an exceptional choice. From start to finish, this restaurant went above and beyond to ensure our celebration of a baptism with 40 people was an unforgettable event.Consistently delicious food.With such a large group, it's often a challenge to maintain the quality and timing of each dish, but The Thorn was great. The menu offered a diverse range of options to cater to all preferences and dietary requirements. The flavors were exquisite, and each dish was beautifully presented. Also, the portion sizes were generous, leaving no one unsatisfied! The best part is that the courses were well-paced, and no one was left waiting for their meal. This allowed us to focus on the celebration, ensuring that every guest had a great time.Tonin deserves a special mention for his outstanding service. He made himself and his staff available at all times, ensuring our requests (mimosas/bellinis, music, dietary needs, etc.) were promptly addressed. He was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and ensured that our experience was nothing short of exceptional. His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly made a difference.In all, The Thorn provided us with a memorable and stress-free celebration. The combination of their accommodating nature, consistently delicious food, great timing, and perfect ambience exceeded our expectations. Tonin's exceptional service added that personal touch that made the day even more special. My wife and I can't recommend The Thorn enough and look forward to returning for future celebrations.
