This was my first time going to Hawthorne and I love the ambience when I first went in. Even though there was not a lot of people the vibe was just right and the music selection was amazing.

We had a great time at Hawthorne! It's pretty loud in there so if you want somewhere with a quieter ambiance I would suggest checking out somewhere else, but we loved it!! The workers were so kind and the service was awesome for bottomless brunch.

Bottomless mimosas were good! Kept them coming. Food was good, music makes you want to get up and dance. Probably a lot livelier when the weather is nice and the rooftop is open.

I went for brunch and the food was not at all what we expected. It was very very mediocre. Bottomless mimosas were awesome but the service was very slow as there was only one server per floor even though it was practically empty. The music was also club vibes and extremely loud.

I was charged for my dining experience as well as someone else’s dining experience. When I contacted management (Demetrius Bright) and he stated “there’s nothing we can do”. Of course I will be disputing the charge with my bank, but I was attempting to be reasonable and notify the restaurant. Pay with cash or skip Hawthorne’s altogether. There are plenty of great restaurants on your street.

Food was excellent. They need help with servers it was short staff and maybe not touching straws with bare hands. Music was good ambiance was good. And the top floor needs some air conditioning it’s super hot. Would recommend to go though.

The music was so loud the waiter could not even hear to take our order so when it came out it was wrong. The wait after he gave us water was like 20min for him to come back take drink orders and food order. The food was basic. I won’t be returning here again.

There should be more than one person running the service. There was one person that was being a bartender, and server. He spent most of his time on the computer. It was at least 15 minutes for him to come to our table to serve us. My friend ordered a drink 10 minutes before the party was supposed to be there, which was at 3:15pm and he didn't get that drink until another 25 minutes later.

Cheeseburger sliders were sour and the bread was burnt. Our waiter was relatively new, but she had made some key mistakes. She put our exposed straws on the table, so we had to ask for new ones. We weren’t given silverware and she was all over the place, except for our table. The french toast was delectable, and the bartender made some really good mimosas. But the food and service was what was really bad. The drinks are good though!

I've been to Hawthorne multiple times but it seems as though the menu has recently changed. The new menu is not as appealing as the old menu and the food definitely does not taste the same. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with my last visit.

The service was disappointing. Table next to us had people falling on the ground and they got kicked out. Our served told our table who had Omni issues that we were over served. We were underserved. First bottomless brunch where I left sober. Food was as fine but they couldn’t keep up.

We had a 2:15pm reservation and we were seated at 2pm. The Hostess was very nice and accommodating. Laura was our waitress and she was GREAT! It's a party brunch so music was loud and everyone was having a great time. Food was good and mimosas were flowing. Never an empty glass.

Hawthorne was a great place for bottomless brunch! Made a reservation 2 weeks in advanced for Howard Homecoming weekend and was sent a confirmation text the day before to double confirm. Bottomless deal came with shots, plenty of mimosa refills were given and the food was very flavorful with decent proportions, but you may need to order a side. The only downside was getting waiter's attention when there was a problem with missing food (none of our sides came out with our entrees and there was no one to flag down for a while), but considering there only appeared to be 2 waiters serving our floor and the manager helping out it wasn't too bad. I would definitely come back !

There was a shortage of champagne during the brunch bottomless deal. It took an hour before my friends were given a drink, however the staff was very accommodating. Would give the restaurant a 4 out of 5 if the drink situation wasn't so chaotic. Everyone enjoyed their food.
