    I’ve been there twice for brunch. Great food and fun atmosphere. The service was a little spotty, with a food substitution and a side order missed.

    I visited this restaurant for brunch and the food was pretty tasty. I ordered the potato mess & it was a bit bland but the garlic hot sauce added a nice little extra kick. Originally I planned to eat indoors but it was so noisy inside & I didn’t want to yell my way through brunch so we sat outside instead. Wait staff was pleasant and friendly. Outdoor ambiance was lovely on a beautiful fall day.

    I took my sister there for her birthday lunch and we had a wonderful time! There is a lovely fireplace there, and the fire was warm and welcoming on a cold day! We had a table near the fire, and it was so nice! We both had a delicious omelette called the Green Goddess with goat cheese and artichokes and spinach! Yummy! My caramel latte was really good too! Our wait-person, Devon was the Best and my sisters Birthday was acknowledged! We had an A+ experience!

    Nice venue with the outdoor seating. I was disappointed in the food. The potato mess which I ordered tasted bland. If I go back I am ordering something else. The service was a little slow but I attribute that to the crowd. The server was pleasant.

    Waaaaay too loud inside. Had to ask them to turn down the music a couple turns. Service at times good but server would disappear and we had to wave our arms to get the check. Someone else helped us. They looked busy. I think they are understaffed.

    The food was fantastic but it did take a little long to come out. The only issue I had was that we made a reservation but when we arrived, they told us a table wouldn't be available for another 20 mins.

    Excellent food. I would give the service 7 stars if I could. The servers were not just responsive and attentive. They were also incredibly nice and accommodating of my family, which included both kids and seniors. Kudos to Hawthorne's for hiring and training such a solid, empathetic staff.

    The food and service were fine! The noise level was akin to standing in the middle of a rock concert venue without ear protection. We had to scream at each other to be heard (on a Saturday brunch!) so we eventually stopped talking.

    Sooo good!! I had the fried chicken sandwich and passion fruit margarita. Sandwich was sooo bomb and flavorful. The marg couldve been a bit stronger (and i hate strong drinks), but it was delicious. I cant remember my server name but he was nice. He didn’t rush us and was very attentive. And we didn’t notice but me and my gf was there from 12:45 until about 3 something just eating and chit chatting. I will definitely be going back!

    This place is poppin’ with the outdoor seating, but the atmosphere was wonderful inside for our meal. We had an assigned table from our reservation and were seated immediately. The food came out delicious and was inhaled within minutes! I HIGHLY suggest the homefries, but if you ask for a “side” of homefries it’ll be a full bowl. Either way, scrumptious.

    Good food,, willing to modify when asked, excellent service,. Salmon dish was wild salmon. We took a a friend for her birthday. The server put our cake in the refrigerator and served it with a candle while singing Happy Birthday. We sat in a booth on Fitzwater Street which was comfortable and quiet.

    Sat outside in the lovely weather. Server took a while to come, but that was fine. Solid bloody marys. Had the potato stack and the waffle. Both were quite tasty. Food came out before the drinks. Ordered a second round which was also delayed. Service was friendly but sparse. I’d go back for the food and the affordable pricing.

    Server was awesome. Host was flexible with our delay due to Taylor Swift weekend (although I know it can be tricky). Food came out quickly and was great quality. Fantastic espresso martini. Don’t live in Philly, so recommended this place to my friends who do. 5/5 stars!!!
