However, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service we received. Our server, whose name escapes me—likely due to my own fleeting memory—was attentive and gracious throughout our dining experience. For our meals, my companion chose the chicken sandwich, which was beautifully presented and received high praise for its juicy flavor and crisp texture. I opted for the Yehaw steak, a dish that was cooked to perfection, boasting a rich and savory profile that delighted the palate. To complement our meals, I indulged in a mocktail crafted by our server, which was both refreshing and delightful, setting the tone for the evening. This was my inaugural visit to Thorn, and I left with a strong inclination to return. The dessert, in particular, was a masterful culmination of the dining experience, providing the perfect finale to an already exquisite meal.

Ambiance is cozy, the service was wonderful and the food was excellent - tasty with generous portions. We were able to relax and enjoy a long lunch and they didn’t rush us out which we appreciated. Looking forward to a return visit.
