   Don't chose this restaurant if you are looking for a full dinner menu. Thorn offers a limited Bar Menu and drinks in a very trendy atmosphere. Our choices were very limited to "small bits". The food was very tasty but smaller portions. Excellent salad.

   Food and service is good. There is no signage for the restaurant. It is inside the Rose Hotel. The restaurant is really just an extension of the lobby. It was not a problem for us, but others may not enjoy that.

   Thorn Restaurant & LoungeResponded on June 9, 2022Hi Tim! We are so glad you enjoyed everything with us! We are working to correct the signage dilemma currently. We hope to see you back again soon! Best, Thorn Restaurant & Lounge

   La comida, no con mucho sabor. Pedí los “waffles” con pollo. Los waffles estaban en su punto, esponjosos por dentro y crujientes ligeramente por fuera. Ahora el pollo, sin gusto, o un sabor que le diera el toque para acompañar los waffles. En conclusión, la comida estuvo pasable. El ambiente excelente, el espacio abierto y la luz que entra por las ventanas le dan un aire chic al lugar. Está en lo que pienso es el lobby o parte del lobby del hotel. La decoración esta simple, pero de acuerdo al ambiente y lugar. El servicio: MALO! La chica que me atendió simplemente no tiene vocación. Entiendo que todos tenemos nuestros días, pero al final creo que la chica es así, pues la chica que termino atendiéndome al escuchar mi queja, me dejo entre ver que no es la primera queja que tienen sobre la otra chica. Le dije a esta última que la otra chica debía de agradecerle a ella el que yo dejara propina. En concluido, le doy 4 estrellas pues para el lugar, ambiente y precio, la comida podría tener más sabor.

   Nice restaurant, service and food. Would go back for certain. Fire alarm went off right at the end of breakfast so had to leave before we planned but assume that is an anomaly.

   Came for the brunch, they were a bit short staffed which made our wait a little longer. The food was a bit underwhelming, and came out missing things. The burger that came out well done (and not medium rare) that definitely did not have any beef hearts in it. The monte Cristo did not have powdered sugar, or any toppings. They didn’t have Bloody Mary mix, or peanut butter or plain toast. Usual things I would imagine a hotel property to have.

   Brunch menu is terrible, my friend found a knat in her beverage and the bartender refused to comp it and had a very poor attitude when we asked for another. Won’t be back. Beverages are good but pricey.

   Thorn Restaurant & LoungeResponded on March 20, 2022Dear Guest, We are so sorry your experience with us was not up to par. We do apologize about the hibiscus that is inside of the ice rose. This will be addressed with the team to ensure policies are met so that we may better serve future guests. We were able to pull up your receipt, and your beverage was removed from the bill.

    Thorn is a beautiful and elegant restaurant located in the rose hotel. The service was great and so was the food. We ate there once on Sunday for the brunch. When I did the reservation online I received an email with a free appetizer. We got shrimp tacos for the appetizer, which were delicious and the chicken and waffles and breakfast sandwich for the entrees. I highly recommend this restaurant for brunch. The tables are also set up nice and the ambiance is PERFECT. They do serve other items on regular days, but I only ate there for Brunch.

    Thorn Restaurant & LoungeResponded on March 17, 2022Dear Vickie, We are so glad to hear your brunch experience went so well! Please come back and try some of our new brunch cocktails that were just recently added! We can't wait to see you again soon! -Thorn Restaurant & Lounge

    Salad portion was good, butternut squash soup was ok. Must have been a special on brussel sprouts. Chicken & waffles. Chicken ok but waffles tasted kind of burnt. The crème bruelle tasted like it was bad, they put liquor in it. Nice ambiance, they had live entertainment. Parking was difficult after circling a few times had to park in parking garage. Many better choices in Rosemont.

    Very pleasant and served us well on a day (Christmas Eve) when many restaurants were closed. HOWEVER, it is less a restaurant than an eating area in the hotel lobby. Also, it is contained inside The Rose Hotel and there are no signs for "The Thorn Restaurant" so if you book on Open Table and go to the address it's quite confusing.

    There were only 3 tables yet service was incredibly slow and inattentive. We were not asked how our food was and when we needed our check we waiting 15+ minutes until I had to get up from our table and find our server. The food sounded like it would be amazing but it was very disappointing. Someone got the chicken and waffle which was very dry. I ordered fish and it was very bland and not very warm.

    I am still in disbelief over my experience at this restaurant and lounge yesterday. I approached the front desk of the hotel and they directed me to go to their lounge. There was a small group of people huddled around the bar of the lounge but there were no lounge personnel around. After awkwardly standing around for two minutes I approached the bartender and she said to go ahead and take a seat at whatever table I wanted. After sitting down and waiting for over 20 minutes I approached the bartender again and asked if someone was going to come to my table to take my order vs if I need to order at the bat. She apologized and said she would be there soon. After another 10 minutes she made her way over to my table, took my drink order, and then eventually I received my drink. I had made these reservations with the hopes of eating dinner, but after waiting around for over an hour and a half, and after three different trips to the bartender, our party was continuously ignored and in summary we ended up leaving because we never even had our order taken. No one really cared that we left or apologized for essentially wasting our time. We ended up going across the street and having a very pleasant experience a Trulucks.
