Thorn Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Leyden Township

During my stay in America, I had the pleasure of dining at Thorn Restaurant, located at The Rose Hotel behind the Fashion Outlets of Chicago. This fantastic restaurant exceeded all my expectations with its sophisticated ambiance and exceptional culinary offerings.

From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a chic and contemporary decor that perfectly complemented the restaurant's elegant atmosphere. The setting was both stylish and comfortable, making it an ideal spot for a memorable dining experience.

The food at Thorn was simply outstanding. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The menu offered a diverse selection of exquisite dishes, ensuring there was something to satisfy every palate. The attention to detail in both preparation and presentation was evident in every bite.

The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Their dedication to providing an exceptional dining experience was clear, and it made the evening all the more enjoyable.

Whether you're in the area for shopping or staying at The Rose Hotel, I highly recommend visiting Thorn Restaurant. It is a true gem that offers an unforgettable dining experience. I look forward to returning on my next visit to Chicago.

Thank you, Thorn Restaurant, for a delightful evening that perfectly capped...

Located in the Rose Hotel, same proximity as Dave and Buster’s and Trulucks. If the parking is full, just park in the huge parking lot across the street by Dave and Buster’s. When you walk into the hotel, the Thorn restaurant is to your right. The vibe is semi classy and intimate. It can also be a casual place to hang out, eat, and watch tv. Service was fantastic, they really take care of you over here. Prices are reasonable given the atmosphere. I had shrimp tacos, hemp hummus, and the Westcoast smasher burger. Pro tip: when you check in on Yelp, you get the hemp hummus for free. It was big enough to share with two other people.

-shrimp tacos 5 - these are good sized tacos. Easily shareable. The shrimp pieces were fresh and juicy. Shells were soft. Avocado pieces were large chunks. The corn tortilla chips were crunchy and did not break easily. -hemp hummus 5 - fresh ingredients and warm naan. Very light appetizer. -Westcoast smasher 5 - ordered it medium and it came out perfect. It’s a very clean burger. Your hands don’t get oily or greasy. Meat practically melts in every bite. Special sauce amplifies the flavor. French fries were crispy and they’re on the thinner side....

We spent Mother's Day here and it was a perfect experience. We chose not to do the brunch special and instead ordered off the menu due to our timing.

From the moment we walked in we were well taken care of and directed with great care to our reserved table. And although this is in a hotel you certainly couldn't tell. Modern decor and furnishings made this a special space.

The menu was just the right size: not too much to be overwhelming but enough selection for everyone's needs. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it was perfect in every way. The chicken was fried but not greasy and the waffle was crunchy yet soft. I opted for two sunny sides on top.

While I did not partake, the bloody Marys were bloody good (I heard) and the kids menu was a standard affair, though our eldest had the mac and cheese. Most definitely made from scratch.

And even though it was just noon we had to have some dessert. The key lime pie had a good tang. The rest of the table had the raspberry sorbet and they were happy to have it.

All in all a great experience in a beautiful setting. Definitely set up for families but I could also see doing a business...
