    I went with a couple of friends on Sunday for the Salsa Brunch. Great music but not too loud. We…read morewere still able to converse comfortably. One of my friends had a couple of Bloody Marys, one had a couple of spicy Margaritas. She said she liked the jalapeno one better than the habanero. I chose my drink from the cocktail menu but I don't remember the name. It had pineapple and rum and is served in a martini glass. Shhh! I had 3 We ordered the fish dip which was delicious and plentiful. Instead of chips, it's served with spicy plantain chips. We shared a Marguerite pizza and Caesars salad. So good!! So good!! I've eaten at Thorn before and it was great then too! Our server was Awesome! She was taking care of numerous tables but was always on point with us. I don't remember her name but she has auburn hair.

    Poor service. Slow kitchen. Boring mid food. Loud…read more Only table in restaurant with our 3 top at 12pm on a Sunday. We ordered 3 brunch entrees. Everything arrived at different times. First entree came out in 10 minutes. 5-10 minutes later the second entree came (it was toasted bagels with their accompaniments on a tower... so like the easiest item ever). After waiting about 50 minutes total our final entree arrived... a breakfast pizza. So I guess don't go here if you intend to eat together? Or want hot food. No communication except at the 30 minute mark of waiting a random person came to tell us that the pizza was working. Our server abandoned us, so we never got a second round while waiting almost an hour for our food. She apparently was too busy taking the second table to walk in. No one apologized for the wait on food. None of what we ordered tasted good. I guess with cold food that's hard to judge though. My avocado toast had a full field of micro greens that covered up any other flavor it might have had. I'm sure the crowd of middle aged dinners appreciated the DJ though. Cuz this is Miami and that's how things are done. Slow, inconsiderate, and loud.

    I agree with another reviewer in giving this restaurant 3 1/2 stars, however, instead of bumping…read moremine up I'll bring it down. While the decor was nice, the lights were flickering on and off the whole time we were there. It had to be a wiring issue but it was definitely obnoxious. The staff was very nice, but SLOW! We got to the nearly empty restaurant and were sat quickly, however, with informing that we were still expecting two more were left completely unattended. Instead of placing drink and appetizer orders, we had to wait until the other two arrived which ended up being over half an hour. I could've used a drink or two or three. Once everyone was there, we had to flag down servers just to get a little attention. The drinks took a bit to come out and the appetizers took so long we scrambled to put food orders in the second we got the apps. The food itself was great. I have no complaints on the food as it tasted good. I'm not usually a chimichurri eater but I LOVED this one. Portions were good and the pricing wasn't bad. I just feel like with so much competition for restaurants in Miami, they need to step up their game. With El Centro Americano in the same shopping center and El Madroño across the street, this restaurant will never survive if left as is.

    Really wish I could give 3 1/2 stars, but for the sake of quality, I bumped my reading up to four…read moreinstead of three. Here are my gripes first. 1. With the amount of Nicaraguan restaurants in the area, I found the portion of the sides to be very lean. Well, the steak was generous in size, I had ordered Maduros and Repollo, which were both small. I received maybe three or four Maduros's, which probably amounted to half a plantain, and small 1/2 cup size of repollo. 2. Where is the spice?!? And the flavor?? Specifically with the sauces, and the oil, I wanted more picante and vinegar-flavor. Also, the "chimichurri" consisted mainly of oil! Aside from those two complaints, the quality of ingredients were great. The steak was absolutely divine and delicious. It had been marinated in a citrus and soy sauce from the flavor of it, and grilled to perfection with the perfect amount of doneness that I had requested. It was juicy, seasoned well, and what gives this review four stars instead of three. Honestly, I will go back just for the churrasco steak alone! Service is good, attentive, I'm very friendly. The space is in a strip mall. Restaurant is clean, with a good ambience and had a variety of daily specials for both lunch and dinner. I'm still dreaming about that steak! If only the chimichurri and toppings had more kick to it!
