    Ahi Tuna Tartare-GF - Not good

    You'll find this spot hidden in the hotel. The cocktails are fantastic! I had the petaltini and lemon cheesecake martini. Both were excellent and made me happy. Ordered the tuna tartare and it was terrible. Looked gray and so bland. Virtually flavorless, we actually sent it back it was not good. Skip the food & go for the cocktails only. Our bartender was super nice.

    Absolutely superb! My son and I spent three nights at The Rose hotel, which is where The Thorn restaurant is located. We had breakfast there every day. The pictures are of the pumpkin french toast and the build your own omelette. Today, my son ordered the amazing tuna poke bowl with a mojito mocktail for his breakfast. The prices are also reasonable in this area of Chicago. The staff is amazing as well.

    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. Well seasoned.

    This spot is located within The Rose Hotel in Chicago. Thorn Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience both for breakfast and dinner with its delicious and fresh cuisine with an Asian twist. Thorn's menu is a fusion of modern American food favorites and a few signature Thorn Restaurant items. From classic Avocado Toast & Omelets to the fresh Poke Bowl and Seafood Flatbread. Every dish I've tried has had great flavor. Also noteworthy are the Greek yogurt bowls for breakfast! Thanks to Executive Chef Scott Wallett for feeding me great food at a convenient spot close to O'Hare.

    After some shopping at the outlet malls, we decided to grab a bite to eat. Since it's restaurant week, we decided on a place neither of us had been. It's in a hotel right off the parking. It's a decent view. I ordered the Rose Burger and fries + the Pineapple Cobbler cocktail. I requested medium rare, but it came out medium/well done. For dessert was the ginger creme brulee. It took about 15 minutes for desserts. The ambiance was nice, and the seating was in a wide open room. You definitely don't feel crowded. Nothing really wowed me over.

    I could go on and on about Thorn! Located inside of the Rose hotel, this a perfect spot to meet with friends, get some work done over a drink, have a date, and lounge around over some delicious food. Right when you enter the lobby, the restaurant will be on the right side so it's very easy to find. I could rave about the staff all day - Chef Nick and bar manager Mike are both so hospitable, personable and they do such a great job with the food and drinks at Thorn. The food pleasantly surprised me - you never think hotel restaurants are that amazing, but the food here really trumps that opinion! I recommend the salmon poke bowl, burrata avocado toast, and hemp hummus. The cocktails here are so intricate and good - I recommend the Petaltini, which is a martini served with a big rose shaped ice cube in the middle. Everything is reasonably priced, as well. The restaurant is very dimly lit and has a romantic ambiance to it; I loved it! I'm already planning on coming here to work at the lounge and order some lunch. Can't wait to see the staff again and try another yummy meal here!

    The food was really good, They have amazing drinks and specialty cocktails the only thing is that the service was the best. The bartenders were kind of nice but it didn't seem genuine and it seemed like they were being "fake nice". Like when you notice someone has an attitude but they hide it. The manager Mike was really nice tho he was much more friendly than Juan and Casey, the other 2 bartenders i had that day. 9/10 would recommend

    Great in hotel option for a two day stay! Came to stay at the Rose hotel by Hilton for two days and really enjoyed the delicious options that the thorn restaurant and lounge had to offer. On the first day I had the delicious rose burger, which was well seasoned with a delicious bun and tasty fries. For breakfast I had the breakfast burrito which the big highlight there was actually the smashed red potatoes. While the burrito was not bad a probably will try something else in the future. I would definitely come back for a nice meal!

    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.

    Such a cute little restaurant. Great lighting and pretty decor. The cocktails are absolutely lovely so creative and delicious. The food is good too. Our server was really nice. I'd recommend trying this out if not for the food definitely the cocktails.

I love that as soon as you enter, you are transported to a tropical oasis that is dark and moody. I visited with a larger group so we made a reservation before. One pays $5 per person in your group and the amount is later applied to your bill. The food menu is minimal and most items weren't available sadly. We got two orders of their pineapple salsa with taro chips. It was yummy but wasn't enough substance to match the drink levels. For drinks, our group got a wide variety. They have all sorts of flavor pairings to accommodate every guest. I got the Captain's Revenge after hearing the Pearl Diver was unavailable. It was good but not amazing. For my second drink, I got the Chocolate Banana Old Fashioned which I thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't hear anyone in our group be disappointed with what they ordered. Our server, Jazmine, was very knowledgable about the menu and asking the right questions to make sure what we each ordered would be something we liked. Overall, this was a fun experience and I am happy I finally got to visit! My experience was slightly tainted with how much was not available the night we visited.

We had to go all the way down to the hotel bar which is not handy at all. The seating was so tight in the Montrose Room you could barely get around, especially with no coat check. The sound system was not good. The Drummer had 7 mics on him and he was way too loud. You could barely hear the younger keyboard guy (forgot his name), even Althea Rene had to ask for him to be turned up. It has been many years since we were last at the Montrose Room and saw Norman Brown perform. Things were so much better back then and worth the tix price. Please ditch those tv tray type tables that tip easily with something better to put your drink on. You can do better! As to not just complain, we did enjoy the musicians and overall we enjoyed their music. Plus it was fun to dress up and go out to hear live music for New Year's Eve. However, to pay good money for the tix and pay a lot for parking, just to be left disappointed saddened us. Not enough effort was put into the whole experience.

Housed in the seriously chic InterContinental hotel, this intimate music venue boasts ringside cabaret seating and killer acoustics. It's obvious they poured a large investment in making sure the sound is top-notch! Right outside the doors leading into the Montrose Room is the Ice Bar. The specialty cocktails are made with some of my favorite things: St-Germain, champagne floats, passion fruit juice, and lychee vodka among other sexy ingredients. For the man in your life? Some stellar whisky, bourbon and cognac selections. Tip: Don't forget to have your parking validated by a bartender on the way out and you'll only pay $5. And, be sure to take a stroll around the hotel - the art collection is FAB.

Very generous portions! The chicken was juicy and flavorful: well-seasoned with a Mediterranean blend that wasn't overpowering. The mixed green lettuce itself was notable. I loathe limp lettuce...so much so that I often switch to butter lettuce or romaine for the crunch. These were among the best mixed green leaves I've had-very fresh. The farro was the perfect texture, without being overly salty (as it often is elsewhere.) I was glad to have ordered the "flight" of red wines-all 3 of which I enjoyed.
