Dined here during my stay at the Rose hotel. This restaurant & lounge is nicely situated just off the lobby and has a great atmosphere. I found the staff to be delightful! I was traveling alone, and on my arrival night at the hotel, I had a beer at the bar and enjoyed chatting with the bartenders. In the morning, I returned to get some work done over breakfast and coffee. I went with the omelette- which is build your own- and a latte. The meal came with big smashes potatoes on the side, along with sourdough bread & jam. Enjoyed my drink as well, made with Starbucks coffee & added vanilla. The breakfast was a whopping $30 however, which I find kind of wild. Is it just that it's because the restaurant is inside a hotel? Maybe these are typical Chicago prices? Either way, plan to spend a fair bit to dine here. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Nice and quiet atmosphere, but the staff could have used more bodies to alleviate slower service. Our server was friendly and informed, but also doubled as the bartender. Smaller menu, but something for everyone. The food is decent, but over priced, to be blunt. $51.00 for steak frites is just too much for a basic steak and fries. read more

We had a great stay and dinner, and breakfast the next day. The service is good. The ambiance is very. The decor of the hotel is very nice. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Thorn Restaurant & Lounge - a single rose in a glass vase - Lounges Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Food was okay, but not spectacular. The service was wonderful, however. The drinks were very good. Probably won't eat here again, unfortunately. There are other restaurants around. read more

Such an only ok experience. I saw that this restaurant was listed on the Rosemont restaurant week list, so decided to give them a try. However, restaurant week menu was not offered, so we had to ask about it. Inside was very pretty. We were greeted promptly. However, service was suuuuuuper slow. With 2 servers taking care of us, I was surprised at the slowness. I ordered the chicken and waffles - skip em. The waffle tasted like free hotel breakfast. Chicken had no flavor. My favorite item that I ordered was a mocktail. Made with 3 types of juice, it was refreshing. Unfortunately, it was a miss for me. read more

Guess we'll never know. We were staying at the Rose Hotel and decided to eat there rather than fight the weather. We were told at 5pm that they were fully booked and could not accept any walk ins. The whole restaurant was empty except for ONE couple at a table. Rather than eat at the bar (not our thing) we decided to try our luck out on the town. We were able to secure sustenance elsewhere and when we arrived back at the hotel at 7pm THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT WAS EMPTY. I'm angry now, just thinking about it because we were more than merely inconvenienced, but also because had to go out in bad weather because they didn't feel like seating us. What the heck? read more

It's mostly empty so service was too slow But we had come to relax so we were not in a hurry either Hummus appetizer and fried Brussel sprouts were outstanding Falafel salad was good, grilled cheese was great Poke bowl was mehhhh Drinks were good read more

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! read more

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 read more

Thorn Restaurant & Lounge - Burrata Toast - Lounges Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

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! read more

We were picking someone up at the airport in the early afternoon and wanted to get some food before driving into the city. We picked Thorn mostly for its location. We weren't pleasantly surprised, we were pleasantly amazed! It's basically a hotel coffee shop, but the food and service were spectacular! It's a fairly small menu, but what we had (Italian Avo Toast, Rose Burger, and Falafel Salad) were fantastic! We were all surprised at how delicious our entree's were. My wife and I are going to go back to shop in that Fashion Discount Mall that is connected to it, mostly as an excuse to go back to this restaurant. It's an hour and a half round trip for us, but the food makes it worth it. It's a really great place and the staff were very friendly. Very highly recommended! read more

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. read more

Located within the Rose hotel it was a great stop before we went shopping at the outlet. Open and doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant. It felt a little understaffed because service was a little slow but overall very good. The kitchen was able to make some adjustments as both myself and my friend recommended. Food came out fast and was delicious. Moderately sized portions. We both didn't have left overs. read more

Thorn Restaurant , this restaurant tucked away in the ROSE HOTEL is a diamond in the rough and I want to especially bring attention to STEPHANIE who is just fantastic. Her personality, attentiveness and professionalism were very much appreciated. She is absolutely wonderful and effervescent. read more

I really like the ambiance of this restaurant. The decor was very nice but it faces the parking lot. So your view is parking garages and parking lot. The waiter came to our table right away and served us drinks but he went MIA after the that. We had to stand to get his attention because he was serving drinks behind the bar. I got the medi platter which consisted of hummus, olive crumpled feta pickled cabbage and chicken. The chicken was extremely dry. It seems like it had been cooked earlier and then reheated. The hummus was good and the pita bread was soft but I the chicken was not good. Maybe 5 small slices on the plate for $22 My friend got the hamburger and he liked it but he asked for medium and it was clearly well done. read more

Great place right near O'Hare. The service was great! Our waitress made great suggestions. We went with the chicken and waffles. The honey butter with the waffle was so good. I will say if you are looking for a quick bite after a long flight, this could be a great stop. Located inside of The Rose Hotel. read more

I love that the restaurant is fittingly called Thorn located at the Rose Hotel. I think they were surprisingly slammed Friday night as I placed an order at the restaurant as no one was picking up the phone. I was finally able to get someone to take my order but got the ginger miso wings, roasted cauliflower bowl, and fries. Everything was amazingly delicious so much so that we got the Buffalo and Bbq wings the next day, which was also very flavorful and just as great! It wasn't as busy that next day and got to talking with the staff there and completely understandable for the wait and they are very nice. Prices are reasonable as well. We are already talking about getting food from here the next time we are in town. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The service that we received last Saturday was beyond unacceptable and I will not be back nor will I recommend this place to anyone. The food was mediocre and drinks were actually good but the service was disgusting. I received a drink with an actual bug in it and the bartender came over and said "I will not be remaking your drink because we use hibiscus and it's just going to look the exact same" I know what a bug looks like and as you can see, my friend ordered another one and there is CLEARLY no bugs in her drink. The man was very rude and demeaning and no reason why they had to speak to us in that manner when I was being polite & just requested that another drink be made. Do not waste your money here. read more

I actually was a part of the group that was able to do our tour of one of the suites that's available here at the Hilton Rose hotel. The suite that we toured was a corner suite. Beautifully furnished. Very spacious. Nice little city of view room even had the bathroom where you can watch television. It's like embedded into the mirror. Also very modern, very stylish yet. Minimalist concept. I cannot wait to go on to the website and actually book one of these beautiful rooms. read more

Open during the pandemic season with light service and social distancing. Of course that's up to your discretion because It is an open area and all the chairs are fabric aka non wipeable I stayed at the hotel and was pleasantly surprised by how yummy my meal was so I had to review. No one really here early afternoon so I asked for the private room I ordered the Avocado toast meal without the toast (gf bread supply chain wonky) but I didn't miss it. Eggs light and fluffy, avocado fresh and they serve Teavanna tea. Super friendly and helpful staff all over the hotel and here was no different. Near the airport and would definitely come again for brunch. read more

The food was really good. I got the Rose Burger. It looks simple but gosh it was very soft and easy for me to eat. Usually when I eat burgers At restaurants I always make a mess. The waitress even said that I made the right choice. Definitely was delicious. The fries was crispy just the way I loved them. My boyfriend got the shrimp tacos. He didn't tell me how it was but he said he wish it came with some sort of green sauces for the shrimp tacos. The area is really cute and very cozy. Sat by the window because I wanted to see the snow falling while I had a nice meal with my boyfriend. I had a great time here. It's inside The Rose Hotel O'Hare. If anyone does come here I recommend the Rose Burger. read more

Went there with the family for Easter Brunch. The staff were very friendly and the food was pretty good but a little pricey. You get kind of sent off if you put the name of the restaurant in the GPS, I'm glad the internet told us it was inside the Rose Hotel. It wasn't overly crowded and the ambiance was really nice. Will probably try it again for lunch or dinner. read more

When we first arrived we were waited on by someone on the phone just handing menus and waters while they chit chatted. Then tried to order the Long Island Ice Tea from the cocktails- they said they're out of cold brew they use. I asked if they can use a different cold brew since they serve Starbucks too, she said no. So wasn't a great start out after coming back for a do-over after a bad experience. I did order a cold brew Starbucks drink and added a shot of kahlua in it. We were here to drink at the bar and was instantly given a check after ordering one drink. Then after we finished our drinks we wanted another drink but the bartender needed to be flagged down in order for that to happen. All in all it was another terrible service and visit. One good thing was the something fruity drink was delicious. Just needs better bartended/service. After our first bad experience management did reach out to us and tried to make things better by sending a gift card, which was great but the service fell short by A LOT again. read more

Located in the rose hotel in rosemont. They didn't have our reservations but they quickly set us up in the banquets table for 4. The ambiance is very swanky due to the hotel vibe is swanky. We had brunch and everything was really good. Service took forever and when the guys got their eggs and bacon, there were not served with toast?? My hash was yummy and my niece who ordered the spring salad did I not get what was supposed to be in it. They did remake it though. A few things were not filling and felt skimpy. I might come back because the food was tasty. read more

This is absolutely not your typical hotel restaurant. Had dinner and breakfast here both were really good- dinner was exceptional. For dinner we shared several small plates that showed some creative flavor approaches, fresh ingredients, and nice presentation. We had the kimchi fries- wow, the avocado flatbread- solid and really nice bread, the Spanish hummus - oh, my!, and the fried chicken Bao bun- totally not traditional but totally yummy. For dessert we shared a flourless cake and affogato- both were delicious. For breakfast we had the avocado toast - nice with a perfectly cooked egg, the breakfast burrito- they use a great chorizo, and a breakfast croissant. All were quite good and the coffee was great. Attentive service, and a really cool vibe. This was possibly the best hotel meal I've ever enjoyed. I'd eat here even if I wasn't staying. read more

Menu here is pretty good and the customer service was great. The location inside the hotel was also very convenient and a pretty setting.

Terrific restaurant! Interesting and inventive menu with vegan choices available. Great poke bowl!

Amazing decor and food! I've been a few times for a post work happy hour and every single appetizer is sooo delicious. Some of the best hummus I've ever had, and the wings and bao buns are must orders! read more

Food was absolutely terrible and overpriced. Steak cooked incorrectly and my husband choked it down anyway because we were there for our daughters bday. Butternut squash soup was so thick it didn't even come off the spoon on its own and tasted more like straight butter that had been microwaved than any kind of squash I've ever had. Service wasn't much better. Waitress was nice but not at all attentive and we were there right at opening, so only 2 other tables of people at the time. We ordered burrata toast for appetizer (decent, but on soggy side) and had to share our plates and utensils with our daughter because they never brought us a 3rd place setting. My husband finally got up and took one from an empty table. Too bad because atmosphere was nice but that is clearly their focus and not the food. read more

Excellent food at reasonable prices and the staff is fantastic! Friendly and attentive, I travel a lot and have not been as impressed with a hotel restaurant as I am with this one. I would come back just for a meal even if I wasn't staying here. read more

I ordered an overpriced cocktail that was not worth the $15 in the suburbs, and my fish tacos and roasted vegetables never came. After asking for an update on my food three times, the fish tacos came when everyone else was already done with dessert. They forgot the side too, so I cancelled that. The taco shells were soggy so I just ate the shrimp. They also overcharged me $11. Manager called offering a coupon for my next visit. Really? I had to pay for a horrible meal, didn't get what I ordered, AND you overcharged me by $11 and you want me to spent more money at your establishment? He also said he'd "have the financial office call me to issue a refund" but of course that never happened. Too bad the service and food don't match its atmosphere because it's a really cute place. read more
