The bar is inside the Rose Hotel. Very beautiful atmosphere, set up for any occasion, romantic, colleagues, friends... Jonny, the bar tender, was really awesome. Although I wasn't sitting at the bar, he made sure I was doing OK. They have great cocktails and a wide variety of other alcoholic drinks.( whiskey, beer, wine). The food looks amazing. I'll be back to try the menu. The bathroom is very beautiful and clean. They had live music on Saturday when I was there.

Incredible appetizers, amazing decor, fun drinks and great service. We stopped in on our way to the Chicago dogs game with the kids. We shared a few appetizers, and the kids loved their chicken & fries. We will definitely go back for a date night!

Presently staying at another hotel, but when I walked into here... now I want to stay here!!! A hotel with a cool restaurant! The food is delicious, like finger licking good. The smash burger is yummmy! Was browsing the hotel rooms while I was waiting for my smash burger... they look really nice and the prices seem reasonable. By the way they do their french fries just like I make them in my own restaurant... I run a paintball park with a restaurant up in Canada.

We decided to eat here before attending a show and we were NOT disappointed! The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable with attentive upscale service. Since we had a long night ahead, we didn't want to stufd ourselves, so we decided to order 4 appetizers. Let me tell you that the serving sizes are amazing and the appetizers were delicious! The surf and turf nachos can easily be a dinner for one person! The chicken wings were HUGE and flavorful! I wasn't thrilled with the calamari as it was a bit greasy, but the Mediterranean plate was super tasty! We had breakfast the next morning, and I would 100% take a pass on the oatmeal. It was Luke warm water mixed in with instant oatmeal. The Krasinski, brown sugar, and almonds saved the day. We also got a Greek yogurt dish with fresh fruit, honey, cashews, and flax seed that was large enough for 2 of us to share. I'd highly recommend that!

Amazing experience. Great service on a Christmas morning. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming especially being it was a holiday. The best Eggs Benedict I've ever had. Choice or fresh fruit or potatoes. Free parking too! Small dining area but large windows give an airy roominess. There is a bar and a Starbucks menu 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.

We live in the area decided to try The Restaurant(the Thorn) in the hotel. The drinks were delicious! The Calamari Fritter was so Good! Both salads, Beet salad with chicken and the Falafel salad with salad was wonderful! And we were pleasantly surprise they had entertainment (weekend). Dina Bach was Great! We'll be back!

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!
