The charcuterie board was uninteresting and low quality. The meats seemed like they were from Costco and so did the cheese. I ordered a flat iron steak medium rare but it was overdone with no pink at all. The service was good, professional and attentive. The restaurant is beautiful and a nice place for a romantic meal.

Our server Noemie was great—attentive, but gave us our privacy. Everything else was just fine. The potatoes were definitely just sitting under a heat lamp for an hour. Hollandaise was separating. Coffee was watery. Not to mention the furniture is falling apart. I was sorry to have this experience, since I’ve heard great things.

My wife and I second time to flute Friday but our first time with the whole family. Another amazing night with champagne all night and the Hawthorn signature experience in the bar area with live music. Service was attentive and made sure as soon as our champagne was done, another glass was ready. Food was on point but family unable to finish it all and had to take home with no issues Live music was enjoyable and entertaining Definitely be back again on flute Fridays
