Tati provided one of the best dining experiences for our girls night! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. She checked on us throughout the meal, made great recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. Unfortunately, when I was paying the bill, I accidentally hit the thumbs-down option by mistake. It was completely unintentional because Tati absolutely deserved the highest rating possible. She went above and beyond, and her outstanding service was a big part of what made our visit to Thorn so enjoyable. Thank you, Tati, for your kindness, professionalism, and amazing hospitality. We can’t wait to come back and hope to have you as our server again!

This spot is tucked away between a parking garage and a complex apartment building. Really nice spot to come hangout and grab a few drinks. We came by on a Friday and paid 5 bucks for parking for 3 hours at the parking garage next door. I didn't really check around if there was free parking. But we walking a short walk from the parking garage and the spot is very cool looking. They offer indoor sitting or outdoor sitting on both sides or along the side where they have like a bench sitting overlooking the walkway path. It is in priced on the higher end but it's a nice spot to go on a date or to catch up. I did see a family with a child inside. They also had a live DJ playing which was fun. My bestie had the Avicii and I had two ham croquetta. The croquetta was really good. I also had two tito and red bull.

Excellent bartender and drinks! The bartender is extremely professional and very precise in how he prepares the specialty and unique cocktails and drinks on the menu. He is calm and measured. This leads to a very consistent drink quality and taste. This may sound like a small detail, but in my opinion this separates an excellent bar and bartender from the herd of plain and heartless bars with no soul or class. Seeing professionalism, precision, discipline and focus in a bartender and the product he puts out is unique and very special. This is why I have visited this bar and was very happy with the product they serve. I found the food and environment very comfortable and friendly. It's in a beautiful and very safe area. This is a unique one off concept. I will definitely visit this bar again. I found the prices of the drinks and food to be extremely fair. I say this in light of the high quality and consistency of the excellent drinks they pour. Consistency and quality is everything. They provide both and the taste and class of the product shows the discipline in pouring the drinks. 👍👍

Thorn is a nice hidden gem on bird road. The drinks here are always good. This time I had the spicy margarita and it was refreshing. To eat, I had the oysters, which were fresh, and the sriracha truffle wings. The wings were okay. They could have been cooked better and you couldn’t really taste the truffle. The happy hour menu is decent. The ambiance is relaxing and the staff is nice. Now they validate parking which is a plus. Cry baby is no longer there but Thorn has deserts of its own. I would return here for happy hour.
