Hawthorn's Restaurant

Superb Cuisine and excellent service Reviewed By jridg Apr 25, 2008 We happened upon Hawthorn's last night as we were looking for some dinner prior to an event. Hawthorn's front is modern and clean - with excellent staff ready to greet all comers. We had been disappointed in our food choices in San Diego since moving to the area 9 months ago, so we were hoping for something new and exciting. Our expectations were exceeded and then some! Appetizers were superb (we had the Calamari and the Tuna tartar) - and not too large as found in many places. Just the right amount to whet the appetite! Entree's were superb as well. My Stuffed Chicken breast was done to perfect and the accompanying mashed potatoes and local vegetables were wonderful. Topped with an amazing sauce, it was a truly impressive experience. We ended with a wonderful three-flavor chocolate mouse cake that was to die for. Wait staff was attentive without being overbearing and the price was right for a higher end establishment. Highly recommended!
