The new Hawthorn Grill in the Las Vegas JW Marriott exceeded all of our expectations! We were greeted by live music in the stylish new lounge. The hostesses and the maître d' were all very nice as they welcomed us into the restaurant.
We ordered EVERYTHING on the menu . . . The fresh shrimp with the charred tomato cocktail sauce had great flavor, the mussels were amazing, and the sweet and sticky lamb ribs are a must try! But don't forget to order a side of the mojito fries with the roasted poblano aioli.
For our mains, the table ordered the smoked Kurobuta pork chop, the pan seared diver scallops, the braised short rib, and the 24 oz. bone in rib eye. We shared and loved everything on the table!
For dessert, we had to try the chocolate soufflé! It was absolutely worth the wait. We also had the caramelized banana split sundae with vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate ganache, and house-made peanut brittle - all I can say is Wow!
We will definitely be back!
