| - We decided to play "tourist" and living down the street (literally!), from the Rampart, decided to check it out last Friday evening (we arrived there sometime around (9:30 pm). Before we started to hit the slots, we needed to find a good eatery. We were suggested the Hawthorn Grill and stated that it had a great atmosphere, wonderful food and although a tad bid pricey, well worth it.
I will say we were NOT disappointed! We had a wonderful experience! We were seated in the bar area (where we asked to sit), and were immediately greeted by the bartender who was so friendly and we ended up having some great conversation not only with him, but with another bartender. They immediately got our drink order and food order and what an awesome environment. A group behind us of ladies having a blast, not too crazy or loud and just the perfect setting.
We started out with the ahi tartare which was so yummy! My boyfriend ordered the salmon and I ordered the salad w/grilled chicken. It was DELISH! He also ordered a side of the corn recommended by the bartender and it too, was great. Had a good charred, lime zest flavor to it and very much complimented both our meals! (I threw some in my salad!)...We chatted a bit more with the bartenders finishing up our drinks and were on our way to play some slots!
Overall, what a great experience and we will definitely be back!
