   Came here to celebrate with my girlfriend and had one of the best meals we’d ever had. The quality of the food was impeccable and for very reasonable value considering what you get. The service was warm and prompt but not intrusive and the area around Kew was lovely to explore afterwards. Would highly recommend a visit! Will be dreaming of the soufflé

   We went for dinner on a Friday [15/12/2023] and, despite the restaurant ambiance and our seating were pleasant, our overall dining experience was disappointing. They only had a Christmas menu, which felt quite limited. The service, though friendly, was notably slow and lacked attentiveness - our pre-dinner cocktails arrived late, and there was no follow-up for additional drinks or any other preferences after we finished our meal. Regarding the food, it was a mixed bag. The Cured Orkney Scallops and Sea Bream dish didn't quite hit the mark - the combination of flavours wasn't appealing, and the lack of distinction between the scallops and sea bream was disappointing. The horseradish granita tasted of nothing, just a spoonful of cold sludge; the citrus dressing was unimpressive and lacked in flavour too. The Fillet of 28 Day Aged Hereford had earthy flavours that didn't suit our taste, and the beef lacked the expected taste profile. Presentation-wise, it also left much to be desired. However, the Valrhona 70% Chocolate Souffle with Pistachio Ice Cream was a highlight, offering a satisfying end to the meal. Also, they had an extensive wine list - we had a nice bottle of Slovakian red. Ultimately, despite the pleasant atmosphere and seating, the overall experience failed to meet our expectations. We won't be in a rush to revisit.

   Perfection - the food, drinks, service, the full experience. And great value for money for what you get. It’s our second time here since we moved to Kew a few months ago, but Hawthorn is worth a traipse across London. From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed so warmly. The bread and butter, the amuse bouche, every detail around the meal feels so right. The flavours and textures of every dish we’ve tried have been flawless, and the wine recommendations have been spot on. Thank you for the perfect anniversary dinner, we can’t wait to come back again.

   The Glasshouse was our go-to for birthdays so we were sad when it closed. However it's spiritual sister is Hawthorn and if anything it's even better. The two of us always order different dishes for each course, swapping half way through so we can taste as many as possible – and every one was uniquely delicious. The staff too are charming, welcoming and helpful. We'll be back.

   Hawthorn is 100% your new go-to spot in Kew/Richmond. For some background, everyone who I was with for dinner had previously dined at the Glasshouse at some point in their lives, so when we all arrived for dinner at Hawthorn, we were intrigued about how it would compare… AND WOW our expectations were blown out of the water. Not only did we each quite literally lick the plates clean, but we all felt that each course was complex yet also felt so simple and just plain delicious. We heard that the restaurant just opened a couple of weeks ago, but the food tasted as if the chefs have been cooking together for years. Whether you are there for lunch or dinner, either set menu is incredibly well priced (especially when the food quality is at this level). The sommelier is incredible, suggesting perfect pairings for each course to accommodate every taste bud or finding a bottle that works with a table of diners who ordered a mixture of seafood and meat mains! Conveniently it’s also right next to Kew Gardens station or a short walk from Richmond station - very easy to get to and definitely worth a trip. What an amazing new restaurant in Kew!

   Had a really wonderful lunch! This is a real gem of a restaurant, a tiny walk from Kew station; which is so convenient for those of us who fancy a couple of glasses of wine with our meal, although I did notice there is parking right outside too. It's been newly opened in what used to be the lovely Michelin * 'The Glasshouse' and if they keep this standard I'm certain they'll get a star (s) very soon. I went with a group of family and friends and we all had a great time. The attention to detail is exactly what you'd expect from a fine dining experience but with an extremely reasonable price tag. Fantastic Wine list too. The food was wonderful, innovative, delicious and beautifully presented from the moment we received our complimentary canapes to the last morsel of petit fours. I did look around the dining room which was full and noticed that there was clean plates all round and that people were taking there time, really savouring the experience and having a really good time. I will definitely be going again in the very near future with other friends.
