Hawthorne & Wood - Restaurant in Chapel Hill - 3140 Environ Way, USA

I just love Hawthorne & Wood. We've been here about 4 times now and every time we are just so satisfied. The environment is wonderful and the food is just beyond our expectations every time. Their cocktails are fantastic. And if you don't know what to order the staff is incredibly knowledgeable on what spirits they have behind the bar and what goes into their cocktails. I just don't have a single negative critique, they are just doing everything above standard. They should be proud of how great they are!

From the first greeting to the last bite, this was an exceptional restaurant experience. We had the tasting menu, for which our server, Jolly, provided a curated wine pairing. Every dish was expertly prepared, and the wine pairings were excellently selected from their extensively curated collection. This is what a fine dining experience in the 21st century should be. Book your next dining experience at Hawthorne & Wood. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic. Our waiter was extremely attentive and the options were delicious. Our group of four ate all different plates, and we loved what we had. I'm visiting from another state, but if I were to get another chance to make it here, I would do so again. Conveniently located right next to a parking garage too, so it's accessible to people unfamiliar with the area.

The bar tender was super knowledgeable and tweaked our drinks to perfection. The food was delicious. My wife started with the prosciutto and duck breast which was very flavorful and I had the salad which was incredibly tasty. We both had the beef tenderloin and loved it. We had panacota for desert but I wouldn't recommend it. The panacota itself was overpowered by the nuts and the caramel on top. Besides that little hick up everything was perfect.

We had a reservation, and honestly it’s a real good place to go to whether you’re out of town or wanting a date out and you’re from chapel hill. Cozy Atmosphere, European Kitchen, Great Service, Lovely Drinks, and the most importantly PHENOMENAL FOOD. I know the menu changes often and if I can do it I’ll come back for when the menu is different (when I’m in town that is). It was a great time, and I thoroughly enjoyed the food the tar tar was amazing! If you want a good time overall, I highly recommend Hawthorne and Wood.

This spot is amazing. We ordered all the apps and a few small plates. Perfect to share. While everything was amazing, I am still thinking about the pork belly and crab appetizer the next day. Our waiter was also amazing and made sure we had everything we needed.

My husband and I went to H&W last night to celebrate my 40th birthday. It was a great experience. We had the shrimp and pork apps and the steak and flounder entrees along with a couple cocktails, the b.o.m being my favorite. Every bite and sip was delicious. In addition to the great food experience, the environment, music and service were equally wonderful. Fitz, our waiter, was warm and easy to engage with and gave excellent recommendations. And to top it all off, we were treated to a complimentary chocolate mousse and cherry dessert. Thank you H&W for making this girl so happy on her birthday!❤️

This place was INCREDIBLE. Not only was the food amazing but the service is OUTSTANDING. Aaron helped us and made it such an incredible experience. They even change your plate and silverware between each course and plan out your meal so courses are served one at a time. Our server, Aaron, recommended the General Tso Cauliflower and oh my goodness, you'd never know it was cauliflower! I also thoroughly enjoyed the cheese board and salad. We had this delicious little ice cream sandwich dessert made with lychee and sesame seeds. The flavors were just so delectable. All the fruit was SO fresh. They hand squeeze all their juices and I had two very fresh mocktails. They even brought us a plate with a candle and free little dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. I can't say enough great things. Aaron also mentioned they are opening a French bistro soon across the street in the same complex, can't wait!
