Jane and Michael Stern have described the restaurant as a "folksy place" with "interesting" wall art and food which "reflects a sophisticated urban palate".

Tall windows provide diners with a view of the comings-and-goings on Hawthorne; and tables are outfitted with well-cushioned chairs conducive to leisurely meals and relaxed conversation." [2]
The menu includes grilled curried chicken, jerked game hen, and Italian wedding cake.
