We stopped in on a Tuesday night for winterlicious / my boyfriends birthday. Andrew, our server, was delightful and attentive ! The food was tasty as well with generous portions. Was gifted a free coffee voucher and will definitely be back for lunch! Recommend the desserts - thank you for a lovely evening !

The hostess was extremely hospitable and catered to my every need. I stopped by to get breakfast to go around 10am and only one other customer was there. The food was served fast and was extremely tasty. I used a groupon that was $11 redeemable for $20 of food and was really happy with my purchase. I would have never found this gem if it weren’t for groupon. I don’t know how busy it is at other times of the day or what the service would be like then but I had an ideal experience.

Really enjoyed our meal - food was generally delicious - trout nicely done, weiner schnitzel was overcooked, accompanying vegetables and rice/potatoes nicely done. Protein portions on small side but reflect the reasonable prices. Beverages reasonably priced which is nice to see in Toronto where beverage prices continue to escalate. Service was very attentive and #diverse (another nice change from usual Toronto dining scene). Nice clean modern decor. And by the way, the social enterprise ascpect is a big bonus and great idea.

Best place to work for free forever! It is sad to see how they take advantage of people eager to work, grow and learn but they do not know where to start looking for jobs as they are starting to adapt their lives in Toronto or have special needs. I worked for them in 2016 for 3 months full time, spent all my savings paying for transportation, uniforms and lunches. I heard from the second week of the course that I was "so ready and prepared to work" as well as promises of help to start working with hotels and recognized companies and that never happened. I was only offered to work full time for free. In 3 months of work I only covered about 5 paid food events where we were not offered food or drinks and the payment was minimum wage. But I worked 8 hours, 5 days a week in Hawthorne without receiving any payment, without right to eat anything, and with a break of 15 min maximum. Pops where the only thing we could consume freely. After some weeks of training they believed I was capable enough for me to open or close the restaurant by myself. I did it. For several hours I was in charge of the whole restaurant by myself with 1 or 2 cooks until the trainer or another trainee came. So I was managing the whole front house by myself and not getting paid, or offered food and breaks longer than 15 minutes. I met people with quick learning skills, and at some point all those people were very disappointed with the course. Some of them did not continue the course, others like me, we had already lost so much that we had no choice but to stay and wait to see if at any moment the promises came true. After several months of my experience with this company, I got a job in a restaurant (without the help of is company) and the reality is completely different from what they do in Hawthorne. I get all the food I want to eat for just $4 per day. I get paid tips plus a salary. The training was just 3 days and it was paid. The break is 30 min every 5 hours of work, one hour every 8 hours. I did 2 courses with this company. Front of house and Guest services. I regret so much doing both courses. I would never get that time of my life back again. This is all my personal opinion and experience and I wanted to post it so people are aware of it before starting losing their time. If you are new in Toronto and thinking about starting one of this courses because you feel lost about where to start finding jobs in Toronto, send me a message. I’m not an expert, but I can give you my opinion on the matter and maybe make your life a bit easier.

Personally I have always had great experience here—not to mention the fries are amazing here!!! This time, my review is based mostly on my experience as a sole diner during Winterlicious. I decided after a long stressful day at 1.45 pm (after being in the office at 7am) to go and enjoy lunch. The menu was decent at Hawthorne and it being the last day of Winterlicious I decided why not ☺️. Walking in I was greeted with a friendly smile and was given the option of sitting at a table by the window or the bar, I opted for the bar. The host and the bartender were very friendly and attentive. A bit awkward (I assume the host was quite new) but with good intentions. The Kale salad I ordered was quite large but delicious. I ate about half and left it there, took some time but the host/waiter realized I was not going to finish it and asked if I wanted to keep working on it or clear it—I told him I would work on it with my main and he said Ok! The main was brought out promptly thereafter, burger and fries which was a huge portion. I ended up packing half the burger, half the fries and the rest of my salad in a take out box (and boy was it still delicious for that nights’ dinner) ☺️. The dessert I tried was a coconut bread pudding which was alright—I was never a fan of bread pudding but love coconut. All in all I wasn incredibly full and had a lovely experience. $23 was well spent! Hawthorne is a social enterprise of Hospitality Workers Training Centre (HWTC), a non-profit organization based on a sectoral workforce development approach. It was created as a partnership between the Hospitality Workers’ union (UNITE HERE Local 75) and major hotels in Toronto and modeled on the Culinary Training Academy of Las Vegas. HWTC works with Toronto’s hospitality and food service employers, existing workers and new entrants in need of work to train, support and strengthen the industry’s valued workforce. In 2015, HWTC trained 300 participants at Hawthorne and other industry partner facilities, including unemployed youth and those in receipt of Ontario Disability Supports and Ontario Works. Out of these trainees, 80% were successfully placed in jobs in the hospitality industry of Toronto within the same year.
