The resort’s signature restaurant brings savory steakhouse fare to Summerlin
Hawthorn Grill, with its perfect balance of crave-worthy steakhouse fare and American classics alongside an extensive wine and cocktail program, is officially open at JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa. Bringing a new level of dining sophistication to the area, Hawthorn Grill features a rich bar area, perfect for an after-work or pre-dinner drink; a large, yet cozy dining room easily accommodating a large family dinner or a romantic date; and an expansive outdoor patio with a vibrant waterfall surrounded by lush foliage. The restaurant is open daily for breakfast, including a signature breakfast buffet, Sunday brunch, dinner, and bar hours.
The opening of Hawthorn Grill marks the first new restaurant in five years, signifying new beginnings at the prestigious Summerlin resort. Chef Joseph Swan, formerly of the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, oversees Hawthorn Grill as executive chef, Christian Umlauf serves as general manager having also come from The Strip at db Brasserie, and JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa’s Executive Pastry Chef Jeremy Choo handles the sweet side of Hawthorn Grill. The team at Blau + Associates, a group that has taken west side dining to a new level, served as consultants on the project.
Chef Swan takes the traditional steakhouse to the next level with offerings such as Classic French Onion Soup with three types of onion, sherry, brioche crouton, gruyere and provolone; Roasted Beets & Burrata with prosciutto, toasted pistachios and arugula; and Sweet & Sticky Lamb Ribs with honey, mint, garlic and lemon as starters. In addition to signature steaks, highlighted entrees include Colorado Lamb T-Bone with chimichurri; a chili-rubbed Smoked Kurobuta Pork Chop; Maine Lobster with Sweet Potato Gnocchi with spaghetti squash, spinach and shellfish butter; and a Slow-Braised Prime Short Rib with parsnip puree, roasted Brussels sprouts and crispy shallots. Sides include Hawthorn Grill’s Mojito Fries, Thick Cut Onion Rings, Cauliflower Gratin and Home-Style Mac and Cheese.
Guests can also indulge their sweet side with a mouth-watering dessert from Chef Choo. Sure to be popular with all palettes are the S’mores Churro with warm ganache, cinnamon sugar churros and toasted marshmallow; the Apple Tart Tatin with candied almonds and salted caramel sauce, served with vanilla bean ice cream; and the traditional Hawthorn Soufflé served with crème Anglaise and whipped cream .
To complement the classic menu, Hawthorn Grill’s bar program features a variety of hand-crafted cocktails from the seasonal Apple Cider Moscow Mule with Absolute Orient Apple Vodka, Apple Cider and Fever Tree Ginger Beer and the signature Hawthorn Mimosa featuring Pama Pomegranate Liqueur, St. Germain, fresh-brewed Hawthorn Tea topped with sparkling wine; to the modern classics like the Spice Market Old Fashioned with Knob Creek Bourbon, Spiced Maple Syrup and Moroccan Bitters or the Russell’s Reserve Barrel Aged Manhattan, barrel-aged in house for a minimum of 14 days. Hawthorn Grill also boasts an extensive wine list with more than 1,100 choices which can be seen on display as guests enter the restaurant.
