Sarah was there for us quite literally every step of the way. We had also used Sarah's coordinating business Without A Hitch and worked with Allison who is now a part of the team at Olio. Their professionalism and kindness went above & beyond. We are so thankful to have found this amazing venue and to have celebrated our wedding there! I cannot recommend Olio enough.

I was a little bummed that their gin martini would be $18. Then I saw my bartender pour 3 shots of…read moreAviation American Gin. Okay, now you've made a drink worth-while! The bartender was a sweet and polite petite thing. My wife decided to order a drink as well, after a little encouragement. Then the bartender went from pretty good, to awesome, when she asked my wife "do you want it pretty, or do you want it strong?" My wife was very happy with her drink. We had reservations about getting drinks here, because it's the movies. Everything is overpriced in theatres. It was nice being able to get a drink for the movie, and this was 'Avengers - Infinity War' which was awesome. Our view of a bar at the movie theatre has changed. Get mixed drinks. The beers are about $6, a little overpriced.

It had a speakeasy vibe and I loved the drinks and decor. It's definitely a great place to swing by before going out and the service was great.

It can be a bit tricky to find but look for the alley to the right of the main restaurant and you should be able to find it!

Great stay at the Hawthorne--had dinner in the tavern, great food and cocktails. Room was clean…read more They said it might be hot and they could bring a fan up but temperature was fine. Great location--right in the center. Two things of note--we stayed on the 6th floor, room 622. The 6th floor is the pet-friendly floor (we didn't have any pets), and my husband opened the door to get ice and there was a mini Doberman pinscher (cute!) desperate to get in our room. Then the owner came around the corner and could not figure out why he wanted to get in our room so bad. My husband went in search of the ice and saw the couple with the dog was staying in the room that would be exactly parallel to ours on the other side. I had a great sleep. Husband did as well except around 3 or so he was awoken to a hard poking several times on his shoulder. He said I was dead asleep and facing away so it was not me. We are both FAR from superstitious and don't believe in ghosts etc, so his mind went to someone broke in--but everything was locked up quite securely. He even checked under the bed! After the fact we found out about its ghost stories with specifically the 6th floor--specifically room 612. Again we were room 622, so does 612 (with the doggie) mirror ours? Other people have also mentioned getting poked as well, which we again didn't see about the hotel till after. So between the desperate dog and the poke, probably nothing--but most creeped out I've been in a while!! (Not so creeped out that we wouldn't go back!)

My family stayed here in May 2024, and overall, we had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, our…read moreexperience with the nighttime employee was a significant exception. The individual working the nighttime shift was consistently rude, harsh, and unprofessional in the way they interacted with guests. I witnessed them speaking loudly, yelling at people, and using inappropriate language. Their overall demeanor made the environment uncomfortable and did not reflect the level of customer service I would expect from this establishment. I had originally planned to return this May because we enjoyed our previous stay so much. However, I was disappointed to discover that this individual is still working there. When I called to ask about room availability and rates for weekends in May, the conversation was extremely frustrating. I asked whether the property was booked every weekend in May. I was asked which dates, and I explained that I was interested in the weekends throughout May rather than one specific date. I was told that they could not look at the entire month at once. I explained that I understood and was simply asking about the weekends in May. I had also just been on the website, which instructed me to call to check availability. Instead of assisting me, the employee became increasingly short with me and repeatedly demanded specific dates in a raised voice. I finally said, "Well, you're a lot of help, aren't you?" The response was, "Yeah," followed by the employee hanging up on me. I understand that employees may be busy and that availability inquiries can take time, but there is no reason for a guest to be spoken to in that manner. Hanging up on a potential returning customer was particularly disappointing. I had every intention of coming back because of how much my family enjoyed our stay in 2024. Unfortunately, this interaction has made me reconsider returning. I hope management will take this feedback seriously and address the customer-service concerns surrounding the nighttime employee.

Attending as a guest to a wedding, I cannot speak to the cost of the venue or dealing with venue staff. There were outside vendors, so I am not aware of who was affiliated with the venue versus the bar, food service, DJ, etc. Every one was polite and accommodating otherwise. Being a beautiful rustic barn, it was a great wedding. My wife and I had a grand time here. The only downside is the lack of parking. There were outside accomodations with Best Western of Danvers for transport to the venue, which worked out well. It is a factor to consider. The house on the property was delightful as well, a Victorian home with a water fountain and finely manicured landscape around the home. The bridal party, to my knowledge, prepared for the wedding here.

i can't believe i haven't made it to kitchen table sooner! wow, what a delightful experience. when…read morei walked in, every single staff member smiled at me. all of them. i've never had that experience before, i was so excited to finally eat here. i love farm-to-table restaurants with local ingredients, it's my favorite. there are 3 different seating areas, i sat at the bar for a solo date. parker is an excellent bartender, and although i came in for the steak tips, i couldn't decide between steak or chicken for my first visit. parker said both are great but between those two, the chicken is his favorite. there was a couple seated next to me that said they come all the time, and anything you order here, will be completely satisfying. i thought they may just be saying that, but truly after my first time here, i believe it wholeheartedly. i ordered their roasted chicken, a marinated, semi-boneless half chicken with sautéed spring spinach & vegetables, and mashed maine potatoes. bread service 9.9/10 roasted chicken 10/10 spring vegetables 10/10 mashed potatoes 9.8/10 but it's better if you do cocktail 10/10 first, the "but it's better if you do," is fantastic. not my typical go-to type of drink, and i was more than pleasantly surprised and loved it. privateer white rum, sour plum liqueur, simple, peychauds with a dehydrated lime. "It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality" - i picked it because of this quote on the menu, and i forgot how much i used to love p!atd. i thought to myself, "i've heard this before somewhere..." i loved the bread & roasted garlic butter, however on a little cutting board it was difficult not to make a mess. i guess that's part of what makes it "kitchen table." it is the perfect, round sourdough loaf with the most delicious butter. the roasted chicken was prepared flawlessly. juicy and tender inside, and a perfect crispy skin, just wow. i absolutely loved the selection of spring vegetables, along with the sherry sauce; sautéed spinach, carrots, mushrooms, and onions. the mashed potatoes were perfect once i added extra salt, extra pepper & whipped it up with more of that garlic butter to my liking, however it was prepared great. i requested it without bacon butter, how it typically comes prepared, and the garlic butter is a great substitute. everything was impeccable. i travel to boston often just for food, because i find that the food in beverly, as a whole, is just not up to par, even with all of the marketing. kitchen table is different than any other restaurant in beverly, and now i don't have to travel so far to get the most delicious meals! i am honestly blown away by how amazing my meal was, and i highly recommend kitchen table to anyone in the north shore, and i'd even say it's completely worth going out of your way for. whether solo, a romantic or friend date, or with a small or large group, kitchen table is here to serve (one of the best meals you've had in a long time). there were some other ladies at the bar that were extremely hospitable and helpful as well, i didn't catch their names this time. i wanted to take some pictures at the end of my meal, at closing time when it had emptied out, and molly encouraged me to take all the pictures i needed. just fantastic service by all of the staff. i couldn't be happier with my first experience at kitchen table. here's to many more! ambiance: 4.9/5 food: 5/5 drinks: 5/5 service: 5/5 kitchen table: 5/5
