    We ere enjoying family from out of town. My father in-law order a dish he did not like and not only did the restaurant replace it with a dish of another choice they did not charge him for his main dish. The food / service especially with the owner was outstanding. One of our favorite restaurants and will continue to go back again. Thank you

    Cocktail order was wrong (made old fashions instead of the manhattans we ordered) then they were out of a basic bourbon. Food was fair, not great. Love the space but the food wasn’t as good as previous visit.

    We love Hardware, one of the best bone marrow dishes we’ve ever had! We love the atmosphere and that they grow their own hops and greens.

    One of my absolute favorite restaurants! Lisa , our server never missed a beat. The food was all desperately crafted and delicious. My only regret is I did not save room for dessert.

    My husband & I were celebrating our wedding anniversary today. We were seated in a quiet corner of the restaurant, & greeted with a complementary champagne toast. Our waitress was very attentive & made great menu suggestions. Our food was delicious. We started with the homemade cinnamon bun, which we were told often sells out. We now know why - that bourbon glaze mmmm!!! I had the apple/cheddar/brie grilled cheese with sweet potato chips - excellent! My husband had the spinach/mushroom/potato frittata - also very good! We have dined at Hardware many times & have always enjoyed our meals here. The service today was exceptional - we felt pampered for our anniversary. Thank you❣️

    My wife and I enjoyed this for date night. Food surpassed our expectations. The homemade pasta reminded us of Italy. The Burnt ends were some of the best I ever had. We will be back and don’t say that often.

    The food was delicious! Cool vibes! If this restaurant was closer to my home I would definitely go more often. It is worth the trip. Highly recommend.
