   It is Easter Sunday. I’m so grateful that Hardware was open so that I didn’t have to cook. I had the house-made ravioli, my husband had the skirt steak. We ordered a side of Brussels sprouts. Our food was delicious, & our waiter very attentive. This isn’t our first visit to Hardware, & we will return. We always enjoy our time here.

   We enjoyed our recent dinner at Hardware… the entrees were delicious as was the goat cheese appetizer. (For the price, the appetizer serving was on the small side.)The taco starter that my husband ordered for his entree was very generous and he thoroughly enjoyed the dish. The pork fried rice was also plentiful and very tasty. My husband always loves the Uncle Joe IPA and I was happy to see that the Chardonnay I ordered was this time a decent pour, which has been the case on past visits. We chose to be seated at a high top but they seemed to be more crowded than I remember and it was very loud in the bar area. To be expected however so next time we will request standard seating. Our server, Margarita was so very friendly and attentive, just a doll. We haven’t been in for awhile but did enjoy this visit so we’ll certainly be back again.

   Very enjoyable dinner. Food is unique (fried brussel sprouts) and delicious. Tried a charcuterie board, which was quite large with a large variety of meats, cheeses, nuts, pickled vegetables and good toppings. The pork tenderloin was very good and accompanied by a mix of potatoes and vegetables. We also tried the Bison Burger (bison and pork belly patties) which was very large and tasty with yukon potatoes. Of course, you can't leave without trying a "Ho-Ho" for dessert (which takes a traditional item and infuses it with a whiskey cream filling). And if you enjoy a good drink, they had a very extensive array of 'top-shelf' whiskeys and bourbons. However they also had some very good and creative cocktail mixes. Serving staff was excellent and our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and full of good recommendations. Very much recommend.

   We dine here frequently. Hardware consistently exceeds our expectations. The salads are the best we’ve ever had. The grilled cheeses are incomparable. All the management and waitstaff are knowledgeable, pleasant, and efficient. There aren’t enough stars to appropriately rate this restaurant!

   Dinner and appetizers were exceptional. Desserts were dry and over priced for the size…. Ambiance is cozy yet lively. Great vibe for a night out.
