As always our visit to Hardware was a lovely time! We love how family friendly it is there but also feels upscale and cozy! We had the Burrata app and brisket tacos which were fabulous. I always get the Ragu as it is never disappointing and I crave it when I don’t get it. My son absolutely devoured his kids chicken fingers - wish there was an adult version of this plate! Service was wonderful and attentive too!

Our first time to Two Brothers and we loved it! We had several craft beers - outstanding! Food was also outstanding - Chicken Piccata, Prime Rib, and Walleye. Only the burger was disappointing - somewhat dry and the bun, not so good. Service was fantastic. Food came fairly fast even though it was packed on a Saturday night. Overall, highly recommend!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our work Christmas dinner at Ramsey's kitchen. The drinks were delicious along with the appetizers. My favorite was the crab cake and we also did a lobster rolls for an appetizer and those were delicious too. For dinner we had everything from the Smashburger to the beef Wellington, which was cooked to perfection. Favorite dessert was the cheesecake. Our waiter Zach was very attentive and explained everything perfectly..

My husband, son and I dined at Cooper’s hawk for my birthday, the food was excellent. Service was a bit slow. It was quite a while before someone approached our table. One server took our drink order and another took our food order, saying the other one was busy across the room . On the reservation I checked that it was a birthday but nothing was acknowledged by either server. We all enjoyed the evening and will definitely return.
