Service is outstanding as is the beverage selection. Food was good, but unfortunately was lukewarm in temperature. Pricing seemed a bit on the expensive side.

Our Thanksgiving tradition for a number of years now has been to visit Hardware. Food is great, and their beers are really good! Our server, Margarita, was fantastic! It was a great way for the two of us to celebrate the holiday!

We ordered the Thanksgiving special. Was slightly disappointed with the turkey it was more of a processed turkey not a turkey breast. The side dishes were delicious, the spiced bread pudding dessert was fabulous and the cocktails were spot on. The staff was as usual very attentive.
