My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here last night after making reservations on OpenTable. We…read morewere warmly greeted by the host who acknowledged our event and seated us in the back overlooking the brew room, very nice. It was my first visit to your restaurant though my wife has been here before with friends. Chad was our server. He pleasantly explained the drink and dining menus and took good care of us all evening. My bride had her favorite drink, The French Martini, and you guys nailed it for her! I was very happy with the 2025 Pils. Dinner was amazing, Skirt steak for her, brisket for me with Yukon potatoes following salads for both of us. The quality and taste of the food was great and makes us want to come back and sample other dishes. We received great service and a nice complimentary glass of champagne (with Ho-Ho's) to finish our celebration. At the end of the evening we received a big surprise when Chad came over with news that we had no bill to pay as my wife's daughter and her husband had secretly called to pay the tab! So thoughtful of them to treat us and to top off a memorable meal and milestone in our lives.

Went to Hardware in North Aurora and came away with mixed feelings…read more The good: ambiance is great and the drinks were on point. Had the Marilyn saison and a solid dark beer. Bar program is strong. The short rib pot pie was a straight up winner. Rich, comforting, and not trying to be anything other than good food done right. The bone marrow lost me. Cooked well, but buried under too many microgreens and then oddly topped with tortilla chip strips. No smokiness either. It felt more confused than cohesive. Where it really started to miss was the overall approach. A lot of "the chef intends this..." type explanations. It ends up feeling like the food insists upon itself instead of just letting you enjoy it. That's the bigger issue. This place exists in a space where I don't think most people want to meet it. Not casual enough to relax, not refined enough to justify the performance. Bottom line: good drinks, great pot pie, but the experience tries a little too hard.

I brought my snowblower in for service. The engine started shutting off and would not stay running…read more When I picked up the snowblower I noticed part of the upper housing had cracked off and was missing. There is also broken plastic pieces in the front lower shroud. I'm not sure what was supposed to be there. The snowblower was dragging and scraping the ground as I was wheeling it to the car. After using it a couple months later (first snow greater than a dusting) the snowblower is no longer self propelled and is scraping the cement now . I had a wonderful self propelled snow blower before I brought it to them. Now it is not usable. I am a senior and don't have the strength to push this machine uphill while it's dragging on the cement. In order to finish my driveway I had to walk it uphill and only snowblower going downhill because it would get stuck on the cement . I also had asked for new paddles and was told it did not need new paddles. But 3 years ago when they serviced it they recommended new paddles. I will never bring my snowblower here again. I also had a broken choke handle. It was obviously broken I had a twist tie on it to make it usable. They did not fix that either . Yes they fixed the engine problem somewhat. It does not die on me but it does not run as strong as it did before their repair.

It looks like they have a curbside pickup option, which I absolutely would have taken if I'd had my child with me but went inside to pick up. They have some sort of fall event here that is apparently super popular--tickets sold out this year--so I'm looking forward to visiting that later this year.

The service that I get at Olson's Ace hardware in Park Ridge is hands down the best and the reason…read morethat I visits Ace hardware before looking at the competition. Someone is always willing to take the time to help me find the odd screw that I need or the best fertilizer (even if it is not most expense that they offer). Best of all they have an in-house designer (Celeste M. Garvey) who is amazing and will help you select the right color combination, wallpaper or drapes. This service is completely free to the consumer. With this level of service, it is hard to image going anywhere else.

Their sump pump parts and plumbing sections are great. They've rekeyed my locks before. Some of the sales assistants know more than others but at least one of them always has the answer.

The staff is knowledgeable and willing to help however they can. They actually pick up their phone so you can call in advance to confirm they have what you need. Anytime I need something for a home repair I instantly think of Kim's Hardware. They have the majority of what you need for basic repairs. They also have a large selection of luggage (big and small). They even offer window screen repair services. I needed to get my screens replaced for a few years and I finally visited Kim's Hardware and they were able to make the repairs in a few days. They also made sure the screen color remained the approved HOA color. My screen repair was reasonably priced.

I'm not much a fan of Home Depot. However, when I bought a play structure for my child which was…read morealready assembled I needed to rent a truck in order to transport it. The rental process was pretty easy to do online, though it was frustrating that when I didn't rent it in time and it pushed my rental back an hour, I wasn't able to rent it for the time needed when I called (I think it's unlikely that it was rented in the few minutes before I made the reservation; rather, the hour changed and that pushed the earliest rental time back). It took about 10 minutes to check the van out. You have to return it with a full taken of gas or you'll be charged like $10 per gallon.
