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.

Bought many things here over the years. We walked in and was immediately recognized by "thebiglebowski." Still the same and the hardware store is the same with a plethora of bolts, nails, building materials, collapsable buckets, and of course a very nice candy counter! It is great that some things #neverchange.

We usually have to wait a while for the right people to be available or to arrive & help. The employee is much more extra valuable if cross trained in my opinion. The price/value of sharpening went up to $6 ish per knife.

Darn, I really want to shop local and support small businesses! I could have driven to Menards, but…read moreI chose to come here tonight to pick up garden supplies like coir and grass seed as well as deck cleaner for a project I'd hoped to start tonight. Both staffers in the aisles were helpful and friendly, pointed me in the right direction for what I needed. I headed to check out and the total should have come to about $75 minus the two sales which were advertised on the shelf: $5 off one of the grass seeds if you are an Ace member (we are) and $6 off another grass seed, also need to be a member. I entered my ACE number and the clerk confirmed it. I should have saved $11 tonight, but the advertised discount didn't show up at the register, full price only. I asked the clerk and I pointed to the two sales tags hanging in front of the products on the shelf. She called the manager and explained that the sales were not showing up, but then we realized it is still August 30th and the sales tags' say "September". So the manager said I would have to COME BACK in two days if I wanted to get the sales price, even though the tags on the shelf advertised the sale. I suggest they don't put up the September sales tags until it is actually September if they are not going to honor the prices that are being advertised. This will most likely happen to the customers tomorrow as well, August 31st. I don't fault the clerk at all. She tried her best to request that I get the sales price, but the manager was firm. Nope, come back in September. What the heck? I will never come back, actually. I will keep driving the 7 miles out to Menards where they honor the prices they advertise.

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.

I've painted my whole house, including the basement and outdoor area, too! When I'm having a tough day, a visit to the Menards on North Avenue is so comforting. Especially if it's one of their "11% back mail in rebate" days or if I have rebate cash to spend!! Love the staff here, too.

I'm just wondering was it that hard to ask for another employee to help a couple customers to make a copy of some keys???? Be for real, she didn't even have to move a single toe and she had an attitude rolling her eyes. I felt bad for my dad honestly . :( he was so kind. The lady was so rude. I never got her name because I honestly didn't even want to speak with her. Then the guy that came to help us I told him that lady right there had an attitude and if she hates her job that much then quit instead of taking it out on ur customers and instantly he tried to go against what I was saying and said , "oh she didn't have an attitude " when clearly, she had an attitude and he has no say because he wasn't even there to see her rolling her eyes. cmon that shit was bogus be fr. Never again.
