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.

So the manager yells and vents his frustration of how busy he is to the employees which makes them feel comfortable with talking to customers crazy SHIDDDD you got me fucked up. I still spent my hard earned dollar with them because I want to see them flourish but management need an attitude adjustment. I came in at 11:30 and didn't leave until 12:05 just for 4 funky keys which they only completed 3. The register lady was flooded with a line of customers and no one else was willing to jump in and help. They need that Chic fil-a hospitality where every member on the crew is willing to help. Needless to say the ppl in the community deserve better so until then I'll just go back to the big box stores where they really don't give a shit about you but at least your treated better

I needed a new oven. I admit I am probably not as thorough as I should be when I am choosing a…read moremodel. I got it on Tuesday, December 30. I was pretty busy on December 31 & January 1 because of the holiday. I was barely home. But on January 2, while I was home and nursing a hangover, I looked over at my new oven and thought that the display was rather small. I walked over to it and did not see a clean button. So I got the instructions out to find out how to start the self cleaning function. This was $1000 oven, and there is no self cleaning function!!?? I had no idea they even made ovens nowadays that don't clean themselves. So I called the 800 number, and long story short they told me since it was past 48 hours, and I did not use a Lowe's credit card, and because it was installed, I am stuck with the oven I bought. I repeated to the rep on the phone, you're telling me that the oven I just bought and was delivered on December 30, three days ago, while the past two days have been a holiday is not returnable and there's nothing you can do? And he said yes, there is nothing I can do and said if he did start an exchange, he would potentially lose his job. So we ended the call, and I just accepted that I'm going to have to get down on my hands and knees and clean this oven like it's 1970. The installation guys did not use the gas piping that was purchased with the oven because they said mine was sufficient, so they told me I could take it back to the store for a refund. So I did. And when I mentioned to the girl at the return counter that I was shocked this oven did not have a cleaning function and I tried to return it, but was rejected, she said, let me get my manager for you. Within 15 minutes, Sara arranged delivery for a similar oven and also arranged for the one I purchased to be picked up. She didn't charge me a restocking fee. She didn't charge me another delivery fee. I just paid the difference for the oven which was about $70. When I called Lowe's customer service, they did not suggest that I check with my local store. I'm so glad that I did. I honestly didn't think it was going to make a difference, but I figured the worst they could say was no. And now I have a very similar oven that cleans itself. The rest is in the dishwasher! Thank you, Sara and thank you to Lowe's for making me a very happy girl.

I asked the guy standing by the register for one and he walked me over to them. The heavy duty one? he asked. No, I said, the light-duty version. He took it from the hanger and held it out toward me. Then I saw the price hanging right there in front of us both. SIX DOLLARS AND, LIKE, NINTY-SEVEN CENTS! For ONE?! (Disregard the website price, totally. In-store it's $6.97!) Wait, WHAT?! I told him there was NO WAY I would pay that much! and I left. I drove directly to a Home Depot. I bought TWO of them for $2.97 EACH! Even after taxes, I paid less for two than they wanted for just one and that's BEFORE taxes! On the drive back home, I promised myself I would NOT be installing one of those new switches until I first posted this review. Promise made, promise kept! Time to install my $2.97 switch now!
