   This restaurant was amazing; the aesthetics, the music, the food and libations - a definite 10 for 10!

   We enjoyed our visit to Hardware. Very glad I made a reservation as the place was hopping! Great drink selection, particularly craft beers Though we didn’t try any, Hardware offers more bourbons and whiskeys than the Commonwealth of Kentucky. An impressive selection on the menu and throughout the bar. Service was stellar. Very friendly, helpful, and attentive to our needs both at the bar and eventually our table. I had the Bison burger. While enjoyable, I found it lacked flavor and was somewhat bland. But the waffles chips made for a great accompaniment. My wife had the Stir Fry Bowl and my friend got the Chicken Roulade. Both loved them. Look forward to returning in the future.

   Really, really cool concept and loved all the ideas. Terrific variety in the menu. Outstanding liquor and beer selection. Food was pretty solid. Beet appetizer was really good. Octopus appetizer was good. Linguini Ragu and the Fish and Chip was very good. Server was extremely polite, but may have had a few too many tables.

   Hardware has such a super cool farm-to-table vibe — you can feel it as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere is rustic but modern, really warm and inviting. We tried the pork tenderloin, and it was absolutely delicious — cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The drinks were also really impressive, well-crafted and thoughtfully balanced. Our server was very friendly and made the whole experience even better. Hardware is definitely a place worth checking out if you’re looking for amazing food, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere.

   Delicious!!! Serving sizes were slightly small for the price but I recognize that they have quality ingredients and that’s reflected in the cost. Just wouldn’t show up starving because I’d spend too much money!

   It is Easter Sunday. I’m so grateful that Hardware was open so that I didn’t have to cook. I had the house-made ravioli, my husband had the skirt steak. We ordered a side of Brussels sprouts. Our food was delicious, & our waiter very attentive. This isn’t our first visit to Hardware, & we will return. We always enjoy our time here.

    We enjoyed our recent dinner at Hardware… the entrees were delicious as was the goat cheese appetizer. (For the price, the appetizer serving was on the small side.)The taco starter that my husband ordered for his entree was very generous and he thoroughly enjoyed the dish. The pork fried rice was also plentiful and very tasty. My husband always loves the Uncle Joe IPA and I was happy to see that the Chardonnay I ordered was this time a decent pour, which has been the case on past visits. We chose to be seated at a high top but they seemed to be more crowded than I remember and it was very loud in the bar area. To be expected however so next time we will request standard seating. Our server, Margarita was so very friendly and attentive, just a doll. We haven’t been in for awhile but did enjoy this visit so we’ll certainly be back again.
