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.

We ere enjoying family from out of town. My father in-law order a dish he did not like and not only did the restaurant replace it with a dish of another choice they did not charge him for his main dish. The food / service especially with the owner was outstanding. One of our favorite restaurants and will continue to go back again. Thank you
