Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in North Aurora – 2024

An absolutely incredible experience overall. The ambiance is certainly romantic enough, but this is a VERY busy place, so expect a fair amount of commotion. Despite how busy it was, I felt that we were served quickly and the server was pleasant and attentive. Martinis are made expertly and strong. Spring roll appetizer was bright and refreshing Harvest duck was amazing. It was cooked perfectly and went very well.with the grapes, potatoes and shredded brussel sprouts. It's on the pricey side, but well worth the money considering the quality of the food and service.

First time dining. We were in the area and decided to try. Great atmosphere, the outside patio, and the fireplace tower inside. The service was excellent, and the food was equally so as well. A must return when we're in the area.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this restaurant! Let me start at the beginning! When my boyfriend and I first came here on our 1 year anniversary we were amazed at how the food was! We said, “is this a fluke, this can’t be this good”?? Then coming back for a second time having different things and realizing it was still “THAT GOOD”! Now this last time was for our second anniversary and I know 2 years isn’t really the longest time and it definitely didn’t feel like it in the best of ways. But, again the food, drinks, and service at this restaurant is AMAZING!!!!!! We absolutely love this restaurant, the ambience, the food, the drinks!! Everything!!!! From the outside we thought, “hmm I dunno”.. but I promise you all!!!! It will not disappoint you! ❤️ Turf room you have made us loyal customers and I appreciate everything you guys are doing keep up the fabulous work! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! Thank you for being the diamond in the rough!!!

This was such an incredible experience. The ambiance walking in was so amazing. It was darker in there and had such knowledgeable staff. Our waiter recommended everything we had and we were so impressed. Such a great experience. We will return!

I really wanted to like this place, as it’s a short drive from home, but unfortunately the food is under par in comparison to its presentation and price, it just doesn’t meet expectations. Not one in our party of five found any of the food to be especially good, and in fact, one of the appetizers should have been sent back: the poutine. The sausage in the poutine was so salty, it ruined the dish and quite honestly, we should have sent it back, it was nearly inedible. As I am just one guy, and I didn’t try everything, I won’t say anything about food I did not personally eat, but I will say that we unanimously agreed that we would not come back. The “Fish and Chip” had no chips, as it was just a bed of miniature baked potatoes, as you can see in the photo. This dish was underwhelming and at $30, the price ruined things, if it had been $20, I wouldn’t complain about it. It was just very basic, not at all special. My favorite thing, after having tried the bison burger, fish and chip entree, and the poutine, ended up being the brisket tacos. While the tacos were not amazing, they really tasted like something an abuela would feed you at a family barbecue, I would have been happy eating it for $18 as my entree, but it didn’t really hit the spot at a restaurant, similar to everything else. Pretty much every whiskey was over $10 an oz. A standard shot is 1.5oz, so you’re set up to feel like you’ve been shorted. The beer appears to me to be the main thing this place has going for it besides the atmosphere, which, I will not lie, is chill but hipsteresque. The way they brag about saving rainwater to use on greens that they grow themselves, I like it, it’s a nice thought, but it really only complements the vibe I get from this place, which is a pretentious one. They have great presentation, and the place is beautiful, but the prices are high and the quality of the food is not good enough to justify that. Maybe we are just not the demographic that this establishment is meant to appeal to. Personally, I see this as a place where you grab a few beers and move on somewhere else for food and more drinks. Unfortunately, my recommendation is that if you are just coming for the food, I would pass on this place.

Hardware is an amazing place to go to have some amazing food, learn about gastropub, and enjoy some delicious drinks. Speaking of delicious drinks the drink menu is a sight to behold with so many different options to choose from! Next we picked the appetizer we had the octopus with sweet potatoes, green beans and an egg white aioli on top! When I tell you that this is mouth watering good!! The flavors and textures in this dish work so well together it was delicious and I have only had octopus one other time the chef here did it right! Next, we got our entrees. I had the Linguini Ragu pictured here (apologies not the best lighting) this dish is one of the best linguini I have ever had. This linguini is cooked to perfection and the duck and sauce and everything was so flavorful I loved it!!! My boyfriend got the chicken pot pie also pictured here I did have a bite and I really enjoyed the flavor and I could taste all the ingredients! He enjoyed it once it cooled a bit! We enjoyed this amazing meal in September and kept meaning to write a review, and as you can see I did not forget because the experience left an impression! We cannot wait to go back and enjoy it all over again! Thank you Hardware for all you guys do! ❤️
