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.

This is a nice bike shop with a lot of interesting accessories. I was stopping in because the bike…read moreshop in DeKalb closed, and I was in need of a new pump since my Twister broke a fitting on the gauge, and the company doesn't support it anymore. The shop owner had two different pumps, and took the time to explain what the best one was and why. I opted for the better pump with the steel barrel, and the ability to fill standard and Presti valves without the need for an adapter assembly - all in one. It has an analog (needle) gauge, which is fine with me - the other broke one had a digital gauge, and it wasn't working consistently or well. Good advice from the owner. I was looking around for something else. I usually wear a dry-fit shirt for riding, but that rides up and I get mud in the itchy places. He had some nice bike jerseys for the local club, and I tried on two of them. The large was too tight, but the extra large was just right, looked good, and no more flapping in the wind. The price was reasonable and equivalent (in fact less) than some I'd shopped when riding in Madison. This shop has a TON of hardware - you can get gears, crank arms, clusters, brakes, everything, plus has a complete shop. All local, put your hands on it, and get support. So support this local business. Go buy something there.

Just Wow! I struggle to find the words to adequately express my sincere gratitude for Benson Stone…read moreCompany. All of the employees, from sweet Lori behind emails and calls, thoughtful Bill's time and response, to River looking into past files, to Tyler helping me schedule our floor magician, Dave. What a team of dedicated home professionals! In short, I had to have floorboards removed in random spots- I was distraught and hesitant, thinking the floors integrity would be ruined. Dave, their flooring specialist is one of the kindest, most sincere people you will ever meet. The work he did was nothing short of perfection. He took his time, and ensured quality work. You would never tell my beautiful floors were worked on! Just flawless work. I have personally called this company for flooring, bathroom needs and questions - they go out of their way to problem solve and provide guidance! Their thoughtful response makes you feel like part of the Benson family. Any and all future home renovations will be through Benson Stone Company. They stand behind their work and have the most accommodating, knowledgeable and kind staff! I can not recommend them enough! I am posting this glowing review on every site because I want everyone to know what a great experience we had!
