The restaurant was filled for our entire dinner so I highly suggest making a resy. The bread is dreamy. Super pillowy fluffy. I enjoyed the salmon and asparagus as a side; my husband got the Kansas City strip and unfortunately his was undercooked. He isn't one to send his food back so this ruined the experience for him. I would definitely give Jewel Box another visit, but him, not so much. Check out the bathroom wallpaper too! So fun.

The service is a little slow and I wish parking was easier but that's not their fault. The outdoor seating is nice when the weather is good but not too hot. I came in twice when they had just opened and I was not impressed. The food seemed very mediocre and didn't justify the high price tag. I avoided coming back for years. I'm happy to say that the food quality is much improved and I've enjoyed my last several meals here.

My cousins and I meet every few months to try new restaurants or share old favorites, and this time…read morenone of us had been to Tavern on Kruse -- so it felt like the perfect pick for lunch. We had both done our "menu homework" ahead of time and were joking about how excited we were to try the fried chicken... only to realize it isn't offered on the lunch menu. A bit of a letdown. They were also making menu changes while we were there, so a few other items we wanted weren't available either. The restaurant itself is divided between the bar area and a dining corridor. Based on the reviews we read beforehand, we expected something a bit warmer and more inviting. The vibe felt a little flat for midday. Service was friendly but not very attentive. Our food was dropped off, but no one checked in afterward, which made the experience feel a little disconnected. As for the food -- it was fine. Nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. Overall, it's a "check the box" experience: we've tried it, but it won't land on our recommendation list or be a spot we return to

A Lake O fave! Not a bad meal here for me yet.

We also ordered a classic burger which was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and sat on a pillowy brioche bun. So good! Service was delight, our server was friendly and super informative. OK, so the fries were not as crispy as we'd like but that's not a dealbreaker. The space is great, the upstairs is nice and woody and warm, with a patio overlooking the street giving it a Euro vibe.

BOO! I initially loved this place in my 2014 review. No more…read more We went for Happy Hour. There was only one person who was almost done eating. The bartender (a more mature fellow) was casually talking to someone, not serving him - standing in the restaurant talking. No one acknowledged we were there - or they would come back in a min. There were obviously plenty of people working a gal was putting candles on tables etc - we waited TEN mins to even have someone come over and give us a menu. The bartender seemed irritated at my question of did they have a pinot gris in the happy hour menu. "no, only chardonnay". And, when I asked for a taste - also seemed to irritate him. The food is great here - that is without question, which is why we went. And, it didn't disappoint. However - receiving the bill - there is a weird ADDED $1.25 for a "Hosting Fee"... Hosting Fee??? what the heck is thattttt. (if you google it will tell you that it's for 'helping the employees' basically) What? Then, I had gotten a regular non-premium martini. It says in menu Well Drinks are $8. A regular martini is just their well vodka and should be that. The charge for the martini was $12.00! Never going back - the service was lously. They are padding their prices and I can get much better treatment (and pours) at Five Spice or Tucci!

This is a place I always love visiting whenever I'm in town. They have so many pastries and…read moredesserts to choose from, and it's honestly dangerous walking in without a plan That said, a few items were hit-or-miss. The plain croissant was unfortunately a miss for me--but the bacon & egg papillon was OMG delicious... so much so that I ended up buying three. No regrets!!! The Versaille, Tiramisu, and Marionberry cheesecake were all delish and absolutely worth trying. We also tried the beignet rocher, marionberry cheese croissant, everything-but-the-bagel croissant, peach papillon, and the kouign amann apple--so many fun options, and overall a great stop if you love pastries and want variety. Service was a little hit-or-miss. The first time I visited, the server seemed a bit grumpy - especially while I was placing a larger order, but on my return visit, a different server was noticeably friendlier... maybe because my order was a little smaller

I was incapable of taking pictures to show you how amazing this food was as the party in which I was with was famished at the time because friends had warned us that eating prior to coming to this location would ruin the experience. They were 100% correct as we were able to enjoy all of the menu items.. I will add that the Bar had amazing drinks as well.

We ordered two different toasts and split them between two people. Ordered the braised beef toast (add egg) and the smoked salmon toast with avocado. I preferred the braised beef but both were great.

A group of seven of us (all in late 30s-40s) went to The Hardware Store on Saturday evening at…read moreabout 8 pm. We were visiting family in the area and had two people in our group local to the area who had been there several times in the past. We first went and checked in and were told there was a 10-15 minute wait. The hostess was very kind, took our number and sent us to the upstairs bar to wait for a table. We were greeted by a friendly bartender who took our drink orders (cocktails and wine) and we enjoyed our beverages while chatting by the bar. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with large velvet green booths, all new, updated and well done. The drinks were all great. The downstairs hostess came upstairs to let us know our table was ready, and we paid and went downstairs. So far, we were all really happy with our experience. The prices of the drinks were all around $15-20+ but we were all okay with it given the good service (thus far), high end atmosphere, etc. There were people in there but it was a pretty mellow Saturday evening. We were given a nice large area to sit and thanked the hostess. The waitress came and was clearly a little overwhelmed but took our drink orders. I mentioned a drink my husband had upstairs and asked if I could have it, but was told they had a different menu down here and I needed to order from that menu. I looked it over while the others ordered their drinks, and when she came back to me, I asked if I could go upstairs to order the drink I wanted, and bring it down. She said sure. I put in an order for a couple food items with her, and she left. My brother in law kindly offered to go upstairs and order the drink and was gone for quite a long time. We learned that when he was upstairs, he went to the bar and mentioned I wanted a drink from his bar. The bartender's mood shifted and he said he had 10 drinks ahead of my BIL, and asked him to go downstairs to order. My BIL informed him he was told the downstairs bar didn't have the ingredients, and was sent up here. The bartender was annoyed and asked my BIL to go downstairs for 10 minutes and come back again to order. My BIL replied that he was happy to wait at the bar instead and took a seat. After a long while, the bartender curtly said that my BIL would have to pay for the drink up here, which my BIL of course agreed to. My BIL said it was very uncomfortable and the bartender was being rude (a couple sitting at the bar also mentioned this). We are guessing he was overwhelmed and didn't handle it well. He brought the drink downstairs, no problem. We were all sitting for a while and noticed that my BIL never received the beer he ordered from the waitress downstairs. And after about 45 minutes I asked about the food I had ordered (she hadn't checked in with us at all during that time, and I should mention it was not busy at all - several tables open). The waitress said she forgot to put it in. That was it. No offer to quickly put it in, no offer to comp a drink, no real apology. We asked for the bill and split it between two cards. When we got the receipts and cards back, my husband found they had given both him and his brother (the other payer) copies of my husband's receipt-so he assumed he was double charged. He went to the front to bring this to their attention and explained how he was upset by the poor service throughout the evening. He received a quick response that they had printed the receipt twice (didn't charge twice) and were short staffed that evening. We are all understanding people and my sister in law ran restaurants for years, we all had food service jobs and are sympathetic but really just disappointed in this place. I'm writing this review because the employees there just didn't seem to care about the issues we raised. They had an acoustic artist playing that evening who was phenomenal. If you go there on a different day with different staff, I'm sure you'd have a great time. But for the price and ambiance, we really expected better service.

We ordered an Italian sandwich which was delicious and Mudhoney Remix and a ginger beer. They have NA options and $1 off everything during happy hour (4-6 pm and all day Sunday). The bar has a nice cozy feel to it and a mellow look to it. Parking can be tricky at times like most places in the village, but I was able to find street parking in the residential area a block away. There is also a paid parking lot across the street if you don't want to walk much. Definitely going back again to try more of their drinks.

Checked out the menu and was given a recommendation based on my preferences. Settled on the Mudhoney cocktail... the Chardonnay foam was such a really fun touch! The prices are fair, and the small bites offer great options when you don't need or want a full meal. I ordered a side of pretzels and the bartender comped them because there weren't enough to justify a full portion. Very classy. I like the atmosphere a lot... good lighting, comfy booths, plentiful drink options. And not too loud! Definitely a perfect place for a date or hangout with a trusted friend!
