We had reservations for Valentine's evening, but still got seated in a room on a small table next to a fabric wall where the winter wind was making us cold. We kept our coats on. The rest of the restaurant looked warm and inviting. Food was really good, but my Skirt Steak could have used some kind of starch, something small, to balance out the meat flavor.

Everything was amazing, my only comment would be the Manhattan steak did taste very charred, it could be from the coffee rub possibly. All in all though me and my girlfriend love Hardware and will definitely be back again.
