    This is about our 10th time going back to this restaurant we subscribe to the Paramont theater the Copeley theater and their new theater and whenever we go to a play all the way from Frankfurt an hour away we go to eat at this place. We always share their bourbon, salmon, which comes with great rice And string beans and we order an extra salad and we share everything and then we share a piece of their chocolate cake for dessert and they have without a doubt the best coffee in Aurora so this is an easy five star tonight our server was named Jessica and she was terrific sweet quick and just helpful in every way The ambience of this place is terrific. It’s over 100 years old and it’s a true round house I understand there’s only two of them left in the United States. Walter Payton made it into a great restaurant and I guess these guys bought it from them.

    Ramsey’s Kitchen in Naperville has a wonderful ambiance. The layout is especially great to be able to watch the food come out of the kitchen. Beef Wellington looked amazing in the window. All the staff was curious and helpful. Knowledgeable about the menu. We got the Crab Cake, The Filet, Scallops, Brussel sprouts, and Apple Blackberry Crumble. The crab was so fresh, Filet cooked and seasoned perfectly, Scallions had a nice subtle heat to them, we always love the crunchy brussel sprouts, and the Apple blackberry crumble was warm, sweet and perfect with the ice cream.

    Really enjoyed our valentines dinner at Basils. We were seated on time and our server was attentive. Service was a little slow but this was not a problem as we were not in a hurry and didn’t want to feel rushed. Saganaki appetizer, two orders of lollipop lamb chops and lemon chicken were all excellent. Cocktails were good as well. Thank you for another great dinner.

    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.
