I’m not one to post reviews but I was so disappointed in our visit on Boxing Day that it just needs to be shared. We visited the restaurant at roughly 5pm on Boxing Day only because it was there or the family restaurant and I wanted some spinach dip. Our hostess and waitress were both great, polite and friendly, but the food… oh my god the food - and not in a good way. The spinach dip should’ve been the first warning. The dip itself was very tasty, hot, everything you’d want but the bread it comes with was burnt and so hard you could barely chew it and threw off the taste of everything, so thankfully it also came with normal chips to help enjoy. Our main courses though were the real kicker here. My partner ordered the nacho fries, the main component being French fries rather than chips and they were so over cooked it made his entire dish taste like burnt fries. I myself ordered the chicken Caesar wrap and only about 1/3 of the wrap had any chicken in it, the rest was filled with a sour lettuce soaked in too much dressing which was disappointing, but I upgraded my fries to the garlic parmesan fries that normally come with the steak frites and I was curious what they’d be like and they also were so beyond overcooked it was nearly inedible and where was the garlic parm? They got doused in some parmesan cheese but it had all fallen under the fries, but nothing could’ve truly saved the fries from being overcooked.

Overall this meal was absolutely NOT worth the $75 it cost me (before the tip) and just reassured me on why I haven’t been to hardstones in a very long time and probably will not be back. We paid and kept the disappointment to ourselves because of the holiday, but it still comes up in conversation on how much of a waste it was when neither of us could even finish our plates.
