| - I had really high hopes for this place as one of my friends mentioned this is a good bar in Aurora. The ambiance is there, but the service is non-existent.
The night started out pretty great with all my friends ordering a drink and us catching up after not seeing each other for a while. However, we were in the bar area, and the performer was really, really loud. I couldn't hear what my friend was saying across the table, which defeated the purpose of "catching up". Toning down the volume would have been great, as the performer was actually a really good singer.
We ordered the lobster fritters which I was excited for. They were basically deep-fried lobster claws on a piece of lettuce with a creamy mayo sauce. The sauce was really overpowering and the claws seemed a little too done and rubbery. For $16 for 4 they may have been worth it - if not for the sauce and the overcooked results.
Also, our server disappeared on us throughout the night when my friends wanted to order a second drink. When we were paying our separate bills at the end of the night, however, I was charged for two drinks, when I had specifically only ordered one that night (was limiting myself) and one water. The waitress (who was already wearing her hoodie over her uniform and ready to leave) got into a pretty heated argument with me where she was really stubborn and it ended with a long, uncomfortable hostile glare before she tore my receipt out of my hand and printed a new one with my one drink and two appetizer charges.
I have never experienced service that rude.
(We later realized she had confused me with my friend who had ordered the same drink at the beginning of the night... but really we aren't even the same ethnicity or look a like. I'm sorry if a table of 8 confuses a waitress of 10+ years....)
If you are in the area or just passing through, go somewhere else. Anywhere else.
