Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Aurora

We were thrilled with our experience!!! Delicious food, (Brisket Pot Pie and Bison Burger were faves) great service and perfect ambiance!!! Our needs were met through the vegetarians and meat eaters in our group. We were very happy with our Hardware experience!! (And house salad for the table is a must)!!!

Whenever I come home and visit from Palm Springs, CA, my go-to place is Hugo's Frog Bar. in downtown Naperville, IL. Today we had Trent as a Server, he was very informative, attentive and hospitable. The crispy fish sliders were excellent and I love that there were so many side choices. I went with the mixed fruit, again, fresh and a great mix. Here's what I like the best - it's the way the Servers play off each other. Water being poured, dishes being picked up, someone serving the meal, coffee refill, etc. They are all in sync. It's really nice to see and the restaurant side was not overly noisy, it was moderate. With my mother wearing hearing aides, it was nice to have a conversation with her and not yell across the table. Great job Hugo's! I'll be back in the spring.

We took our family with elementary school-aged children for dinner after watching Frozen at the Paramount Theater. We had a great table near the holiday tree and our server was extremely pleasant and prompt for the number of guests at dinner. The food options were varied and really tasty - and the kids devoured the mac & cheese and pasta with red sauce. I ordered the Fall Salad, which was delicious.

Service was outstanding as usual. Recommendations were very thoughtful, especially the wine. Learned that the manager has been there 17 years working his way up. This really demonstrates the level of commitment by staff and ownership. The entire staff are engaging and work hard to make you feel at home. It’s an old building but extremely clean. Even the chairs are extremely uncomfortable. Suggestions: I really don’t have any.

I had the cod and Greek rice. It was phenomenal! One of the best cod dishes I've ever had (and I get cod and whitefish often). My husband had the lamb lollipops and he also thought they were the best he's ever had. We had saganaki as an app (delicious) and the French press coffee and baklava for desert. I loved that the baklava was served in 4 thin sliced rounds vs a big square. And French press coffee is unique in that most restaurants do not serve it. My husband couldn't stop talking about how good it was. Everthing about this meal was top notch, including the service. Loved it!
