Best Fun Restaurants in Aurora

Great service, my favorite Jumbo Prawn Butternut Squash Risotto didn’t disappoint, Spanish Coffee delish, and wrapped up with their decadent ricotta doughnuts! Super enjoyable lunch!

After hearing glowing reviews from coworkers, I had to check it out for myself – and I’m so glad I did! I highly recommend making a reservation. We visited on a Friday night and were lucky to have one, as the place was packed! We started with the bread service, which was warm and delicious, and the crab cakes. Just a heads-up—if you're dining with more than two people, definitely order extra crab cakes! They were so tasty, but we each only got one. For our entrees, we chose the prime rib special and the scallops. The scallops were perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the broccoli had a crisp, flavorful touch without being overpowering. The prime rib was massive, cooked to perfection, and practically melted in your mouth—it was so tender you could almost cut it with a butter knife. To top it all off, the key lime pie was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Given the quality of the food, the pricing is very reasonable, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The aesthetic is elegant but has personable touches to the brand. A truly fantastic dining experience!

Love the turkey club and prime rib French dip service was excellent even though they were very busy! Seated right on time and ordered right away.

Decent food. Nice atmosphere though a bit noisy at times. Our server was the best part of the experience. Friendly and quick.

We’ve blown past Parkway Grille for years—made FUN of it, even—why would we go out on a date to a random hotel restaurant with a view of the freeway? But we kept seeing reviews and even articles about the place, so we tried it on a whim. HOLY WOW, we’ve been missing out on an amazing dining experience, right under our noses, this whole time! The service was impeccable—Isaac is absolutely delightful and gave us killer menu suggestions; the other server, Carrie, is SO much fun to talk to—and the drinks! Zhanna is an epic bartender and she personally delivers the most beautiful cocktails to your table! The food was other worldly—my husband’s ribeye was perfect and my salmon was delicious. The appetizers were perfect, dessert was wonderful—the entire bill was really reasonable, and we’re kicking ourselves for skipping over Parkway Grille for so long. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you again for a lovely date night dinner!
