The Aardvark - Orlando

Unfortunately, this restaurant and service has changed. This is one of our favorite spots. A funny, spunky, multicolored hairy Seger usually helps us and is always hospitable and warm. We went today and brought our friends to show our Fave. Our server that helped us was new and understandable and unfortunately not very good (missing ice in drink, missed the orders of half our guests, misunderstood orders and completely forgotten to bring orders). When I approached another server, hoping that she was anger, she quickly came by to help and get drinks and took away this misunderstood order. When the check came, they left the wrong food at the check. I left the table discreetly to not alert our friends and ask another server when it was the manager and when the meal on the check was a mistake. She's always cut me off, not ready to hear me. She said the check was basically as he should be. Then it accused me every time I got in. As confused as I have never complained or used in the past. I said I had never been with her before, and she told me I was lying. She continued, I complained all the time and wants free meals. The server was extremely upset and made me really uncomfortable and continued to complain about me with other staff in front of our table. We had the most unusual experience at one of our previous favorite spots.

There were only 2 tables and it took them so long to come to us and never fill our waters or take our order. They needed about 40 minutes to tell us they were from the wine we wanted. The burger was pretty good, but the gnocchi was smart and rough. Pretty disappointing.

Came on a Wednesday afternoon. There was a small parking lot in front so I could see if it was busy you might have to park somewhere else. You walk in and sit wherever you want. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. The have beer on tap and they also have a fridge full of all kinds of beers that you can help yourself too. I ordered the garlic Parmesan wings and omg they were sooo good and crispy. They weren't messy and oily like other places would be. For dessert we got the vanilla caramel bread pudding which was awesome as well. Everything came out fresh and hot! I've never been here before but I'll definitely be back.

Stumbled across this place the other night. Outside looks like it should be a cool place. Inside does too. Nice selection of wine and beers. Wide variety of menu options. The burger was ok. The mahi Ruben was better than ok. Fries were cold and not fresh. Three ladies behind the bar. One was hustling. One looked like an owner/manager and spent most her time chatting with someone that looked like a possible regular. The third one was angry. Fight with the ex, disagreement with landlord, dog ran away. Not sure. But she absolutely 100% never recognized our existence let alone offered any service. It's unlikely we'd go out of our way to come here again. My guess is that it's more of a local's place.

A solid four for good service and a server that had fun. I only have the burger and a beer for compliment. The mood is very warm and welcoming. I wouldn't say it was the best or worst I had, but I would try other unique things. I just chased the simplicity of beer and burgers.
