Corey and Joe, the bartenders/ servers are awesome! Fantastic service with a personal flair! Quaint nice relaxing atmosphere entices you into the past but it's the present. Tv's around to watch the Cavs/Indians. Fried green tomatoes are excellent as well as pizzas and libations! Will definitely be a FAVE place to return to w/happy hour 4-6 seven days a week!!!!! read more

We chose 1815 Tavern for dinner because I heard there was happy hour on Saturday which I thought was outstanding! There was NO happy hour menu to be found so we didn't know what we could order and our waiter told us nothing. All we knew was that the "flatbreads" were part of the deal. The atmosphere was really nice and the food was excellent however we ended up paying $16 for a pizza that we would not have gotten if we knew it wasn't included. The other pizzas were only $8. Would have been nice if it was written on a sign or menu so we would not be so confused. I will not be going back. read more

Excellent place with an excellent ambience !! Nice people and a great bar atmosphere !! Food choices and wine selections were excellent and very reasonably priced !! Thanks to Ryan who made sure we were having a great time !! Will most definitely recommend this place !! Thx DR MD read more

Love the grilled brussel sprouts and pizza here!! There is a really cool vibe and great restoration.

This review is for their Sunday brunch. I have not yet been to this restaurant for anything else. This location is new, owned by the owners of Mad Jacks's, just up the street. Nice ambiance for brunch. We chose to sat outside, since the weather was good, but there is also indoor seating. The spicy shrimp mary (think cross between shrimp cocktail and bloody mary) is excellent. Their mimosas are great and they also have a grapefruit mimosa. Entrees are great. The salmon benedict and shrimp and grits are great. If you have a hearty appetite or are sharing with a friend, get the breakfast pizza. You will also receive a small, freshly baked blueberry muffin with your meal. Service was attentive. There were a few minor flaws in execution that kept this from receiving 5 stars, but perhaps after a few more months they will be corrected. Worth a visit for Sunday Brunch! read more

I was really looking forward to eating here, and it was good, but not as good as I thought it would be. I went there with my mom for a late dinner. She was really hungry for a burger, but unfortunately they did not have any on the menu. She settled for two appetizers, the brussel sprouts and the chicken meatballs. I got a pizza with prosciutto and and arugula pizza, which was delicious and heated up nicely the next day for lunch. However, the brussel sprouts and chicken meatballs were not top notch at all. The brussel sprouts said that they were "wood fired with with pork cracklings and apple cider butter sauce" -- I am not sure if wood fired means they should taste a certain way, but they were very dry and had almost no flavor to them. It was as if they had not been cooked, sauteed, roasted -- anything. The chicken meatballs were also a little tough. All being said, since it was only my first time at the place, I will happily go back and try more things on the menu. read more

1815 Tavern - Prosciutto and Argula pizza - Salad Near Me - Aurora, Ohio

See all

My wife and I ate at the 1815 Tavern and experienced bland food, poor service, and clueless management. Three strikes, you're out.

Stopped in to 1815 for a late dinner with my wife. We were greeted as we walked in and given our choice of bar or restaurant seating. Opting for the latter, we were pleased to see that everything was clean and had a rustic feel as we approached our table for two, next to the fireplace. The atmosphere was casual with Dave Matthews Band playing in the background. It appears that the Tavern is a modified house, converted into a great place to eat and drink - exposed wood beams and brick. The restrooms were really clean and well taken care of. We opted for a couple $13 / $14 pizzas (Margarita and Veggie). Both were delicious - thin crust with fresh cheese on each. The Veggie had a hint of sweetness that was not at all overpowering. Entrée prices hovered in the mid-$20 range. 1815 has a nice beer list, both bottles and drafts; all drafts featured local Ohio beers. We didn't have room for dessert, but heard they are all hand made from scratch. Our server was pleasant and helpful throughout. The glass water bottles left on the table for "self-refills" was a nice touch too. We'll be back here again. read more

Favorite wood fire pizza in the area. Pancetta w/ arugula & mushroom are my favorite by far. The bar has a good bourbon selection that includes Blanton's. Go on a clear night and enjoy the patio that includes a fire pit. read more

Passing through Aurora on a Sunday afternoon and decided to stop in for dinner. Took a chance on this place not knowing anything about it. Wow what a great place!!! My husband and I loved our experience! Our meal was excellent! We ordered a wood fired Margherita pizza with artichoke and tomato salads and homemade carrot cake for dessert. Amazing!!! We ate outside on the patio it was very comfortable and clean. The service was excellent. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive to our needs. There's entertainment on Sundays and Wednesdays at 5:00 PM on the patio. Wish we had time to stay. We will be returning to this restaurant soon. Perfect place for a relaxing date! (First review gave a 5 star rating) Second visit was nice but the food and service weren't great. The Prosciutto and Arugula pizza was drenched in olive oil/pesto and a soggy mess to eat. The fried green tomatoes were bland, not worth eating. The best part of the experience was the entertainment the guy was fantastic! It was a beautiful day on the patio! (A 3 star rating) Third visit not much better than the last visit. Average service, average food, nothing to brag about. The flies and bees on the patio were awful, they swarmed around us the entire time (even before the food came). It was annoying and made for a very stressful experience. The quality of the food and the high prices with average service make this place a pass by. We won't be returning. (A 2 star rating) read more

Best fried green tomatoes I've ever had! The spicy shrimp and mussel linguine was fantastic as well. Overall great service and delicious food. read more

Ok hubby convinced me to go back to 1815. Still no chicken on the menu. (Really?).Had the meatball appetizer, hard to eat cheese was too stringy and hard to cut, very messy. Meatball was stone cold in the center, sauce was good. Glutton for punishment, got the wood fired pepperoni pizza. Tasted ok, but poorly designed. Slices of cheese on it. When taking a bite, the cheese was too firm to bite through so the whole slice came off and landed on my shirt..Cheese should've been fresh and soft or shredded.I don't expect to have to use a knife and fork to eat pizza, but it was the only way to not wear more of it. I would have complained at the time, but hubby was feeling bad because I, yet again, had a bad experience. read more

Awful dinner experience here. It took forever to get served cocktails & even longer for the food to arrive. 3 out of the 4 of us ordered burgers which were all cooked wrong and served on a bun that was so burned it should have never left the kitchen! Asked to speak to the manager who didn't appear at our table until after dinner and he was so rude. Not sure how he got that position. We will not be going back. read more

We came here when it first open and we came back tonight for dinner . My bf and i quickly realized why we haven't been back !! We have been here for over 2 and a half hrs to have an appetizer and pizza. Our server would check on the other two tables that she had while i sat here with an empty wine glass and my boyfriend with an empty beer .( she came out 3 times and saw this but never came over, we had to ask the hostess to ask our server for another round !!! ) i was a server when i was younger and this was ridiculous . The fastest and most attentive our server had been the whole meal was when we asked for the check and a box !!!! Again this was ridiculously bad service and we will never be coming back !!!!! read more

I ate there for the first time this evening. Service was poor and inattentive but the food was worse. I had the Beef Stroganoff and it was just mildly warm and was one congealed mass of noodles, beef, and a gluey gooey sauce - I actually had to use a knife to separate a single bite from the gooey lump. Bland would be an understatement. It looked and tasted like two day old leftovers that got thrown in the microwave. Very disappointed. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and service was excellent. The owner John came to our table to introduce himself and when he found out my husband loves a good bourbon he offered to show my husband the burbon selection, which was excellent. I had the special halibet and brussel sprouts. My husband had the pizza and eveything was wonderful. We will go back again. read more

I have been to 1815 on several occasions and have never been disappointed. Tonight was sufficiently disappointing to post this review...not only was the pizza disappointing but the restaurant's response was worse. Ordered the artichoke and bacon pizza; unfortunately it had little to no bacon. In fact my wife and I found one small piece on the entire pizza. My wife was a waitress in college so we are very accommodating to wait staff. Very nicely (and with some good natured kidding) pointed out the lack of bacon to the waitress. She very sweetly told us she'd tell the cook. No response afterwards. Got the bill including full price for "artichoke and bacon pizza" and made another friendly remark about a bacon pizza that had virtually no bacon. I could have legitimately refused to pay for the pizza but did not and gave the waitress a decent tip. She picked up the bill and said nothing about the lousy pizza. So either she told her boss and management didn't care or she didn't say anything about it. Either one is a problem. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant after this and by all means, don't expect bacon on your bacon and artichoke pizza! read more

We've been here 50 times at least! They always provide great service and wonderful meals! It's our go to summertime outdoor hangout and they make a great Tito's Mule! read more

Love this place! Tito's Mule is terrific. Incredible burgers! Great food all the way around!! LOVE this place so glad it's local!

Really good; will definitely be back. Had the wedge salad and a sausage pizza; both were unique and really tasty. Prices were slightly higher than what I was expecting but well-within the range for such a nice place with such great food. Service was excellent. We were seated indoors in the dining area but I walked through the property; the bar had seating at the bar along with a few stand-up tables; there was a really nice outdoor patio with a gas firepit that looked really inviting. Will need to return and explore the rest of the entrees; the menu isn't too small or too large and there are a number of really interesting entrees available. read more

Oh how I really want to like this restaurant. We went on a Friday in August for my birthday. This was the second time we had gone here with a reservation...and the second time our table wasn't ready. Two people tried to convince us to eat on the patio..but it was raining. Nope. When we were finally seated, our college aged waitress never told us the specials. We were inquiring about some appetizers...she brought us one we never ordered. And another. We paid for two appetizers and only wanted one. But to be honest, they were the best part of the evening: Fried green tomatoes and the cheese plate. I had the salmon with Bok choy and the Bok choy was awful. Soggy and tasteless. No effort at all was put into this side. My husband and daughter had two beef based dishes that pretty much used the same beef with a different presentation. The "open faced ravioli" was a joke. Shredded beef with a undercooked piece of pasta on top of it. They were out of some of the desserts ... Which we didn't find out until after we'd ordered them. We had to beg for salt and pepper and were never asked if we wanted more wine or beverages. This was our second visit and I can't say that I'd recommend it...such a shame because I REALLY wanted to like this restaurant. read more

Best place in Aurora to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and enjoy some great, classic food, prepared with outstanding flavor profiles. White pizza and pepper on pizza are amazing and fresh out a wood fired stove. Best in Aurora! Plus, the happy hour from 4-6 Monday - Friday should be something everyone makes an effort to check out. Great specials in the bar area! read more

We are regulars to this place coming in at least once a month.... Our last visit was not very good. We sat for 10/15min before a waitress came to the table. We ordered beers, took another 15min to get our beers. Waitress never brought water to the table while we waited. Placed our order finally after flagging our waitress down because she seemed to be avoiding our table after another 15min. We ordered the 'white' pizza. Took forever for the food to come out and when she brought it to the table it was the incorrect pizza leading to another lengthy wait for our food. Was never asked for a refill on my beer... Food was good, but very poor service... read more

First time at 1815 tavern. Took an hour to get our food. Had to ask for bread. Place wasn't packed. Many empty tables. Didn't get any water glasses after asking or ketchup after asking. Very poor service. Spent over $160. I will not be returning. And will not suggest to any others. Also no toilet paper in the bathroom. read more

Great food great environment love this place, will be coming back for sure. Great for families little pricy tho but for this food and experience it worth it trust me read more

Meh. Small portions, pricey, but the food was tasty. No chicken on the menu?! (I think they have a chickien/pasta dish, but thats it.) Nice patio, but the rain precluded us from using it. read more

I have been coming to Ohio for 28 years for the annual twins day festival. Being from New Jersey I have never found a pizza that wowed me or a pasta dish, for that matter. That all changed this year. 1815 has the BEST Pizza this side on NYC! Homemade pasta that is top notch. I made two trips for dinner in one week. Drinks, service, atmosphere, and food all were excellent. The first night I had a Moscow Mule as my drink, the Brussels salad as my appetizer and the White pizza for my dinner everything was perfect! The second trips meal was Red Sangria as my drink, Brussels salad appetizer (can you tell I really like this?) and the single ravioli. When I read the set up of the single ravioli I was not sure what I was going to get, it was not like anything I have had before. The flavor of the ravioli pasta was amazing and really complimented the Braised Beef, Carrots, Roasted Mushrooms (did I mention normally I do not care for mushrooms?) the portion size was perfect. There were Eight other people in our party (on both trips) I think just about everything on the menu was tried at least once. There were no issues and no mistakes in our orders. Everyone raved about each item they ordered, in the end we tasted each other's food and one was just as good or better than the next. Now to the homemade desserts we shared carrot cake, white chocolate (raspberry) cheese cake, and vanilla ice cream....Do not ask me which is the best I was floored by them all. OK...I am partial to cheese cake but everyone else voted the carrot cake. To all the people who live in the surrounding area you are so lucky to have such a diamond. For those who are visiting the area mark 1815 as one of your dinning destinations. I unfortunately will have to wait a year before I can enjoy all that 1815 has to offer. read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time a Friday night. So disappointed, food was trying to hard. Service was very slow and inattentive . We felt ignored. Maybe we weren't the right fit. I don't recommend nor would ever return. As residents of Aurora we like to support the local businesses. Suggest you look at diversity training for your staff, minorities also have $$$ . read more

great pizza and brussell sprout salad. love the place inside. such good food. little expensive. can order pizza for pickup.

Bad service! I'm starving don't come here! Helpppppppppppppp! I had to wait an 1 1/2 for our food and entertain a 4 year old at the same time. They even ran out of an appertizer we wanted to order? They need more cooks is all I can figure out. read more

In a word - meh. Went on a Sunday, before the big dinner crowd. We chose to eat inside. To say the service was slow would be an understatement. After a good 15-20 minute wait the waitress came over to take our drink orders. Told us she had just arrived and didn't know the specials and would have to get back to us. We had to ask for water. Expected better service and better food for all the rave reviews. The pear martini was good so I'll give them that. Most likely will not visit this place again. read more

Great food but absolutely terrible service. If they don't improve the service the food won't save them.

Just returned from my first visit to 1815 Tavern in Aurora. I saw some reviews and was hesitant to go, but we are so glad we went. Beautiful spot, excellent food, nice wine selection and great service! The manager, Kim, was especially nice as well. I had the grilled Brussels sprouts ( small plate), it was delicious. My friend had artichoke salad - loved it! We split a pizza and it was delicious. We also shared a piece of carrot cake - the icing was incredible, and we both loved the pecan switch (instead of walnuts). Love it there - can't wait to go back! read more

We visited 1815T because of how great people have talked about it! It was just ok. When we were seated we weren't even asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. If it was busy then i would understand but the place was empty! My Lemon cello Lemonade needed to be iced or chilled and our waitress could've used some warming up! Felt like we were interrupted our whole meal and it was more than your avg "checking in". We had to ask for our own water. Since when is water not brought to the table. The bread was pieces of bread not slices or dinner rolls. Kind of strange. I Ordered the Brussels Salad which was very good but could have had a bit more dressing or dressing on the side. We ordered a pizza but i may have tried a dinner if i had time to look at the extravagant ingredients and menu items. The coffee brûlée had great flavor but was very mushy and there was NO crack when i broke the topping! Sadly, I dont think i would go back. Too many other choices for the price! read more

So upset!!! Usually LOVE this place. Went Sunday with my family from out of town. I have been raving about this food since it opened, my family wanted to try it. The service was TERRIBLE!! The food was UNDER COOKED!!! And were there for 3 hours!!! Omg!!! I ordered water but never got a glass, my strip steak was RARE COLD in the middle!!! I asked for it to be med. the took it back and burnt the outside, now I have a burnt raw steak. It never came off the bill. My aunt had a cold center pork chop. Awful!!! Our green tomatoes had ZERO DRESSING Disappointment!!!!!! NEVER GO IN A SUNDAY!!!! read more

Love this place! Great addition to Aurora! Love the Salmon and Veggie pizza! We sat outside last weekend - great atmosphere. Everyone in my family of 5 enjoyed their meal! read more

1817 Tavern was suggested to us, by a local furniture store. Soooo NOT impressed! Service VERY slow, slow, slow. Only saw one server in the place!! Took over 40 minutes to just get a salad, that was sub-standard at best! Ordered a Caesar salad, greens were wilted, old, and was NOT romaine. GROSS! Caesar dressing was tasty, to bad they done't know what romaine hearts are, or fresh! We were charged $12.00 for a salad, that was smaller than a side salad! RIDICULOUS!!!Table behind us got a side salad that was huge. Theirs was $8.00...??? Pizza looked NOTHING like the pizza on the advertisement. By the time it was brought to the table, it was COLD! Black burnt spots all over the crust top & bottom. Bottom side of the pizza also had burnt spots. The pizza tasted burnt; and crust was tough, and difficult to even chew, or cut with a knife! Very slow to bring food to the table; but quick to grab things off the table, before even done eating. (Took my knife and fork; and was still eating!) Shared a salad, pizza, and 2 ice teas, and left over $36 there! Then one feels that they have to tip the server, for the SLOW service. Left feeling VERY ripped off and insulted!! Did NOT enjoy the food or the experience! Would NEVER recommend this place. Learn from our mistake, and steer clear of this place! If this is the best they can do, maybe they should just CLOSE! read more

The food was outstanding, but we waited over 35 minutes for it to arrive. I requested silverware because we only had two place settings for 3 people. I waited as my food got cold and when the server returned she had a tray of drinks and served the tables on either side of us, poured their drinks and had pleasant conversation. She then came back and asked if we needed anything, I finally received utensils. About ten minutes after our food arrived, my salad was delivered. When we were almost done, we noticed the tables around us had bread, which would have help while we waited for our food. We will give it one more try, hopefully this a fluke. read more

No longer dog friendly and thus no longer worth over looking inconsistent execution by the kitchen. An attitude change has occurred from owner to the greeter that makes it stuffy, plagued by overpriced average wines, and the only safe thing to order is a pizza. read more

This a newer restaurant, very nice. Been there twice and had their pizzas. Quite good! As the designation shows, $$$, it is a bit pricey. But the pizzas are unique and for the occasional times well worth it. read more
