I will give Chance 11 another Chance for the Fish Bowls I see heavily advertised. I ordered a shot of Patron to wake me up and the bartender overfilled my shot glass to the point it spilled on my date's lap. I was not even given a lime or salt !!! Parking was atrocious. Took me way too long to find a spot and had to squeeze my VW into a tight spot.
I went to Chance 11 on a Thursday to meet up with friends. I had no idea that Chance was small. From the pictures I thought it was big and roomy. Not to say that small is a bad thing but I guess the photographers know which angles work the best.
There's a $10 cover charge. Be mindful not to bring pepper spray because mine was confiscated. There should be both male and female security guards. I feel that a male security guard shouldn't search both men and women, just men. There's comedy and karaoke night on Thursdays. If you can't take a joke don't sit at the first three tables near the entrance.
Drinks are just okay. I ordered the Blue Long Island fishbowl which tasted like gasoline. I'm not really sure what gasoline tastes like but you get my point. My fishbowl tasted poisonous, absolutely terrible. I told the bartender whom seemed offended that I pointed out that she didn't know how to bartend. If I'm paying for a service I expect it to be right. No ifs, and, or buts.
The food seems to be good from what little I've tasted. Would I come back? Yes, not necessarily for the fishbowl but more so the camaraderie of my peers. It was an enjoyable evening.
I wish I could give this place a three or four star rating because the food was amazing, but I just can't because the service was terrible and the environment was borderline ratchet.
I walked in to Chance 11 and immediately upon entering I felt the ghetto vibe. I sat down and waited for my friend to arrive. Not even a minute after sitting a guy at the bar who was super drunk and stumbling hits on me and proceeds to to make conversation while I'm on my phone and while his buddy is sitting next to him at the bar.
He eventually left me alone and turned back to his drink and his buddy. My friend arrives and she immediately said the same thing about the vibe. We started yelping places to see where else in the area we could go for good drinks and good food. That search unfortunately came up empty-handed so we decided to stay and see what chance was really about.
The music was pretty good because they played R&B and hip-hop which is what our preference is. The waitress however was pretty much a bitch. Yes you might need to have tough skin to work here given the environment and to deal with the many drunkards but she was pretty rude, snappy and very impatient. I asked her a simple question as to the best drink they have and if she had any recommendations and she shrugged her shoulders and said "I don't know what you like."
I then made the mistake of asking her some more questions about the food menu and I got pretty much the same response with a bit of impatience in her tone. I ordered the shrimp pasta linguine with Alfredo sauce and I must say it was absolutely amazing!! It was very tasty and well cooked. The portion could've been a little more for the price of $14, but it actually turned out to be enough to satisfy me. My friend enjoyed her meal as well.
I got some blue Curaçao drink and it was horrible not to mention $12. There was a lot of liquor in it and the liquor tasted cheap. It was enough to get me a little buzzed but I had to ask her to bring me more pineapple juice so I could drink it.
The service was horrible being that there was only one girl there waiting and bartending for about five or six different tables. I'm not sure I would come back here but the food was so good that I just might on a random day. Proceed here with caution.
Food is good – love the pasta dishes. Drinks are a-ok — they often have specials. It's rarely crowded. They show most, if not all the sporting events, which is great. They have parties here as well, which can be fun. Nice neighborhood spot.
Fishbowl Mondays!!! I come here every other Monday with a group a friends to kick it.
It's a nice little spot not to far from my domain, that plays good tunes that will definitely get you dancing, supplies you with enough alcohol in one fishbowl that I don't need another, and offer decent eats to soak some of that alcohol up.
It's small, but not like a sardine can. The decor is nice as well.
You wanna unwind after work without staying in the city this is a cool spot.
Well Well Well………….. First Impression is everything……….. everything………….
I walked into Chance 11 and the waitress was a turn off – she seemed aloof with a I don't care attitude towards my questions. First off – it is summer and it was humid – they had the door open and the Fans were not doing the job of keeping the customers cool…. So I said It is hot in here and the dry response of the waitress was, really – I don't feel it….. and that was her response with an I don't care attitude – so we decided to sit by the door – then she proceeded to sit us on a shaky table that was unclean………….. I then said we will sit two table away from the dirty table……….. By the time I sat and was relaxed me and my friend was one second away from walking out….
Chance Management get it together – customer service and first impression are everything for a consistent clientele roster.
The establishment itself was nice and airy – at night – low lighting……… The tunes on the play list was certainly on point.
The food was very good and tasty – I especially loved the mac and cheese – the boneless bbq chicken – broccoli and plantains – the cajun shrimp was really good too – and the drink that I had the waitress made very well.
Now our waitress who was lack luster from the beginning became more talkative – gave suggestions and began smiling more – I think she had a drink or two that unwinded her – LOL!
I would have given this place 4 stars – but had to knock 1 star off due to my first impression…. I have to say this – when I am in the mood for some Mac and Cheese – I will definitely be back.
Came here to celebrate my birthday and I was disappointed in the portion of food we received, The food was expensive and you hardly get much of it. The service was so so, the young lady seem over it and so were we. I still enjoyed myself because I was with family and friends but its an experience that I would not want to repeat.
