I had an excellent dinner with great service. The drink menu featured some unique options, and the pie for dessert was amazing. Although the prices are somewhat high, the food was well-prepared and delicious. The menu offered a nice variety of options, ensuring there was something for everyone.

Our server Jon A made our first visit here wonderful. He was so knowledgeable about all the dishes and the drinks! He made us feel welcome. The food was out of this world wonderful! Definitely try their swordfish and lasagna! But save room for that lemon brueled tart with blueberry sauce. The cocktails were a hit. As well as the risotto balls that we feel were the best we ever had. You absolutely must make a reservation or you won’t get in. The place is packed. But with this wonderful overall experience we can see why!

I am sad I do not recall the waitresses name we had last night. She was very attentive. It was my birthday and she served us our drinks and gave us time to enjoy each other. I had the Branzino and it did not disappoint. My husband had the loaded baked potato and a ribeye. The meat was perfect! Can’t wait to dine at The Avenue again.
