Avenue 805good foodthe food and service were excellant - but a big detractor was a table of four women next to us who were unusually loud - one of whom had a particularly raucous, unpleasant voice. while i realize neither she nor the restaurant can do anything about that - it was a distractor. one of our party wears hearing aids and it was most unpleasant for him.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMThough I lived in the FanThough I lived in the Fan for many years, it has been 30 years since I frequented many restaurants there on a regular basis. I have now found a reason to go back more often. The food and service were just the type for both the tastes of my wife and myself, we have found a new Italian restaurant worth the effort to go out of our immediate area.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMAlthough we have eaten atAlthough we have eaten at 805 on numerous occaisons, we went specially for Restaurant Week because the special menue offered entrees that are not usually on the menu. Our party of 4 tried 3 different entrees and we agreed, they were all delicious. Their talented chef not only can produce the old stand-by's consistently well but enjoys the challenge of producing different dishes. 805 has a lot to offer both from the regular menu and from their specials. The service is always friendly and professional.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMI was very impressed. TheI was very impressed. The location is a little unfortunate (behind a pizza hut), but the overall experience was excellent. The menu is short (helpfully so) yet broad, being sure to cover at least one thing on everyone's pallet. The wine/beverage list is also minimalist, but is not lacking anything important. The food was excellent. For the price, this place is hard to beat.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of the best, if not theOne of the best, if not the best, date night bargains in the City - and beyond! The service is attentive, and prompt. If you order the date night special of salad, pasta, dessert and bottle of wine, the salad is crisp and fresh, the pasta is beautifully cooked (and if you add the chicken to the pasta, the chicken is grilled and warm - and very, very tasty) and the bread pudding dessert is to-die-for! AND there is more than enough to take home for another meal You owe it to your stomach to try this place on a Monday or Tuesday - or any night - the rest of the menu is every bit as good as the date night special.2/12/2013 12:00:00 AM
