Online and on their menu in the restaurant it says they have mix and match bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary’s. However our server told us they no longer do that, and only do bottomless mimosas. Some of our plates of food were brought out cold, the food wasn’t very appetizing. We ended up paying and going to Starbucks down the street for coffee and breakfast

(Variety of menu's from week to week----is sometimes difficult to catch up with!) Suggest you be there at least once---during happy hour----and you will be impressed with menu choices and wine by the glass pricing. (Wine dinners are excellent value for the dollar spent, btw.)

Introduced herself twice in a five minute span. Brought the wrong drink menu. Proceeded to ask if we had any questions, then apologized for bringing the wrong menu when we asked for the brunch drink menu. Then, wait for it, brings the exact same menu. Didn't take our food order, and was MIA for 5 minutes when we were her only table. Got up and left. Avenues has great food, so we will be back, but will not done in her section.

We loved our server Katherine, she was kind, helpful, and an absolute delight. She was the best waitress I have ever had. She recommended the bacon dates, lobster ravoli, and the most delicious german apple cake I have ever tasted and buddy am I an expert at german apple cake. I will come back just for the food and for the wonderful service.

Our water was served in coffee cups because they had no glasses. The food was very tasty and the price reasonable. Very loud in the back room so be prepared.
