    It was my moms birthday and she picked this place. I checked out the reviews and instantly knew this might not be worth the visit. I made an OpenTable reservation but the do not have a system to check in those reservations but instead use a notebook. Still don’t understand why they are on here. The manager i believe led us to a secluded area in the back were there was one other table so it felt really lonely :(. Anyways, we all arrived and the server w/ a tattoo on his arm (didn’t introduce himself) lacked service so much I wanted to complain but i didn’t want to ruin the day. The server would ignore all the guys even if they have been there longer and ask the women for drinks, and one by on he went instead of taking all the drink orders at once. It probably took him half an hour just to get drinks. I got their new pale ale beer which was good, another person got a daisy cutter and it was too flat for tasting, we had to send it back twice to the point of switching. We then ordered three appetizers: goat cheese fondue, calamari, and something with vegetables. The calamari was so depressing - NOT WORTH IT. It was rubbery, and tiny like popcorn chicken! The presentation was horrible. The goat cheese fondue was also depressing - 5 sliced bread pieces with a bowl of cheese -_-. I could’ve done that at my house. Then our entrees came, everyone enjoyed their food which was okay but it didn’t wow me nor anyone else. The server then came once to check on us and then MIA. Once we were done with our entrees we were waiting for the server to hopefully ask us if we want dessert. Not once did he mention dessert but he passed us many times. I had to wave him down and ask if they do anything for bdays. I ordered my mom a chocolate slice and it was delicious then we order bread pudding which was good. Overall I would never come back, unless I’m just drinking. It has more of a bar atmosphere than anything else. I wouldn’t recommend this place for a special occasion either.

    Food was bland. Side salad was tasteless lettuce and croutons. Was excited for vegetarian options - ordered the portobello panini and it was mostly goat cheese and peppers and minimal mushroom.

    Our waiter, Gabriel, was awesome but the food was not great. My spinach dip was nothing but oil from the cheese and they were out of a lot of menu items.

    Not sure why you are able to make a reservation for Avenue Ale House through Open Table. My friend who was first to arrive was told there was no reservation. Then he was asked if we made it on Open Table, and was told they don't get the reservations made through Open Table. There are plenty of restaurants that don't use Open Table, so they should really get their restaurant removed if they don't want irritated customers.

    Was trivia night which accounts for big crowd & high noise level. We were not there for trivia night.
