   Great ambience and good food. The lunch menu was limited and food was not great but definitely not bad. It was okay. We had the Grand Royale seafood tower, Lobster roll, steak tartare among other things. All were just okay especially when considering the price. However, the ambience more than made up for it. We had a beautiful window seat with an ocean view. The table and room were spacious. Service was good. The biggest disappointment were the drinks which are super small but standard priced - think shrinkflation.

   Wasn’t even too crowded but we had a hard time getting our waiter. We asked for a dessert menu (waiter did not offer) and 20 mins later we were still trying to order our dessert so we opted to leave instead. Also the drinks were VERY watered down - which is sad given the price. Disappointed to be leaving this review as this used to be one of my fav places in Pier Village.

   Excellent food! We enjoyed every dish that we got. However, service was not great. Not because the waitress was not good but everything took A LONG time. We arrived at 630 and left at 930pm. (Party of 3) Drinks took about 20 mins and waitress said the bar was packed so she apoglized. Overall, I would give it another try in a few months to see if they worked out the service issues but the food was the star here. Not the whole experience.

   We have been coming here for years and over the last two or three years we have noticed a decline in the quality of the food. The portion sizes are smaller, and the quality of the cuisine has become less than excellent.  The service was very good, and the ambience was excellent, but we would hesitate to return.

   It was a bit expensive for Mother’s Day dinner as people had children. I love the place but $300 for 3 is a lot.

   Went for Mother’s Day and wasn’t informed of prefix menus prior which isn’t that big of a deal but would have liked to have had a regular ala carte. Drinks weren’t that good. Food came out a little cold. Wine came after we already fished entrees. Utensils were taken away and had to ask for them multiple times. Kind of a snowball effect making the experience tougher to enjoy.

    We have been here many times, but last night was an even better experience than we have had before. My daughter has dietary issues and saw that for Mother’s Day menu they had a special dessert that was dairy free. I asked if they could make it for her and was initially told they didn’t think so. But, not only did they make it, the chef came out pulled up a chair and explained how we could make it at home. This gesture made her (and us) VERY happy!! Service, food, and drinks were amazing as always.

    Unfortunately service was extremely slow and disorganized last night at Avenue. The food and cocktails were quite good, tho some of the food was not quite hot enough, and the coffee was lukewarm. Dinner in total was 3 hours for a party of 4.

    Pretentious. Wine list has to be accessed on your phone. Scroll FOREVER through hundreds of 3 digit priced wines to find an affordable bottle for a simple night out.Went for Restaurant Week so can't comment on regular menu, but our dinners were nice, not wonderful. Our choice of dessert, (Pot de Crème - Dark Chocolate Custard Topped with Crème Chantilly & Sprinkles) was merely a premade and refrigerated chocolate pudding with whipped cream.

    Our server was lovely and overall the food was tasty. Unfortunately, due to a policy which we understand is enforced by the chef, not the waitstaff, a simple substitution of one type of potato for another with the main dish was not allowed. Although the policy of no substitutions is stated on the menu, we were 4 of only 11 people dining on a slow Thursday night in April. It was also a birthday dinner and an exception could have been made in this case. Perhaps on a busy weekend, substituting a different potato might upset the kitchen, this was not the case last night.

    What is happened to our beloved Avenue? On Easter Sunday, our server had no one to clean tables or remove dishes. He was totally overwhelmed with too many tables and no support. We arrive for brunch at 2 PM and due to slow service. We were not finished until 5 PM. Our family has a long history enjoying Avenue; this is the second time we have been very disappointed with the service. The last time we popped into the bar, a server was acting as the sole bartender. While he tried his best, he was in over his head. We’re not experiencing service issues with any other restaurants that we visit, not sure what’s happening here.

    We love the Avenue for the food, service, location, and ambience. However, on Easter Brunch, it was much noisier than we recall - easier to hear conversations from nearby tables than at our own, and the temp of the room was a bit cool. The food and service, as always, was excellent. We felt the brunch price was a bit steep for what we ordered. If you seen towards the meats, then the price is more appropriate. If you lean towards the breakfast items, it is quite expensive. We will be back, but probably for standard meals.

    Server took over 20min to get us two drinks: glass of wine the other a bloody mary. Bar was empty so not sure why it took that long. Second, our entrees came before our appetizers and lastly when the server cleared our apps he dropped my vinaigrette covered knife onto my $5000 Hermat couture dress. I quickly asked him for club soda and he darted off and after waiting for at least 10min I went up to the bar myself and just asked the bartender for club soda. Took me 60 seconds. Server came back 15min later with my club soda. Overall he was apologetic but not coming back

    Avenue was serene and quiet as we ate our lunch. The food was fresh and tasted delicious. Service could not have been better. It’s always beautiful to have lunch along the beach. But I’d definitely bring back real physical menus. People should have a choice or just the physical ones.

    Such a great spot for Brunch! Best french toast ever and the Bellini’s were delicious. The view of the ocean is beautiful, the restaurant is gorgeous and the vibe was perfect. Just get there early because parking can be very tricky especially if you go in the summer.

    This is our second visit in the past few weeks. Both times the service and food were superb. Most recently, we had a reservation on a Saturday night, and were seated promptly. The host was very gracious and took us to a table closer to the Ocean. What a view! Wine and beer served right away. We had the beet salad and endive salad for starters, both great. Then I had the mushroom tart appetizer as my main dish, it is heavenly. The others had the gnocchi and trout almandine, not a morsel left on either plate. If you want an elegant dinner at a gorgeous location, this is the place for you. You will not be disappointed.

The highest quality ingredients and an amazing menu. The service was great. Couldn't think of a thing to criticize other than a little louder than I am

    Very impressive room design, food quality, and service. Although we were a couple amongst only two others in the dining room. Beautiful place, comfortable, nice background music. My only complaint was the lack of real paper menus. Had to scroll through menu on my smartphone. Not at all in keeping with the elegance and pricing for such quality food and surroundings. A real turnoff for me not to leaf through textured paper in faux leather binder.

    perhaps because it is the winter, the menu was limited and the dishes we selected were mediocre. We started with the squid appetizer in a red sauce (just ok) and entrees were Niçoise (you would think in a French style restaurant that would be spectacular) which was dry (little / no dressing) and HEAPED with canned tuna on one or two pieces of romaine, but some fresh sliced as well. very odd. one or two potatoes and small portion of eggs. dressing was good when i asked for some. my guest had gnocchi with mushrooms. tons of mushrooms, sauce was good but very few gnocchi's. All in all disappointing. The view and room were spectacular.
