   Good food, terrible service. Waiter tried to take a drink order the second I sat down. I didn’t even have a menu yet! Then he finally asked for my appetizers. I was done eating my appetizers and no one had taken an entree order. The bus boy ended up doing it. The next time I saw my waiter was when I just started eating my entree and he asked if I wanted dessert or the check. I’ve never felt so rushed or had an unenjoyable experience.

   Kitchen sent out the food in the wrong order- adults got our meal 10 minutes before the kids food came out. Our overpriced paella came out with only bowls for used shells but no plates to eat on. Out of the 10 or so clams there were actually only two clams- rest were empty shells - and no they were not in the rice. At least we were given a complimentary drink - so there’s that.

   excellent all around!! I had the salmon, my daughter had the halibut and my husband had a chicken dish. Appetizers: shrimp cocktail and escargot. And I always have a side of brussels sprouts.

   8/6/22 we go every Saturday for BRUNCH :: the Maitre/d TERRY IS AMAZING. He’s there each week smiles etc. Michael is my favorite waiter but service is A plus. I lived in manhattan and been all over Europe and have to say from the oysters to the seafood tower to the French toast or omelette s it’s always a tough call what to order. BEACH AND BRUNCH

    Waited for 15 minutes to be seated, food took 30 minutes to arrive after it took 30 minutes to take our order. The food was good with exception to the main entree, which was extremely salty and barely touched. Many tables were visibly complaining to management, which was defensive giving excuses to the other patrons. The first visit was very different, it was surprising to have changed so much.

    The service was terrible we had to wait 30 minutes after getting seated to get any kind of attention. Another 20 to get water and further 15 to get the wine.The patio was literally 50% occupied at that hour, so it wasn't a mad rush. The table next to us was served incorrect order not once but twice! Perhaps, it was a one off thing. Still tipped 140 on a 400 tab.

    Most of my review if this place would be 5 star. My mussels were except it the frites were underdone. As well the Brussels sprouts were so salty they weren’t edible. The trout was excellent and the salade verte was also fantastic and beauty’s well. Our service was excellent.

    It’s a beautiful restaurant but the service was lacking on our our visit on Saturday for brunch. Not overly crowded yet it took more than 30 minutes for the waiter to come to our table. We than waited another 15-20 minutes for the mimosas. The Nicose salad was unimpressive with 4 (yes, 4) green beans, 2 cherry tomatoes, and several pieces of lettuce! The tuna was tasty but not worth the price charged. The trout seemed to be the better choice.

    We have been here many times before but, this was not putting their best foot forward. We recognized as a group of four that they probably had staffing issues but, there was constant miscommunications where we were supposed to sit, where our reservations allowed us to sit and who was serving us. When moving inside, it was so loud we had to yell to hear one another however, they did turn the music down after one guest requested it. We were also disappointed that happy hours which used to be all evening Friday until 10 PM had been changed as well. The oysters that were usually a bargain, were not worth the full price tag. As a in advertised French restaurant, there was only one or two things that could be truly called French cuisine. Overall, location, location, location!

    We arrived on time for our 7:30 reservation. The place was very chaotic and noisy. The reception staff were very mechanical and somewhat unfriendly. We chose a table outside. The scenery was great, but the service was average at best. It took about 15 minutes to get the bottle of wine we ordered. For appetizers, we had the escargot, which was good. For entrée, I ordered the flat iron steak, but I am not sure what I got. It was a very thick piece of steak that was extremely chewy and tough. I looked to me like a chuck or round steak. The rest of the orders were average. I would not be unhappy if the prices were more reasonable. But for what they charge for food and drinks, I expect better quality and service. This place has lost its luster.

    Service was very very slow, lack of attention from our waiter, food was mediocre, meals were very overpriced. We went on Fourth of July and while it wasn’t too crowded I’d be willing to give the restaurant another try during a less busy time of year to see if it would be a better experience

    The location couldn't be better and we got a table outside, in the shade and facing the ocean, like a dream. The food is delicious, except they don't accept any substitutions, so if you're allergic to something in a dish, you just won't be able to eat it because they won't prepare it in a different way, that's why food doesn't get my 5 stars. The waiter was super nice and all but someone messed up our order and they forgot one of the main dishes, they just removed it from the bill, no apology or make it up for the mistake. We didn't complain at all because overall it's a great place to go.

    The bread was either not fresh or poorly prepared—chewy at best. The waiter had tables on the opposite side of the restaurant and ours making it very challenging to visit us. We were the only active table of 12 in our section. Entrees took forever. Halibut portion was underwhelming. We won’t go back. Not worth $176 per couple without dessert, one drink each, and one shared side.

    Nice restaurant. It was not busy when we were there for a 6:30 reservation, so the noise was quiet/moderate. My wife’s halibut was extraordinary, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and melt in your mouth nice. My lobster roll, which was listed as a very popular dish there, was good. The lobster itself was very tasty, but for me, as a lobster roll it was too bready. The bun was nice and freshly baked but was heavy and thick. In fact for the first time in my life I didn’t finish the bun. Aside from that, the oysters and sides were excellent.

    My husband and I have been coming here every weekend for brunch/lunch in the summer for years. We love this place and have recommended it to our friends! It brings us back to the South of France. The maitre’d Terry is fantastic and accommodating. Michael is our favorite server at this place hands down. My husband calls him “smiley” sometimes because he is always smiling and always in a great mood. You can’t help but to be in a great mood. The music and the overall ambience is chill. The food is excellent! Best French onion soup amd french toast ever! We recommend the Madame Croque, moule frittes and pomegranate martini too! We will keep on coming back!

    THIS IS A PLACE TO AVOID. Single worst dining experience I've had in a long time. We were seated for our 6pm reservation. By 6:15 no one had greeted us. We flagged down a bus person for some water. After 20 minutes, I had to get up from the table and ask the host if we had a server. He said he would find the server. No apology for the wait. The server finally arrived - no apology for taking so long to arrive. "Do you want to order food?" Huh, maybe so. The first course arrives before we even get our drinks. We ask about our drinks - "Yeah they'll be out soon". Finally got those. Appetizers were fine, not great. Dinner arrived and was decidedly mediocre. I had the salmon. Part way through the salmon I realize the thicker part is raw in the middle. Since we hadn't seen our waiter in a while I flagged down the host. He asked if I wanted something else. NO APOLOGY. He did take it off the bill. About 15 minutes after my friend had finished dinner we were finally asked if we wanted the bill. We then paid the bill using the ApplePay option they provided. After we walked out the front door the water chased us down the boardwalk to accuse us of not paying. I showed him my receipt. I've worked in restaurants for years. This was simply appalling. An apology for failures in service or food goes a very long way with me as this is a tough business. The two people we dealt with just didn't seem to care. This place pretends to be fine dining and is a real disappointment.

    This place is struggling. There were clearly not enough waiters or support staff. Waiters were literally running between tables which created a very tense atmosphere. It was nearly impossible to get their attention. We were originally seated at an indoor table that was surrounded by flies. They'd come in through the outside doors and no one bothered to try to clear them out. It was disgusting. While we did move, the hostess was NOT happy about it. My daughter is allergic to dairy and was chastised when she asked which entrees had no dairy. The waiter said, "It won't taste as good without the dairy so if you don't like it that's on you." We've been to Avenue dozens of times, so it's sad to see how far it's fallen.
