*extremely late post* Now, I don't usually give out 5 stars but since this was probably the best salmon I've ever tasted, it requires a very rating. Everything was top-notch. Oysters, Caesar salad, drinks, atmosphere, and service were all great. My lady wasn't a fan of her steak but she didn't order what she really wanted. She didn't want that skirt steak lol. Still gets 5 stars from me. Very likely to be my favorite restaurant now. I will have to visit again in order to confirm. Therefore, we will be back!

My recent visit to The Avenue was nothing short of incredible, and I can confidently say that Ryan and the rest of the team absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for what turned out to be a flawless dining experience. Let’s start with the food—every dish was expertly prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether it was the appetizers or the main course, each bite was a testament to the skill and passion of the chefs. The ingredients were fresh, the portions generous, and the creativity in the menu was truly impressive. As for the drinks, they were just as outstanding. The cocktails were expertly crafted, with a perfect balance of flavors that complemented the meal wonderfully. The wine selection was also top-notch, offering great pairings for every course. But what really made the experience unforgettable was the service. Ryan himself was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His enthusiasm and dedication elevated the entire meal. In short, this place is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food, exceptional drinks, and outstanding service. I can’t recommend it enough—10/10 in every way!

My boyfriend and I came here for our 1 year anniversary, the service and food was phenomenal. We got the green beans appetizer, warning red pepper flakes, slightly spicy. The Beef Tagliatelle melted in your mouth and was so filling. Lastly, they treated us to creme brule for dessert. We left extremely full and happy!

Their happy hour was brilliant serving with various appetizers, oysters, and steak bites. The deviled eggs tasted legit. The oyster melted immediately it was sent into my mouth. I could even not feel it. The steak was tender. I love their free bread the most, warm and delicious with cream. Anyway, the servers were amazing, always with big smiles. WiFi was fast. The place was decent and decorated well.

Can’t speak to their steak, but their HH is good stuff. And since we’re constantly searching for a happy hour with food and cocktails (which is rare to find a good variety together), we found The Avenue to have a fully satisfying happy hour. When I say we ordered almost one of everything on the HH menu (and it was all delish), I wish I was exaggerating, but I’m not. Our faves were the Parmesan green beans (appetizer) and the Bees Knees (cocktail).

We dined here for our 6 year anniversary dinner and could not have been happier with our choice. We were seated 15 minutes early for our 7pm reservation, and promptly given water. Our server Chandler was great. He took the time to explain the menu, specials and make recommendations for drinks. Throughout the evening he was very attentive and available, at the end of our meal he even boxed my leftovers and gave us a free dessert! I was more than impressed with the food. The rolls were soft and pillowy on the inside, but had a wonderfully crisp crust with just the right amount of salt. The tavern salad was truly refreshing too. The greens were crisp and fresh, the slightly sweet vinaigrette was perfectly mixed and the gorgonzola cheese was a fantastic compliment to it all. The beef stroganoff was absolutely divine. The sauce was one of the best I have ever had! The noodles were perfectly cooked and thick, there was plenty of tender beef and a generous amount of mushrooms. I came hungry and could only eat half of it too! I would order this over and over again! My fiance ordered the porterhouse with asparagus and a side of scallops. He raved about the scallops all night! He said they were the best he has had, even better than a seafood restaurants'. He enjoyed his steak as well, which was cooked just to his liking and seasoned nicely. He almost started chewing the bone to get the last bits of meat off! He said the asparagus had a light lemon and salt flavor. To finish the meal we chose the creme brulee. The crust was thick, the custard rich and the whole thing quite addictive. I would order it again for sure. Our meal, which had 2 cocktails too, came out to under 200 even with a 25% tip. We think it was certainty worth the price for the attentiveness of the staff and quality and flavors of the food we received. We are looking forward to coming back!

I’m obsessed with this place. I’ve been here about 4 times and every time the food and service is constantly amazing. I got the beef stroganoff and my boyfriend and Is go to, the banana pudding dessert. I could have eaten this pasta dish 4x over and still have craved more. I’m in trance from the delicious flavors I can’t even feel my feet. It brought me more joy than Christmas morning.
