Avenue Kitchen Reviews Summary

Food Quality

• "Great selection of tasty food."
• "The food was very tasty and fresh."
• "Food was prepared masterfully."
• "I love the depth of flavor in the soups; the in season freshness of the salads; perfectly cooked fries every time."
• "The food is excellent, and the mimosas are fantastic."
• "Breakfast is to die for. I dream about their pancakes and creme brûlée waffle and it never disappoints."

Cons:

• "The scallops were still raw and on the small side. The dish costs 26 dollars and the portion was very small."
• "The three egg omelette with two cheeses (one of which was not included, in my opinion) and sausage (which was very difficult to find) was grotesquely priced at $19."
• "Tomato and cheese omelette tasted like water."
• "The Latkes were drenched in oil and greasy, almost like they had been either deep fried or sautéed in deep oil."
• "All I could taste is crunchy, burnt potatoes."
• "The French toast was so sweet she could not finish it, and the bacon extremely greasy."
• "The hash that I ordered was a little lackluster when it came to flavor."

Cons:

• "The service here was abysmal, my friends and I waited nearly half an hour before we were spoken only for the food to be mediocre."
• "Server staff very nice but when I let the server know about the oily latke and showed the grease on my plate, I simply got an 'okay,' which to say the least is a bit of a strange response."
• "Service was so slow. It took over an hour and 15 minutes for us to order, get our food, and then pay."
• "The service was extremely slow. They were courteous and attentive, but for whatever reason, it took nearly an hour to be served breakfast after ordering."
• "We sat for a good 45 minutes before someone came over to check on us (not our waitress) & for them to let us know that order slips were lost in the kitchen."
• "Service was awful."
• "We waited impossibly long for someone to take our order, despite 6-8 servers just hanging around in the back."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Aesthetically pleasing."
• "Clean and modern interior design."
• "Classy atmosphere, great selections, reasonable pricing."
• "The restaurant itself is very nice, modern, and sleek. It has a center city vibe to it."

Cons:

• "Space is very tight and noisy."
• "The front of house looks nice but the kitchen is DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
• "There was mold in our water decanter. Several spots throughout the bottle and floating in the water."
• "It looked like my friend's teapot hadn't been cleaned out before they put her tea bag in."
• "Area where we were eating not cleaned (crumbs all over), water they served tasted very moldy."
• "I saw uncooked frozen fries on the floor in big containers, the kitchen is dirty, flies everywhere and just absolute mess!"
• "Cups and silverware were almost all dirty."

Value

Pros:

• "We each spent about $20 including tip."
• "Avenue Kitchen is a hidden gem with delicious food, helpful service, and reasonable prices."
• "They have a robust menu with food and drinks ranging from espresso and teas to alcohols - mixed drinks, wine, etc."

Cons:

• "Very pricey."
• "The prices are outrageous....two eggs are $10."
• "The service is really poor here and the prices are so high like $5 for bacon!"
• "Only burger is a bacon cheddar burger with fries called 'Million dollar burger' for $14. It's just an over priced burger you could get at outback for $10."
• "It’s a nice place. Nice setting but for $31.00 for coffee & waffles it’s a bit pricey."
• "For an avocado eggs Benedict its 20 freakin dollars for 2 poached eggs on toast with some slabs of avocado and little bit of hollandaise."
• "Wouldn't think a hamburger, chicken sandwich, french fries, and beer should be that difficult, especially for 55.00."
