It was my mother's birthday and she chose this place. I checked the reviews and immediately knew this was not worth the visit. I made an OpenTable reservation, but this does not have a system to check in these reservations, but use a notebook. Don't understand why they're here yet. The manager I think led us to a remote area in the back there was another table, so it really felt lonely : . Anyway, we all arrived and the server w/a tattoo on his arm did not imagine) lacking service so much I wanted to complain, but I did not want to ruin the day. The server would ignore all the guys, even if they were longer there and the women ask for drinks, and one thing he went on to take instead of all drinks orders at once. It probably took half an hour to get drinks. I got her new bright beer, which was good, another person got a goose butter and it was too flat for tasting, we had to send it back to the switching point twice. Then we ordered three appetizers: goat cheese fondue, Calamari and something with vegetables. The Calamari was so depressing NOT WORTH IT. It was gummy and tiny like popcorn chicken! The presentation was terrible. The goat cheese fondue also depressed 5 sliced pieces of bread with a bowl of cheese. Then our entrees came, everyone enjoyed their food, which was good, but it didn't wake me, or anyone else. The server came once to check on us and then MIA. Once we finished with our entrees, we waited for the server to hopefully ask ourselves if we want dessert. Not even he mentioned Dessert, but he gave us many times. I had to throw him down and ask if they did something for a day. I ordered my mother a chocolate slice and it was delicious, then we order bread pudding, which was good. Overall, I would never come back unless I drink. It has more a bar atmosphere than anything else. I would not recommend this place for a special occasion.
Not sure why you are able to make a reservation for Avenue Ale House via Open Table. My friend who first arrived said there was no reservation. Then he was asked if we did it on Open Table, and they said they didn't make the reservations through Open Table. There are many restaurants that do not use Open Table, so they should really remove their restaurant if they do not want irritated customers.
The food was greed. Side salad was tasty salad and crumb. Was enthusiastic for vegetarian options ordered the Portobello panini and it was mostly goat cheese and paprika and minimal mushroom.
Our waiter, Gabriel, was great, but the food wasn't great. My Spinat Dip was nothing but oil from the cheese and they were from many menu items.
