    We were delighted in every way with Deux Ave: fabulous food, delightful service, great table, and lovely ambiance. The halibut and ravioli entrees were delicious and beautifully presented. The chocolate soufflé we shared was elegantly presented and perfect. The sommelier was gracious in discussing our wine options (a great affordable selection). Though we’ve enjoyed dining at Deux Ave in the past, this last visit was the best, we can’t wait to return!

    Hadn't been here in years. Very reasonable prices, entrees under $20! Fun place for our group. Waitress was very nice, The food was very good overall. My lobster quesadillas were quite yummy but portion was small, more like an appetizer. Steak fahitas was good, steak not very tender tough and skimpy on rice/ beans. Tacos were enjoyed by 2 of our party. Mexican lasagna was a bit too spicy for the person who got it, and she didn't realize it was a vegetarian dish though ingredients were listed. , maybe should label. Chicken fahitas was generous portion and enjoyed by the party who got them. The flan was good but a bit dense.
