   We discovered L’Avenue during our trip in September, and it made it to our must do list for this trip. The owner of L’Avenue is also part owner of Papillion, which we also love. My husband is a fan of dark beer, and this being a Belgian restaurant, he had a great assortment to choose from. No appetizers, as we were saving room for dessert! I had the Baby Sole, which was deboned by Heidi, the owner, tableside. Husband had the Bavette Steak Frites which was great. Our server was Cedric, and although he was fairly new to the restaurant, he was attentive without hovering, and took excellent care of us. We had had a lovely conversation with Heidi back in September, and as she was moving thru the dining room, told her we would also be harassing her shortly for an order of Crepe Suzette which she also prepares tableside. It is just an amazing variation of this dessert, and I highly recommend. We may even stop by after dinner tonight for another order and a drink. The restaurant is still fairly new, but so far everything from the greeters at the podium, to the servers, to the owner, to the food and drink has been great, and this is now I. Our regular rotation. L’Avenue is located just across from the Holiday Inn, in the same area as Patricia’s and the Vue Rooftop. If you are looking for a new restaurant to add to your list, this one gets 4.5-5 stars!

   Beautiful location with delicious seabass. Although, I experienced a slight sense of urgency when the server inquired about the check. Ideally, I prefer to be the one to request it. Despite the nearly empty establishment, I felt as though there was a desire for me to leave, even though I had only been there for less than 40 minutes. I would have appreciated the opportunity to enjoy my slightly overpriced 5oz glass of wine in a more leisurely manner. Somewhat disappointed by the overall experience.

   The restaurant offered delicious food, exceptional service with a smile, and a great atmosphere. Annie, the bar woman, and the servers provided attentive and professional service. The experience was highly recommended with 5 star plus food and service.

    We had a very nice evening with great food (the Belgium Stews) and the service was attentive and able to explain dishes and answer any questions. CJ made it possible to enjoy dinner at our pace, asking when we wanted our dinner or wait a little and enjoy our wine. No rushing.
