   Decent food but not significantly impressive as anticipated with a Michelin star chef. The NY steaks were good for the price but overall both dishes were somewhat salty. I had the NY steak with crispy artichokes and my husband ordered the Beef Duo. There wasn’t anything actually crispy on the artichoke dish as it sat in vinaigrette and bean puree to soften. The braised short ribs were the highlight of the Beef Duo dish. My husband had the Rattlesnake cocktail which was delicious and I ordered an extra dirty martini which the server misunderstood and brought an extra dry martini. Since it was my birthday, I ordered the toffee pudding to share. The pudding cake was served cold, and consistency seemed dry even with the dollop of ice cream that was placed on the top. Again, food was decent but not overwhelmingly impressive; especially for the Easter Sunday when you would think there would be a little more effort to impress. The atmosphere inside was nice and staff seemed friendly but with so many other establishments nearby, it is not a location I would be returning to immediately. My husband said he enjoyed his meal and would order the Duo again. But he indicated both the artichoke appetizer and dessert were not preferred.

   Our first experience at the Avery. It was excellent, we were there for Easter Brunch. Outstanding service and the food was excellent---french influenced and nicely prepared with unique selections like Baked eggs, as well as traditional offerings, prepared wonderfully.

   Probably the best brunch we’ve had is years. Food, drinks, service, and ambience all top tier.

   Food and service excellent. But as always noisy. I think if the music were turned down people would not have to yell at each other. Sadly to loud to treat our parents there.

   This was one of the best meals of my life. My friend was also extremely pleased with her food. The quality and portions were amazing. Staff was friendly and attentive but didn’t hover which I love. I’ll be dreaming of this place until I go back again!

   The food at The Avery is always delicious although a little pricey. The larger problem is the service. It's sadly some of the slowest service so be prepared for long waits on drinks in particular and sometimes your food. We had our whole meal comped after waiting an hour for our food. My dish came out but sat getting cold for 20" before my son and husband got theirs. There was no conversation from our server or anyone until I asked the manager I happened to see walking by. We gave them another try last night, we really appreciated them comping our meal after such bad service. The service was better last night, our food came fairly quickly but the extra touch just isn't there. Our drinks sat empty for quite awhile, we had to flag a waiter down to order more. Once we did order more, 2 came fairly quickly while the 3rd person didn't get their drink until after he had finished his dinner. We were also given dessert menus but then never checked back in with to see if we wanted dessert. The food and ambience are great, hopefully The Avery can get their service dialed in.

    We went for brunch and the food was good but nothing special. The atmosphere is really nice though.
