This place has been on my list for a while and we decided to close out the holiday season by treating ourselves. Everything as excellent. The food, the service, the atmosphere. The staff worked together seamlessly. It was great to see. The meal was paced too so we could take out time and enjoy ourselves. Our server was Maggie G and she was excellent. We started with the crab cake. Perfect crunch and so much crab. I got the ribeye with parsley potatoes as my side. I was very happy with how tender and delicious my steak was. Potatoes were yum. Wife got the porchoo and cream spinach. Both also delish. We will be back.
Our hostess, Megan, was genuinely exceptional—warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly attentive without ever interrupting the flow of our evening. She checked in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed while still giving us plenty of space to enjoy a quiet anniversary dinner. The food was outstanding across the board, and the atmosphere struck that rare balance of upscale and relaxed. It felt classy without being stuffy, and the dining room had a calm, comfortable energy. We went at 7:45 p.m. on a Monday, which turned out to be the ideal time: not crowded, not loud, and perfect for a special night out. Overall, a fantastic experience.
Wedding Anniversary Dinner! Salads & Rolls were Great & the mixed Drinks are Strong! Porterhouse Steak was ordered at Medium & it was more Medium Rare. But it was seasoned, juicy, tender & super yummy! Lamb Chops were ordered at Medium. They are 4, but come out as double Chops. When I cut them apart, they were RAW from top to bottom. Fat not rendered out. Completely inedible. Sent them back. This mishap made it so that hubby & I couldn't eat together, which is what you hope to do for an Expensive night out! They put my Chops in pan, raw side down, but Didn't bother to Season the raw meat. No caramelization was achieved & sadly it was not tasty until I doused them Wth Salt & Pepper from table. At $57.99 for this meal, I'd be sure to tell them to be properly cook them together or separate & season both sides! Or season on raw side & hot pan sear! We Love Cameron Mitchell restaurants & will eventually try them all. Our waiter, Luke is attractive & intelligent! Kind, courteous & attentive! He said the Desserts are handmade by a pastry chef. They were good. But Any Creme Brulee pleases my hubby. For me, the cheesecake lacked flavor, body & density, like you expect from a NY Cheesecake. Sour Cherry topping paired well with the cheesecake. Music is eclectic. Amy Winehouse, Lionel Richey, Louis Armstrong, Big Band & Italian songs.
Yes: The Avenue lands in the top spot for Best Overall Dining Experience & Steakhouse east of the Mississippi. There’s a reason some places are staples of the community and the entire state… the kind of place that provides proud service, highest of chefs effort, with impeccable plating. The location presents one of the highest-end, yet comfortable environments you’ll experience.. Make reservations, and go ready to try the green beans appetizer! There’s about 25-30 beans on the plate, and that’s enough for a table of 6.. had to know the count! Kids menu gets an up-charge of abt ten dollars but the portions are just right for the kids, so stick to it. The adult meals are fabulous, fantastic, fresh, fine dining! Could cut both sides of the porterhouse with a fork. No more rambling on, end score is- go here once, and you’ll make it a tradition!
My recent visit to The Avenue was nothing short of incredible, and I can confidently say that Ryan and the rest of the team absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for what turned out to be a flawless dining experience. Let’s start with the food—every dish was expertly prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether it was the appetizers or the main course, each bite was a testament to the skill and passion of the chefs. The ingredients were fresh, the portions generous, and the creativity in the menu was truly impressive. As for the drinks, they were just as outstanding. The cocktails were expertly crafted, with a perfect balance of flavors that complemented the meal wonderfully. The wine selection was also top-notch, offering great pairings for every course. But what really made the experience unforgettable was the service. Ryan himself was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His enthusiasm and dedication elevated the entire meal. In short, this place is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food, exceptional drinks, and outstanding service. I can’t recommend it enough—10/10 in every way!
