Very underwhelmed. I attended Avenue as part of a hosted event. The appetizers provided were a potato chip with a dollop of cream cheese dip and a piece of smoked tuna, and a piece of Melba toast with a dollop of avocado and a slice of pepper. I felt these were appetizers that you would serve in college, not at a restaurant in Clayton. My salad was fine. I got roasted chicken for dinner and it was cooked well but very basic, it was covered in aus jus and served with rice pilaf and broccoli. The rice and broccoli were exactly like the frozen broccoli and rice pilaf that you'd pick up at the grocery store and cook in the microwave. Additionally the TV in our room wasn't working so we had to watch the presentation from our phones. I expected more from a restaurant in Clayton.

We really enjoyed our evening at Avenue. Jazz was an amazing server.
Food used to be consistently good, especially certain entrées such as the boneless short ribs that have been a mainstay. I rotated between that and the fresh fish of the day which was also routinely good - However, the past two experiences have been disappointing in terms of both entrées being dry/overcooked (one dine in and one takeout). The normally very tender short ribs were terribly dry and tough/hard to chew, to the point that I couldn’t eat the majority. The last fish entrée that I ordered was a mahi mahi, nice preparation with shiitake mushrooms but the fish was dry. My friend ordered the duck and it was overcooked and grisly so she didn’t eat much of it. Wait staff friendly and helpful so hope that the previous quality returns.

Friendly service and delicious food. You pleasantly surprised us when you accommodated party of 9 (with 5 kids) Saturday evening. Everyone was extremely helpful and nice. Kids had many choices from their menu. Adults had full cocktail bar and wine list. Not often I can have roasted duck - here it was done to perfection. My wife is now big fan of Carolina Cobia - that fish was done impeccably. And don’t forget to try dessert - from sugar cookies to chocolate cake - you will love it!

Prices too high for the taste and portions. Dessert in ramekins for $13. Server didn’t respond to complaint properly… onion soup tasteless…

I’m not a fancy person but I wouldn’t turn down a dinner here with some coworkers. Very attentive service. Excellent food! Everyone enjoyed their meals, and you can tell they prepare their food with care and attention. I ordered the schnitzel and really enjoyed it!
It's my favorite place to take myself on a selfie date night. This place speaks for itself! The staff is fabulous & always welcoming. They really make the place. The food is delicious & consistent. I'm absolutely addicted to the green beans. The chef is engaging & professional. The atmosphere is relaxing & inviting. It feels like home away from home. The amount of regulars that frequent Avenue is a sign of the tight knit, family vibes that you get from being there. I have never once found myself bored or without intriguing & amazing conversations.
Do yourself the favor & check it out! Doesn't matter where you sit, you're going enjoy yourselves, the food, & the drinks, & the service will not disappoint!

Hidden gem. Great date night. Had the trout for main dish, shrimp appetizer, oysters, and bread pudding. All outstanding. Drinks were great and the staff especially the bar tender were fantastic. Will be back for sure.

This restaurant did not leave a lasting impression on me. Felt like the food was too overpriced for the quality. The gazpacho was just alright to me. The pasta was better, but again, not worth the price. The food also took a while to come out. However, our servers were very wonderful. They were super helpful, super attentive, and their personalities made our experience better.

This restaurant is the best place I’ve ever been because of the amazing steak and elite peppercorn sauce. Also the service was great, the bartender was funny and made me a special cocktail, the waiters were kind and helpful (shout out to Michael, Meredith, Makesh, Vicky and Claudia ) for making our night amazing. As well as all this the chef even came out to check that we liked it.
