Ambience was very nice.Tiniest piece of cheese was served. Quite underwhelming.Service was good!!The beer menu was interesting and I had their AvlingIPA- was okay, I have had better.

Their beers are amazing, but service is incredibly slow! We’ve been 3 times and it’s just always slow. Today we came in for a beer, waited (I kid you not) 25 minutes before someone FINALLY came by and took our order. Unbelievable. We will only come back if we have a ton of time. This isn’t a place where you can be in and out in an hour. Restaurant was 60% capacity. Servers were unorganized. I dunno. Just disappointed because we love the beer which is not cheap.

Trish attention to detail was beautiful to watch, will be coming again. Hopefully we get to see her again thanks??
Great beer and even better service. The manager Trish went above and beyond, recommending delicious food and drinks, accommodating our dietary restrictions, and providing overall excellent customer service. Will definitely be back!

We made a reservation for dinner for 4 people. I love the atmosphere of the dining room/tasting room at the Avling. It's large and open and has great lighting. The benches were very comfortable. I would ask that you get chairs that are more accessible for people in larger bodies.The food was awesome, we ended up getting 3 orders of the Brussels sprouts. I had a burger and my companions had the scallops, pizza and onion rings. We shared the sticky toffee pudding, which was phenomenal.It was fun trying the beers, I'm a particular fan of sours so I was happy to see so many of them on tap.I would definitely come here again!

Stopped in for Sunday brunch for the first time in a while, and was sadly not impressed.We ordered the smash burger and the fried chicken sandwich, along with a side of fries since the fried chicken sandwich doesn’t come with anything on the side.The burger was quite good - great bun, nicely seasoned patty, generous amount of crispy bacon, and a very tasty secret sauce. Fries were also delicious, perfectly golden and crisp.However, the rest of the meal just didn’t live up to expectations. When I asked for vinegar for my fries, it came out in a little metal ramekin rather than a proper bottle, making it difficult to properly sprinkle on my fries. And the fried chicken is inexplicably served between two slices of heavily toasted brioche, which makes it too thick to just pick up and eat, but also too awkward to eat with knife and fork. It’s just a hot mess of a sandwich.The worst part of the meal, though? The side of plain fries cost $8. So be warned… if you want fries, just order fancy fries they have on the menu that come topped with cheese and served with a side of aioli, since they cost exactly the same.Overall there’s lots of room to improve. I know there have been some changes in the kitchen in recent months, hopefully the team can find their groove soon.
