A really special place in Rumford, Chef Nick is a Celebrity Chef that gets it all right. The space itself is on the smaller side, but it may just seem that way with every packed in eating the delicious food. Reservations may be needed given the activity - but then great things are worth the wait. Every time my Wife and I have gone here, we have never left disappointed. Some standout dishes we've enjoyed are fresh grilled salmon over a bed of potato gnocchi and tomato sauce, braised shortrib over the best mashed potatoes, and a beautiful grilled chicken thigh over the same mashed potatoes. In case you didn't realize, his mashed potatoes are amazing and dream-like. A fantastic spot to enjoy some quality food! read more

What a great place to enjoy a delicious dinner, al fresco, with friendly and attentive waitstaff! So enjoyed the salmon dinner! It was perfectly cooked and so tasty, along with the kale and orzo - just perfect! read more

What a hidden gem! Was in the area for work and decided to stop by for dinner. The interior is adorable and modern with plenty of outdoor seating as well. I ordered the eggplant and lentil cassoulet and to be honest had no clue what it would end up being when it came out. It was a pleasant surprise to say the least! Not to mention the large portion size and super fast and friendly service. My friend ordered the burger and wolfed down the fries faster than I've ever seen before - he said they were the greatest. Definitely stop by for dinner - you won't be disappointed! read more

Came for brunch with a girlfriend of mine this morning and really liked it here. Nestled in between The Pantry and a Seven Stars Bakery, it's a quaint little spot. It's on the bottom level of the Rumford Center - a loft/mill apartment complex, which must be a nice plus for residents! I had the eggs Benedict - nice thick slices of ham, well poached eggs and hollandaise balanced it out nicely. My gf had an omelet - wild mushroom, caramelized onions and fontina. I took a bite of her omelet as I was between ordering that or my dish. I loved both - hers slightly more! Both dishes came with home fries, a mix of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes with a bit of onions, which I could've done without. I thought this was a nice change from the typical home fries you usually get at most breakfast spots. Coffee wasn't anything special - tasted like coffee. =) The place itself is a bit narrow but cute and comfy inside. The tables are a bit close to each other, probably to maximize occupancy for such a small space - but the hostess was smart enough to sit people at every other table to allow a bit of privacy. We went when they first opened and tables were already starting to fill up. Parking can get pretty scarce and chances are you will end up parking on the street, unless you get lucky! Our waiter was very nice and our food came out fairly quickly after we ordered. The only thing that took a little while was refills for coffee but other than that, no complaints. I would def love to come back and check them out for lunch or dinner. read more

Avenue N - Eggs Benedict with some yummy home fries - no need for scallion garnish. - New American Near Me - Rumford, Rhode Island

Had brunch at Avenue N with a few friends. We were lucky enough to get a table on the patio on the perfect weather day and spent hours there hanging out and talking. The wait staff did not rush us or pressure us to order more. The food was excellent. Especially enjoyed the lemon ricotta donuts! Yum! read more

Condescending, Patronizing Attitude from the Waitress is Not Something That I Expected But, Occurred! Waitress Actually Said When Asked a Question: Read Along from Menu With Me So You Better Understand What It Says." Risotto and New Bedford Scallops Lukewarm and Not Hot! Tomato Buerre Blanc bland! This is a Relatively Small Restaurant Operating at 25% Capacity--The Food Should Come Out Hot from The Kitchen! Underwhelming! Drinks Not Flavorful but, Strong! Waitress Did Not Refill H2O in Timely Manner. Long Wait Time to Get Check Reconciled! Would Return for Takeout but Not Sitdown Dinner! 3 Stars at Best! read more

Food was excellent. Fresh, tasty and unique. Service very good but it is loud and so only reason I did not give 5 stars. Difficult to talk and relax due to noise level and tables close together but I'd definitely go back. read more

Nice spot. Good food, good drinks, good service. We try to make it there a few times a year. Two thumbs up.

Reliably tasty. Locally sourced. I continue to come back because it is the most quality-driven experience, without the uppityness of a finer-dining establishment. Whether in Rumford, or Providence, the cocktails have kick (not watered down) and the service spectacular. The Rabars are personable and their restaurants show they care about the relationship between life and food. Ironic twist, the creatives behind Avenue N inspire one to eat outside his or her comfort zone, while serving up excellently executed edible comforts of home. read more

Went on a Sunday eve & easily slid into bar seats w a cheerful, attentive bartender ready to get our experience started. Dined on the crispy Kung pow Brussel sprouts, the steak & cheese flatbread pizza (get this!), & happily received our sexy grass fed bacon cheese burger spilt for us w a generous portion of ceasar salad in replacement for the typical fries. Great service. Delicious food. Super reliable establishment. It's no wonder they have do many regulars. read more

Sunday night. Turned away from a few places and was about to call it a night. My review is similar to all of the previous great ones! Outstanding staff? Check! Excellent drink menu? Check! Appetizer excellence? Check! Dinner? Wow!!! Candle lit chocolate mousse for dessert. ( birthday dinner). Winner!!! Just an all round delivery of a great evening. It was was outdoor dining! The owner does a great job here! read more

I enjoyed my dinner here! If I were to go back I would stick with just getting appetizers they were the highlight of the meal for me. The standouts to me were the mac and cheese with the corn dog! I could have just gotten that for my meal. I also had the duck sliders which were good but all you could taste was chili. There could have been any type of meat in there and I wouldn't have known the difference. You really couldn't even taste the egg on top of them! For the main course we had the short ribs. My friend loved the cheddar grits that came with it, but to me all I could taste was the green onion no hint of cheddar for me. The short rib itself was excellent it was really tender and pretty much melted in your mouth. For dessert we tried out the homemade banana split sundae. They bruleed the bananas and they were delicious. The waitress made a mention of the homemade hot fudge but they really went light with it, I would have liked quite a bit more. There were also some type of roasted cherry or something along those lines. Overall I would definitely go back, but stick with the appetizers! read more

Always delicious and friendly service. I recommend Avenue N to everyone looking for a special night out

This is my third time that I have been to this establishment. Unfortunately, we could not get past the appetizer. We ordered the shrimp dim sum - it was very fishy and salty. We did not eat it and sent it back without an issue. The drinks were spot on. However, my experience with the appetizer made me doubt my decision to have dinner there. The menu was not very exciting either - so we left. read more

Excellent food and friendly service Pleasant atmosphere with a neighborly feel. American cuisine read more

Went here for brunch and liked it a lot. Glad we went right when they opened on a Sunday because I could tell they were gonna be slammed so def make reservations! Started with the ricotta lemon donuts for the table and I say that's a must for anyone going! So yummy and perfect to share. I had the blueberry pancakes and they were so big! I could only eat half. The French that photos online made us skeptical of the portion sizes but the waiters assured us it was big so my friend got it and she loved it and I posted a better photo that makes it look less skimpy than the previous photos on here! The atmosphere was cozy and tastefully decorated for Xmas. The pantry was closed though and that stunk cuz I was hoping to look around for Christmas! This is a def recommendation and I think I'd like to try them for dinner some time. read more

Though the restaurant is small they do a great job of serving customers very quickly. the wait staff were incredibly fast and attentive. The restaurant itself is small but they have outdoor seating during the nice weather. parking is limited as well so I'd recommend going early. The menu isn't huge but they do offer a variety of meal options. Overall I was pleasantly surprised and look forward to visiting again. read more

Excellent food! My omelet was light and fluffy, filled with tasty chourico and peppers, and served with homefries and Seven Stars sourdough. My son's smoked salmon was fresh, served with plenty of fixins, and on an excellent bagel. We definitely could have used more attentive service though. We waited a long time for someone to acknowledge we had been seated. Then another wait to order drinks. When we went to leave the hostess ended up taking our check for us as she saw we were once again waiting for assistance. They do accept reservations through their website and have outdoor seating. read more

Delicious food and a fun atmosphere. Definitely not budget eating (but I wasn't expecting it to be and the food was worth it). Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the drinks my group got were all enjoyed. I'd go back for the onion soup alone. read more

Glad we came across this restaurant while visiting Providence, RI. Food was delicious and price was really decent. Service was friendly and quick. Salmon was perfectly cooked. Steak was tender. Fried Oysters were tasty. Even the pizza was good! Highly recommend! read more

Eggplant Parmesan Lasagna is a showstopper (and I don't really care for eggplant). Service is always good . Small place but always good

Nice dining option in Rumford center, had a great community feel, portions are large.

This isn't the BEST part about the place, but it's pretty high up there: they take reservations! Their menu is awesome - thoughtful and not overloaded. Heavy on vegetables, the portions aren't huge, but they're filling. GET the donut holes - seriously good. The drinks are always solid (I like Mimosas but they offer other cocktails) and the staff is fantastic. Be prepared for a relaxing meal with your family. It's small and comfortable. Plenty of parking is offered as well! read more

Went for dinner last night for the first time. Sat at the bar -attended by a friendly bartender. Walking in we immediately liked the vibe of the restaurant - it's also in a cool brick building with a Seven Stars bakery next door. The food was absolutely delicious and distinct from dishes we've had in other places. The fried oysters for example came on the half shell with a delicious mustard sauce - just a beautiful presentation. My husband had the chicken dish and I had the eggplant lasagna topped with lemon ricotta and vodka sauce - i absolutely scraped every bit off the plate !! We will be back ! read more

Great service and food at this cozy little neighborhood bistro in Rumford. It checks all the boxes for Rhode Island good food: local? Check. Farm fresh? Check. Flavorful? Check. The warm service here is competent and gracious. Been here off and on for years and I've never had a bad meal. I would recommend reservations tho bc this place can have long waits at busy times. One of the better restaurants in this neck of the woods. read more

Firstly, and this is on me...why don't I come here all the time? EVERY time...without fail, it's an absolutely perfect, unforgettable meal and for some reason I always FORGET about this tiny place, tucked into the fold of East Providence and Pawtucket. It's affordable, approachable and indulgent food served by highly empathetic and energetic folks. They have great beers, refreshing cocktails and a sizable wine list, which presumably changes frequently. (It's changed each time we're in) With regard to their 2019 summer menu, the lobster and chorizo empanadas, smoked lamb nachos, scallops and risotto, cream corn soup and BBQ pizza are all must. Try items even if it takes a few times to get them all in. (They're all fairly substantial and filling portions/options. Call ahead as I did today and the owner will take your call, reserve your table and greet you at the door. Love this place. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious. My favorites are the Margarita Pizza and Eat Your Greens Pizza. The sirloin with Au Poirve sauce is pretty good too! Great neighborhood restaurant to have cocktails and tasty entrees! read more

Best food, cozy and intimate atmosphere and great service. Their pizza is also my favorite for take out.

I love this place. The food quality is consistent and awesome. The Avenue N burger is amazing! I've had other dishes and they are all good. The staff is always friendly and the service is great. Check it out! read more

6:30 reservations on Saturday in a snowstorm. Place was packed so just that alone tells you something about the place. Great menu, great drinks, service was good. Efficient, not too intrusive, friendly. Now the food. Wow! Apps were good, korean egg rolls and calamari. But the entrees... We all got different entrees. I had the scallopss /risotto, perfect sear, creamy risotto. Hubs had the bolognese, friends had the burger and a chicken dish. All very delish. The fries and burger reminded me of Bistro 22's burger (which if you are going to blow your diet go get that burger!). Only downside is the noise level. The acoustics of the place is a minus star, high ceilings +tile floor+metal chairs, add a crowd and its deafening. Will definitely go again to try the other dishes on the menu . read more

Excellent although the menu is limited there is always something for everyone, love the short ribs and they have one of the best burgers in RI. Plan your visit seating is limited read more

Avenue N is such a great spot! I've been twice for dinner, and each time was just really fantastic! It's one of those places that has a nicely cultivated menu with one beef option, one chicken option, one salmon option, etc. but everything is wonderfully thought out and strategically made to compliment all of the flavors of the dish. My group had the white bean cassoulet and a cocktail to start. The cassoulet was good, but I wouldn't recommend splitting four ways as my group did - not enough food for that! We ordered a couple of cocktails - I can't remember the name of the drinks, but one was a mezcal mixed drink with a sugar/salt rim and it was smokey and delectable. My husband got the fig and vanilla bourbon concoction and it was so good we ended up ordering another! For meals, we ordered the pumpkin pizza, porcini gnocchi, the salmon with lentils and golden beets, and the scallops on corn risotto. Everything was phenomenal! Well executed and absolutely delicious. We also had dessert. We were feeling glutinous. My husband and I split the warm chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream and our friends had the flourless chocolate torte. Everything was divine! I'll be back soon for more (strong) cocktails, wonderful food, and attentive service. read more

Such a great spot! Wonderful service every single time. The food is consistently outstanding, and the drinks are delicious! I Love taking my family here when they are visiting from out of town, as they are always very impressed.. (but when it's just my husband and I, we enjoy sitting at the bar). I highly recommend their pizzas! read more

Food and service is excellent. when you make a reservation, make sure you make inside! We sat outside, table far from entrance, barely any light. Basically in a parking lot. read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. Ever since Timmy's and Pizza Gourmet closed I have been looking for a perfect grilled pizza. I am so excited that I have found it. My husband and I got three pizzas for Friday take out. The Buffalo eggplant, margherita , and the mushroom. They were all amazing. Perfectly cooked with a nice crunchy but not overly crunchy crust. The margherita was my favorite. The sauce is so yummy and they gave me a huge bowl of extra sauce on the side. We got the steak on the side of the mushroom pizza since we both don't eat meat and my maltipoo puppy devoured it. I will definitely be eating at Avenue N often ! read more
