In all fairness service was great. The beef Wellington ; yummy. It is not made to order I paid $70 for re heated left overs from god knows when. It just shows a lack of skill on the part of the chef read more

This was my first trip to Regina and man, am I glad my wife and I came here to eat. Everything from the food and cocktails to the service to the general decor and vibe of this place were superb. My wife was celebrating her birthday so we indulged in a chef curated four course meal with wine and cocktail pairings and everything was an absolute hit. For our meal, the courses were structured with a few appetizers for the first course, a pasta dish for the second, a fish entree (I requested no red meats) and then a dessert to top it all off. Our appetizers included the house whipped ricotta, the heirloom tomato and compressed melon salad and the seared albacore tuna. I have to say, I've never had melon as good as the melon in the tomato and melon salad. The depth of flavor they achieved with by compressing it with oils and herbs was remarkable, I would come back for that alone and I normally don't like melon. The seared tuna was exceptional, as was the whipped ricotta. All of this was paired with a light sparkling citrus cocktail, which I unfortunately cannot remember what it had in it, but it was my personal favorite of the night. For the pasta course, we had an agnolotti pasta that was filled with what I believe was a delicious ricotta filling and a light tomato sauce, paired with a Cabernet Sauvignon. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was fresh and herbaceous and it was the right amount to leave you satisfied, but not feeling too full. The cab sauv wasn't over oaked, like most California cabs, but still had that traditional peppery cab sauv taste that paired so well with the pasta sauce. Our main entree was the la ronge walleye paired with a Sauvignon Blanc. The walleye and potatoes were delicious, however I did feel like the fish was overpowered by the spring pea velouté, which was unfortunate but personally, I'm not a massive fan of peas. However, if you like them, this is a great option and the quality of the walleye was top notch. The dessert course was a pistachio & coffee semifreddo with boozy cherries and the cocktail I would describe as sort of a play on an espresso martini, but way better. Both were fantastic! I was really able to detect the pistachio, which I assumed would be masked by the coffee, but I was pleasantly surprised. On top of that, we were also generously given an order of the madeleines for my wife's birthday and we absolutely adored them. They had a light citrus note to them that really enhanced the flavor. Our server was also excellent and very kind. We told him we were from the US and it was our first time in Regina and he gave us a bunch of recommendations for things to check out around the area. The four course meal and cocktails were a wonderful value for the price, I would highly recommend it and I'm excited to come here again! read more

Our most recent trip to Avenue was even better than our previous visits! The restaurant was very busy so clearly other people are also discovering their food. I really like what they have done with the interior. They have preserved the classic features of the former bank and updated it with partial walls and booths that reduce the echoes of the hard surfaces. We started with a round of their craft cocktails. The great ingredients and attention to flavours foreshadowed the food. The use of vintage glasses with contemporary cocktails seemed to reflect the idea of the classic interior updated with contemporary materials. I had the scallops to start. The sear was perfect and the sauce had a great balance of flavours and acid to complement the scallops. My entrée was the beef Wellington with a side of seared foie gras. The Wellington and foie gras were perfectly cooked. In some restaurants the sides are afterthoughts. At Avenue the creamed kale side was a delight. We paired a 2014 Chateau Beaucastel. It was a little cool straight from their cellar, but they decanted it and it opened up beautifully as it warmed. It has solid fruit flavours at its core with a little anise note. It is nicely balanced from start to its long finish. I ordered their new chocolate soufflé for dessert. It was very airy and lighter in flavour than other chocolate souffles I have had. I closed the meal with a glass of Penfolds Grandfather which is the perfect finish to a chocolate dessert. read more

What a great find! Beautifully prepared french cuisine in a modern atmosphere. The bartender created his signature cocktail while I awaited my beef Wellington . It was perfectly prepared and delicious. Had a raspberry soufflé for dessert.. again well prepared and beautifully prepared. Will come again when I come back to Regina. You must try this place! read more

The Grassroots Restaurant Group always brings an outstanding dining experience. Delicious cocktails, amazing food that is prepared to perfection and attention to service. This is the place to go in Regina. The ambience is also beautiful in this old building setting with sky high ceilings but paired with modern comfortable seating. Perfect for any special occasion. read more

We had the opportunity to attend a private event with chefs Nathan Guggenheimer, Dale McKay & Dustin Gallagher. The place was packed and ran efficiently with care for customers. The only reason I would give this 4 stars rather than 5 is that although the food was good, it wasn't surprising-- a little too comfortable for a high end culinary experience. read more

Loved this place. Food was delicious and nicely presented. Waitress was great and very helpful when asked what would pair well with the meat dish, the back ribs. Both the ribs and Brussels sprouts were wonderful. Overall had a wonderful meal and great service. read more

The meal was excellent although on the upper end of the price scale. The cocktails were absurdly priced and definitely not worth it. The meal was totally worth it though and our waiter was solid too. I'd recommend it to others. Hopefully they can keep the quality up as time passes. That's a big problem in Regina. read more

This is by far one of the best restaurants you will go to across Canada. The menu is diverse, interesting, packed with flavour. We sat at the kitchen bar and loved watching this great team with Chef Nathan st the pass. Don't pass this gem up!!! read more

Went to Avenue for the first time last night with a group of four people. We shared a couple appetizers and then each had a main. I ordered the pork chop with cream corn. It was the best pork chop I have ever had at a restaurant in Regina. Thank you for the sensational meal! We enjoyed ourselves!!! read more

Cocktails were good although super expensive, food was about average ordered steaks were both very undercooked, small portions, pasta and chicken dish were very average. Give it a try it's local. read more

This is the best place to eat in Regina. Their food is spectacular and their cocktails are game-changers

Excellent! Best to make reservations. We were walk ins but welcomed. We sat at counter and watched the food prepared. Enjoyed everything we ate! read more

Unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience. We arrived on time but our tables were not ready and the various staff didn't seem concerned about this issue. We were asked to wait in the hallway even though the bar counter was free and we just wanted a drink while we waited for our table. The tempura shrimp was more like pub fare than fine dining. Expensive as a dining establishment and not worth the expectation. read more

I felt like I wasn't even in Regina when dining here. Had the Beef Wellington, which was amazing. I have had Wellington at Gordon Ramsay's in Vegas and Gibby's in Montreal, and this was not shameful at all in comparison. Service was excellent, food was fantastic. Very impressive! read more

First time here and I was amazed that the bill included an 18% gratuity. There were 6 of us but it was really 3 couples each looking after our own bill. Our meals were mediocre at best, the service was great. I probably would have tipped more if I hadn't been forced into the 18% but I'm really pissed about the forced 18%. I will never be back to this restaurant ever! The quality certainly did not justify the restaurant imposed level of gratuity. Bottom line is I would never recommend this restaurant! read more

Huge disappointment. The plan was for a long boozy lunch date, having read that Avenue was a top 100 this year. We made our reservation to miss the lunch rush; it was moderately busy. We were first offered a table next to a large noisy group - no thought given whatsoever by the hostess - so we asked to sit on the other side of the banquette. She said "I'll see what I can do" and left us standing there while she went back to the reception desk. Seriously? Two back to back tables and she can't just say yes? Management, give your staff the power to make a decision. Of course she came back and said "yes". So far, OK. Next, the soul-less, never-a-smile waiter comes by to ask if we want bottled water. I guess this place cares not one bit for the environment. We asked for tap water, to which he made a grunt. Sure, Regina tap water isn't great, but then get a filter. He brought it in a green bottle that looked like it hadn't been washed - ever. He should have offered drinks at that time, but no, left that for another trip. They had some decent wines by the glass and we each had the same. Even though the bartender was pouring two glasses from the same bottle side by side, my husband got a full pour and mine was short. We both ordered the rotisserie chicken. No one needs a half a chicken for lunch, but it came with a salad and was unbelievably cheap. Wine was good. Next time the cutlery, which was set on the bare table. In many cities this is against the health code, and for good reason. I'd like to ask the management if they'd make it a habit to lick the table, because that's what you're asking your guests to do when you place their cutlery on the bare table. Put on on a side plate for God's sake. Zero eye contact from our server again. We counted, we had both smiled and tried to make eye contact with him a total of six times. Nothing. He spoke but he did not engage. How depressing. We had a look at the rest of the staff. Just like our server, none were relaxed, but almost looked scared. Is this one of those restaurants trying for a reputation at the expense of staff happiness? Just like the wine, our identical meals were different. My husband's was a beautiful golden brown, perfectly cooked, and mine was barely crisp on the outside and bloody at the bone. No matter, who needs half a chicken at lunch? It was also not carved, by this time we weren't surprised as the whole experience screamed "unprofessional". The meals were tasty enough, although it's easy to baste a bird in butter and throw on some fresh rosemary sprigs. We watched other tables being served in the same unwelcoming way, and even saw saw another table for two not having their meals served at the same time. Lame. our waiter didn't recognize what our parallel cutlery on our plates meant. He didn't ask if we wanted anything else, just shoved the "dessert" menu (which was the same as the wine list) on the corner of our table. All the desserts were as if they'd come off the children's menu, nothing to inspire. Finally, when I asked for the bill the waiter looked right at me and smiled. We were out in just over an hour. A very disappointing afternoon date. read more
