    Stopped by on Saturday morning for breakfast. I had mushroom omelette, my friend had French Toast. I must say it was one of the best breakfast I had ever had. The omelette was cooked to Perfection full of mushrooms, the Fresh Toast was very yummy. Service was good. Street parking by meter, or free on the side of the library. The decor inside is like a farm house, wood tone & inviting.

    We had breakfast, sat outside which is always a win. The omelet was basic, I enjoyed the avocado toast. Our service was good.

    One of my favorite happy hours on Atlantic! (Although I was a little annoyed last time I came as the waitress didn't come to our table for about 15 minutes at which is was then 7:02 and when I asked about happy hour she said they stop serving at 6:45 even though it's posted until 7 ) Needless to stay, I've always enjoyed my food here. The Kale salads is one of my favorites, I like to add salmon. The apple Burrata grilled cheese sandwich was delicious and protip is to cut it and share as an app. I also had the walnut-crusted grouper special the other week and it was delicious!! Service was a little slow but overall good experience.

    DOGFISH HEAD 60 MINUTE

    Sunday brunch at the Farmhouse with the wife who wanted the bottomless mimosas for $20.00 until 3pm. I had a can of cold craft beer by Dogfish Head. Happy Hour is daily from 3pm - 7pm offering half off beer, wine and liquor. The wife ordered the kale cauliflower & chicken salad which I ate half and got two honey buttermilk biscuits with a sidecar of churned butter. The biscuits were $5.00 each but were warm, fluffy and massive (see pic). The gender assigned bathroom was very masculine with dark wall tiles and dark bricklike flooring. The modern vanity with an undermount polished granite sink was a nice addition. There were about 100 rolls of toilet paper filling the shelves taking the place of pictures as decor which was interesting.

    Farmhouse is a casual American food joint right in the middle of the Ave, serving up some classics as well as some of their own spin. I've been by quite a few times, but have been struggling with writing a review. The food is pretty solid, but nothing extraordinary -- and some things have been or miss. The short rib was solid, the burger is decent, the tacos are just fine, and the chicken was pounded thin and dry & overcooked. The prices are a bit high for what it is, so happy hour is absolutely the way to go here. There's outdoor seating, indoor/outdoor bar, and booths & tables inside. There's staff is friendly, and while the food comes out quickly, sometimes it can take a bit of time to grab a server or bartender's attention to order or get the check. I still haven't fully made my mind up on this place, but it won't be my go to.

    Sunday brunch at Gray Racks was a good idea. I didn't have a reservation but once they took my number, my name showed up using resy. Thought that was pretty cool. The food here was delicious. The breakfast pizza made with a cauliflower crust was excellent. Dap a little hot sauce on it and it went perfectly with my espresso martini. Will visit again!

    Biscuits were huge and very good- soft on the inside and crunchy on the out. The jam was also yummy. Burrito was very basic and wouldn't get again. Not much flavor. Very big though.

    It was a busy Sunday on the avenue when we decided to stop and check out Gary's farmhouse. It's a cute little restaurant and we decided to eat alfresco. The server was quite nice. I went with the giant meatball from the happy hour menu. To be honest, I really was expecting just a couple of small meatballs like we get in a regular Italian restaurant. I wasn't expecting this mammoth, monster sized meatball. It was surprisingly very tasty. In general I'm not a fan of those 1 pound meatballs. I've had a few in my day and I never really enjoyed them but this one was very good. For the main course, I chose the Bolognese. The flavor was really good, but that really wasn't a lot of meat to make it a Bolognese. The pasta was drenched in sauce, too much sauce actually and I could hardly find any beef or meat product in the sauce. Calling that a Bolognese would definitely be a far stretch. It was more like a marinara. Overall my experience at the restaurant was ok. It's not a restaurant that I think I would have to revisit. It was definitely lacking the wow factor that makes me want to go repeatedly to a restaurant.

    We were not going to wait over an hour to get into Rack's seafood so we came around the corner to Gary Rack's Farmhouse Kitchen. Surprised to see a 50% off menu as well until 645. Ashley was our waitress, she checked in with us and was on point. We had a comfortable booth in the air conditioning. The restaurant got very crowded and very noisy quickly. I ordered a kale yeah salad with 4 large shrimp, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds, granola, roasted cauliflower & white beans with a lemon poppy dressing. My husband ordered the Saratoga chicken club with bacon, tomato pepper jack red onion on toasted multigrain bread with apple kale. Our portions were much too generous, prices were much too reasonable, and everything was delicious.

    FYI, before I go any further, Racks next-door is closing. After August 16, they will be history. We have always had a good dining experience at a Gary Rack restaurant and Gary Racks Farmhouse Kitchen is no exception. I had the Saratoga chicken club with bacon, tomato pepper, jack red onion on a toasted multigrain bread with apple kale. My wife had the kale yale salad with four large shrimp, goat, cheese, pumpkin seeds, granola, etc., etc. both came with very generous amounts of each. Ashleigh, our waiter was attentive, checking on us and was on point with her recommendations. Also note that almost all of their items on the menu. There is a happy hour from like 4 to 645 daily where almost everything on the menu is 1/2 price. I suspect once the snowbirds return that this will be discontinued but cannot say for sure. Definitely will go back.

    Zucchini chips with the taziki sauce

    My friend and I went around 7 on a weeknight. It wasn't crowded, but the vibe was great--relaxed and inviting. Everything that came out looked fresh and just made. We started with the zucchini chips and lemon tzatziki sauce, which were really good--crispy and flavorful. I had the burger, which was cooked perfectly, and upgraded to the Parmesan truffle fries, which were packed with flavor. The only downside was that we were so hungry, we ordered a side of bread. They charged us $5 for just three pieces, and I wish they had mentioned the price beforehand. We won't be doing that again, but overall it was still a really good experience.

    Farm to table locally sourced with great staff , perfect location and ambiance . The food was carefully prepared with an open kitchen and great happy hour prices! We decided to share several items and started with a strawberry mango tea that was delicious and refreshing with free refills. The burger was delicious and you could tell the difference in the tomato taste and even though it was happy hour prices the portions were large.The meatball was softball sized with ricotta and marinara and was mouthwatering.The buffalo cauliflower and zucchini chips were nice accompaniments for shareables with the burger and meatball! This would make a great place to people watch and have drinks also! I can't wait to visit again and try more items! The hostess, chefs/cooks, server and manager were all very attentive and friendly!

The espresso martini was good as was the Point Break, with tequila and guava juice, very nice, very tropical. Avalon Beach House used to be Avalon Steak & Seafood House. The first time I went in 2022, I remember it being more of a traditional steakhouse. The Ave has grown significantly around it over the years, but it's still one of the staple restaurants in a central location. Overall, it was great meal with good service and nice atmosphere. It's sill one of the gems. We started with the wedge salad and cheesy bread. We wanted to get the Filet Mignon and the Prime Cut Ribeye to share them, but they were out of the Filet which was a bit surprising. Instead, we got the Crispy Chicken Piccata. They were both excellent. The fingerlings and asparagus were good and loved the red wine sauce. The crispy chicken was not too heavy, with lemon and an ample arugula salad. I don't remember the name of desert, but it was a combo of a browny with an Oreo cookie layer (which the kid in me couldn't refuse) with a scoop vanilla ice cream. It was great.

The vegetables were delicious - we had sides of sautéed spinach ($9) and charred Brussels sprouts (listed as an app at $14). A meatballs starter ($16) was also enjoyed - with a dollop of whipped ricotta in the center. Two of us had pasta entrees. The spaghetti could best be described as "industrial" or "so so" (as one dining companion said). The chicken in the chicken Marsala was "very good". The butterflied shrimp in the parmigiana was so thickly encrusted with fried breading, that the shrimp was completely overwhelmed by mouthfuls of crusty batter that adhered to the shrimp. It was hard to appreciate the shrimp at all in there. They were huge (in fact, they looked like small breaded chicken filets). But the excess of breading and batter overwhelmed the shrimp. Also, stomach not feeling so great later. I write this from the throne. The server had the manager come over to speak to us, and he insisted that's just how it's made and that was that. (He offered to have a few more shrimp cooked up but the meal was done at that point). $32 was a lot to pay for mediocre pasta and breading with shrimp. On the fair side, when asked about the shrimp parmigiana vs another dish, the server said that she would recommend the shrimp because there would be more to take home after - which was not our goal for dinner. For my meal I would give it no more than 2 stars but my companions enjoyed theirs more (despite the "so so" spaghetti), so I upped to 3. Will not be eating here again.
