    French Onion Soup
    Brian B.

    After reading the reviews my wife and I were excited to try this place. We walked in and were greeted and seated immediately by an expressionless woman. She took our very simple drink order and returned promptly with our water, soda and menus. She gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted. We both ordered the French Onion soup, the Honey BBQ Chicken Wrap and the Veal Paramagnon Grinder. We had plenty of time to talk before our soup arrived. It arrived hot and looked beautiful. The cheese was perfect. The bread croutons were large, crisp and flavorful. The soup had a great onion taste but I found myself searching for the onions. The ones I found were tasty. We were given plenty of time to talk before our meal arrived. The wrap looked great, stuffed with chicken, the fries were large and plentiful. The grinder was hot, the veal was hanging over the sides of the bread, the veal was crispy while smothered in tomato sauce. Just the way I like it. On first bite the veal was tender and I crunched away with a smile on my face. However I was quickly disappointed with flavorless veal. I so wanted this to be good. It was crunchy and held up under the sauce, it was tender but any flavor was missing. The sauce was average. I grabbed one of my wife's French Fries and it was ice cold. I took a second one and it too was cold. My wife only found a few warm fries. She was disappointed with the lack of flavor from the wrap. After the anticipation of a wonderful sandwich by the looks of it, the chicken was dry and flavorless. The ambiance was very nice. The fireplace was burning, warm and inviting. The room was elegantly decorated for Christmas. I wish the food had a little more flavor.

    First time here somehow and definitely not our last! What a great place- all the other reviewers were spot on. Food is delicious and the staff is SO friendly and just looking around you could see how well the staff worked together- quite a good crew they have there. Oh and They decorated for Halloween and it is so fun and adorable! Great ambience. Food was sooooo good. And wowza do they pour a nice size glass of wine. Our waitress was Kristy and she was attentive, super friendly and just added to our great experience so thank you! Cannot wait to go back and probably try the pizzas next!

    The Avenue is a Berlin staple! The staff is so welcoming and know their regulars very well. I love a seasonal cocktail menu and they have that here. I got the blood orange margarita and loved it! My friends got a pistachio martini and espresso martini, apparently this place makes great martinis! My chicken parm grinder hit the spot. My friends wings looks so good, I'll probably come back here for those. Menu has lots of options which I appreciate. Service is always great and attentive. This place is casual, definitely had a nice/comfortable vibe to it. I love the lighting in here! Be aware it can get pretty busy on weekend nights.

    What a cozy, delicious, and wonderful spot for drinks, appetizers, and an amazing meal. I met up with some coworkers today to have a cocktail but ended up having a few! The espresso martini was not only yummy but eye-catching, too! The bartender makes pretty chocolate swirl designs on top! I also switched it up and did the dirty martini, which was delish! Those bartenders were quite the mixologists and even made us green tea shots! The stuffed mushrooms were cheesy and yummy, and the mussels fra diavolo were very flavorful. Other entree dishes that were tried were the flank steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli rabe and the crusted cod with risotto and broccoli rabe. I heard both were phenomenal. My favorite is always dessert though and the molten chocolate lava cake did not disappoint! It was topped with vanilla ice cream chocolate sauce and even had the whipped cream and cherry! What an overall excellent experience! Thank you, The Avenue!

    Swordfish piccata

    Food and service is always excellent. Relaxed, casual atmosphere. I had the swordfish piccata last night and it was amazing! Our friends had the mashed potato pizza. Another incredible dinner!

They have their own wine and liquor store, plus a grab-and-go, buffet-style area with fresh, hot food. There is also an ice cream station with cotton candy and strawberry soft-serve, which is delicious. I especially love the cone cups because if the ice cream melts, it doesn't drip all over you. One of my favorite parts is the selection of pre-prepped meals you can take home and throw right in the oven, like Chicken Cordon Bleu and stuffed chicken with spinach and artichoke, along with many other options. It makes dinner so much easier. The only downside was that the avocados all seemed very overripe, so those probably aren't the best thing to buy here. Other than that, the store is well stocked and easy to shop in. I also really appreciate that they have real checkout counters instead of only self-checkout. The employees are friendly, helpful, and the service is good. Prices run a little on the higher side, but if you look around, you can definitely find some decent deals. Overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable place to shop, especially for the pre-made meals and family-friendly atmosphere.

I wasn't mentally prepared for what happened next, but it was entertaining. When you first walk in, you get the full bombardment of sights and smells. Like a mix of a fairgrounds and a convenience store. Then all the displays and aisle lead to a zig zag path with no nice way to circumvent. You have to follow the path, and along each bend is the grocery's brand of products. Dotted along the path are a number of animatronics. Singing and dancing fruits, veggies, and animals greet you with a cavalcade of noise and motion. None of them annoying, but it's something you need to adjust to as you go about your supply run. Eventually got to the meat section, and the quality and price were fairly reasonable compared to competitors. They have large pieces of meat that the butcher can clean up and cut into whatever thickness you like. Pricing of the other groceries varies, and the selection is usually limited to a few options. But the quality of the staples makes it a worthwhile trek. The staff at the time I went was not very present, but the cashier was friendly. It's not a constant stop, but one that I would go to for the freezer restock. For those who have not tried them, expect rainforest cafe or bugaboo creek and prepare for a walk.

They were helpful, responsive, and everything was clear and upfront. There were no surprise charges, or "gotchas". In fact they did several things beyond the scope of the contract without additional charges. More importantly, on the wedding day everything went perfectly. They gave us great advice on the set up of the tables, chairs, bar etc. They listened carefully to everything that was asked of them, made a couple of outstanding suggestions and dealt with the problems caused by strong gusts of wind at an outdoor venue with calm assurance. All of the food was incredible. The hor's d'ourves were fantastic, especially the brie and artichoke tarts, mini lobster rolls and tuna tacos. The mac and cheese in mini ramekins were also a huge hit. The dinners were equally delicious. I had the half chicken, which was served with a delicious polenta. It was absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked, moist with a crispy skin. Other sides were served family style and were all fantastic. The dessert was also superb. Each guest received a trio of mini desserts, each of which was delightful. We had several guests with food restrictions (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free). The servers made sure the restrictions were observed, and they made it a point to bring appropriate appetizers to those guests, which was a very nice touch. All of the guests raved about the food. The service was also first class. There were so many servers handling the passed hor's d'ourves that every guest had multiple chances to try each of the offerings. Service of the dinner was equally impressive. The venue is outdoors, and it is a bit of a hike from the kitchen tent to the dining area. Despite that, the guests were served quickly, and the food came to the table still hot. Finally, their prices are quite reasonable, especially given the outstanding quality of the food and service. A very good value.

I found it Inside an ordinary looking strip mall. The coffee choices are pretty impressive, and their website made me chuckle when I saw them ask viewers to "Drop the orange and pink branded cup ;-) - There is a better way to start your morning, power your day, and sip on a little sunshine". I passed on their lineup of Cappuccino, Lattes, Espressos, Americanos, Macchiato, Cold Brews, Vietnamese, Cuban, And Con Panna, because all I wanted was a regular coffee, I went with their Deep Roast version known as CAFÉ HABANA, an espresso bean blend from Guatemala, Brazil, and Nicaragua. It was excellent, a yummy dark roast coffee with plenty of taste to it. Now seriously, what is a morning coffee without an accompanying bakery treat. They had a tempting variety of empanadas, croissants, pastries, and it was a tough decision before I put my money down on a muffin-like asparagus cheese frittata. It was decadently great. While I was waiting for my order, I looked around and saw quite a bit of prepared food (all prepared from scratch in house) for take-out. They have a lunch menu and a great looking Italian themed catering menu with Manicotti, Hand Stuffed Shells, Beef Lasagna, Three Cheese Lasagna, Four Cheese Mac & Cheese, and Eggplant Torta. Your shopping and browsing experience will also include sightings of canned goods, assorted groceries and baked goods. For all of these reasons, I was very impressed with my stop at Ani's, and I bet you'll be too.
