We went for my Birthday, my wife's treat. It was a treat for both of us. Clean, open and cheerful. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. Both of our meals were very well done and tasty. I can't say mine was just tasty, I had the Tagliatelle and it may have been the best seafood medley I have ever eaten. Top Drawer! View all feedback.
What Dave W doesn't like about Avenue Bistro:
This is my second review of the Avenue. My first was a glowing report on their excellent Tagliatelle it was superb and I stand by that review. Now comes the bad. Just returned from Father 's Day full rack of ribs. Those ribs never should have left the kitchen, they gave new meaning to the word tough. I give credit when it is due and I call out a Poor Meal when it is served. The veggies were excellent, hence the two s... View all feedback.
Food is more expensive these days but Avenue Bistro could do better with their fish and chips offering. 1 piece of halibut and fries was 26 and a side of coleslaw was an extra 2. The fish was OK but a bit dry. The batter was light but not exceptional(it was take out but we ate within 10 minutes). All in all, the box was pretty disappointing on opening: especially if one ishungry, which I was. The piece of fish was small and the offering of fries was dismal and so much so that I thought it was amistake but all 3 orders fell to the same meagre level. OK, halibut is pricey but fries aren 't. The most lame element was the side of coleslaw it was served in a tiny plastic cup the same size as the tartar sauce about 1 2 tablespoons (not anexaggeration it was about 1 mouthful). Cabbage is cheap so perhaps they could loosen up a little on the portion size. Inoverview, pretty disappointing as I 'd heard many say it was a great place to eat in Comox. Maybe they 're catering to the retireecrowd that want a smaller meal but for the price, these must be well to do retirees. I won 't be heading back value for wasdismal. Food quality was OK but far from exceptional.
Party of 7 and we had many different dishes. All were excellent. The beef tenderloin was unreal and perfectly cooked, the curry was excellent, and the pumpkin cheesecake was amazing. We?ll be coming back.
Excellent service as always, the host server were both wonderful. Cocktails were fantastic too. Unfortunately both our main meals were lacking Malaysian Sockeye was very light tasting small portion of fish and the Italian Ragout was vinegary toosalty. We didn't have the energy to send the food back explain so made the best of it ate as we were hungry. Dessert wasexcellent. Not sure we will return as each entree was $30 both were disappointing, unfortunate as our previous experiencehas been good, though it's been some time.
We came in for dinner and we all left with full bellies. ???? Great food paired with good wine. When I?m back in town I?m definitely eating here again.
Just ordered takeout from Avenue Bistro. Amazing fresh food.
