Avenues

Yikes!! $55 for lobster tail ala carte; $35 for venison sausage; $25 for John Dorrey fish (whatever that is); $12 for market salad. Even more startling was the miniscule portions. Forewarned is forearmed, I thought after reading reviews, never imagining that "expensive" was a euphemism for "outrageous." Total bill for four: $400. In all fairness, food was delicious, service extraordinary (even a personal escort to the john), and setting was elegant. Truly a destination for the special occasion, as it was a birthday dinner for a special lady, and, indeed, was well-appreciated. Needless to say, tho, it's not your everyday eatery.

    1. "Total bill for four: $400.'

      You ate at Avenues for $100 a person. That is a steal!

        1. FYI $100 a person is not bad at all for this kind of restaurant. You could easily spend that at much lesser places.
