We came over from vancouver and wanted to use a groupon we purchased online. The girl that greeted us at the counter took our groupon,nice smile and very polite. We ordered two chicken wing platters,order was delivered with a greeting from the manager who brought our order over,"Janice" asked if she could bring us anything else,and we asked for some extra suce that came with our yam fries..came to our table in 30 seconds. We found the two ladies very pleasant, and watching them behind the counter reminded me of teamwork..got busy shortly after noon...they were so efficient..and were friendly with all we saw as patrons.Wings were not breaded..or deep fried..tasted like they just came of a Bar-B-Que,on skewers no less. Not just a healthy alternative to the wings we normally encountered in most pubs..but absolutley delicious! Thanks Janice..great atmosphere,food and service! Worth the day trip from Vancouver!

Went on a Sunday,looking forward to trying the breakfast buffet. It was only 9.95 so thought I would give it a try. Walked in,no hostess..no prob. Stood at the bar and finally got the female bartenders attention,as she was engaged with a patron at the bar. Asked were I should sit..she said anywhere. Restaurant wasn't very busy. Nice atmosphere though..best part of my visit.Decent outside patio too. Cut my own roast beef as no one was tending the smallish buffet ares..lol. Asked about the omelete station as the was no one there either..A cook came out 5 minutes later and made me a decent shimp and cheese omelete. Put some waffles and potatoes on my plate..even though there was steam coming up off the buffet serving trays,my potatoes and waffles couldn't even melt butter..they were stone cold. Bacon was like greasy shoe leather..very tough!! Roast beef very tough also. Waitress came to my table 15 minutes after I started eating. Asked what I would like to drink..ordered a coke with no ice..15 minutes later my coke with ice arives..lol.The staff here is ASLEEP!! Or have no idea about customer service. Clearly they don't need tips at this establishment.

Second time I tried this spot. Ordered the cheese and meat omelete.There was a sliver of cheese melted on top,more like scrambled eggs,cook couldn't be bothered to fold the omelete,very dry,devoid of taste.Potatoes were clearly from a bag and tasted more of lard than potato. On the bright side the waitress was very friendly,polite and a breath of fresh air. Don't restauranters realize packaged hollandaise tastes like crap?.Was going to try the eggs benny..Thank god I asked to taste the hollandaise sauce first.Great waitress.Poor quality food.

Food was great,ordered the ny steak and prawns for $24.95.My steak was tender and tasty,prawns were fresh and cooked perfectly. My lady friend had the roast Turkey and was most impressed. Service was good considering our waiter had many tables to wait on.We had the hot fudge brownie for dessert and it was plentifull and delicious.We also had the sweet potatoe fries and chicken wings. I must admit the hot wings were dry and a wee bit overcooked,but the chipotle mayo was awesome. Fries were decent,again the same sauce prevailed as excellent.This location has a small but aestetically pleasing bar and display fireplace as well.

The first thing that strikes you as you enter the Avenue grill is it's intimate size. Pleasantly decorated and on the upscale side with it's decor,typical of Kerrisdale.I ordered the cheddar cheese and ham omelete with sourdough toast for breakfast. The waitress was polite and the coffee was decent,not extrordinary..but ok. With Starbucks,Cafe Artigiano's and Bean brothers on the same block they need to offer the same quality of roast coffee.People who frequent the Kerrisdale "Strip" are used to quality,and expect nothing less.My omelete was average,not much cheddar cheese or ham inside,but it was fluffy and filling,potatoes were fried with a hint of rosemary,but unfortunatley were slightly undercooked . I liked the fact that the waitress brought two mini glass bowls with apricot and strawberry jam,nice touch.Ambience was pleasing,high ceilings,nice bar,yet the sounds in this restaurant resonate and are amplified making my dining experience a noisy one.No manager arguing with customers as a previous diner/reviewer encountered,thank g..A fair experience here.

Two of us arrived at 7:30 pm looking forward to the music provided by Frederico's. I was under the impression there would be a band,and for the prices Frederico charges, there should have been.Caesar salad and a pear salad with brie were tiny,perhaps 1 oz of brie in the salad.They were approximatley $13 each and appetizer sized. The main course of Halibut and scallops on fettucine was decent,but not near worth the $38 pricetag on special. Desserts ranged about $9 each and the Tiramisou was average at best. The Gelato was like supermarket chocolate ice cream. Perhaps the most dissapointing event of the evening was when the music began about 9:45 pm.Frederico stands alone singing unacompanied by any band,but a keyboard and synthesiser...One man show. Granted Frederico has a decent show lounge type voice,but when the hostess told us on the phone when I booked the reservations to make sure we arrived late enough to see the show,both my lady freind and I had the same reaction.."You have got to be kidding". $200 included a mid range bottle of wine.2 martini's,small salads,2 entrees and a split dessert.One couple danced on the small dance floor during our 45 minutes observing the "Show" Service was so-so. Expected ALOT more here.

Chili prawns were fresh,sauce was delicious. Chicken and green beans in green curry paste were also very pleasing to the palate. Our waiter "Billy" was very attentive,polite and informative on the ingredients and levels of spiciness. Nice view overlooking Robson street. The only thing I would change is the Pad Thai, as it was fairly bland and a little dry. I mentioned to "Billy" the Singapore slings we ordered could be a tad sweeter and he brought my ladyfriend and I a shooter glass with grenadine to add to our drinks to remedy the situation.Pleasing experience over all.

Ordered Chicken with black bean sauce chow mein. Specifically with no onions,as I detest the taste.Even told her {waitress..owner?}I was allergic, as then most restaurants make an effort to avoid them. Dish came to the table..lots of big chunks of white onion were apparent and the noodles were half crunchy and half soft. So I took up the plate to the front counter and asked if these were indeed onions. The reply was,theres only one piece there and to pick it out of the dish..Told her ,and showed her there was many onion pieces in the dish..and was asked to just pick them out. Needless to say,my dish had a onion flavor that really didn't appeal to me. Times I have been to this restaurant before,with some ladyfriends that work in businesses on the same block,the food and service were great,and prices were reasonable,this time I was very dissapointed that they couldn't make the simple effort as to make me a dish the way I requested it.Waitress came to the table and asked if the chow mein was ok..and I told her I was not happy with it. She then offered to replace it but I told her I had to leave in 10 minutes and did not have time to wait. She did deduct the can of coke from the bill for the misunderstanding,but should have deducted the cost of the meal..as for me the coke was the best part..sadly.

The conveyor belt has about three items that go round and round..very little variety. Trying to get a glass of water was a waste of time..went to their bar and filled it myself from a jug. Had bc roll,salmon on rice,chicken terriyaki and yam tempura. Half an hour after leaving my stomach was grumbling big time. 10 minutes later I was running to the bathroom,stomach pains and worse. This place has gone down hill so badly in the last 4 years its unreal! Phoned and asked to talk to the manager..was put on hold and no one answered my call.AVOID this place at all costs.

love the mizithra spaghetti,even though it sticks to teeth like a drowning man clinging to a life presever.,raspberry marg's are great,and the prices are very reasonable. bread came to the table cold this visit,and our waitress replaced it with a warm loaf immediatley. Steak here always seems to be on the tough side,but spaghetti is a steadfast reliable fav.
