The Avenue Kitchen & Bar just HITS every time. Great food, relaxed vibe, and a true neighborhood spot. Standouts for me are the Detroit-style mushroom rabe pizza, spicy rigatoni, and turkey chili. The Greek chopped salad and Avenue Cobb with salmon (my go-to) are always fresh and satisfying, and brunch NEVER misses — especially the bacon and brie breakfast bowl and the BENEDICTS. The lobster roll I had for Valentine’s Day was incredible — chunky, buttery, and perfectly done. Don’t skip the skillet chocolate chip cookie with gelato. The cocktails are killer too! The only “problem” is everything is so good it’s hard to try new things because the list of favorites just.keeps.growing. Always happy to come back!

I love their blackberry spicy marg altho I got their bourbon drink instead this time 🥹 The chicken parm is good but girl, get the chicken sandwich, the pizza, and the tequila wings!!! It be good good. Edit: Went again last night + got pics. Always good here!

we highly recommend hosting an event at kitchen avenue and bar. we held a baby shower for our daughter and husband on a Saturday afternoon. the venue is a perfect blend of comfort and modern. Gino and Kenny were wonderful to collaborate with. they are flexible, supportive and talented and really made our event special! of course we had to have the Detroit style pizza as an appetizer and please get the kale caesar salad, the best salad ever. you can’t go wrong with the entrees. and Gino kept the bar experience fun and responsive! truly a day filled with happy memories.

Run, don’t walk The Avenue. We came here just before the holidays and it was slammed full but they had a table waiting for us. We had the best service. The drinks (sangria, martini and cider) were perfect. The Detroit style pizza was on point (two of us are from Michigan so we have insider knowledge on what’s good). The bowls were beyond good. Simple and flavorful. I don’t live in the area, was visiting for the holidays and I’ve been thinking about how soon is too soon so I can come back to The Avenue.

Super special, cozy little neighborhood corner bar & restaurant. Detroit style pizza is on point, great classic flavor on their spaghetti and meatballs…and if you get the fried chicken Benedict…there will be no regrets. My OG love is their espresso martini but they do some mad unique and tasteful spritzers for their boozy brunch too!
