The Avenue

I have lived in Berlin for 30 years, and have never been here before. My Granddaughter suggested we go there because she had been in before with her Softball team and reported that the food was really good. So off we went. It was about 10 degrees that day, and how welcoming, cozy and wonderful to find a wood fire burning in the fireplace!!

There is a separate bar area, which was almost full, yet quiet and friendly. And the dining area was large with plenty of room. Ample parking in back, easy in and easy out. Ramp or stairs to enter.

My husband and I were visiting recently just after Christmas. We ordered the veal parmigiana and the sausage and meatball grinder. We also got the tiramisu for dessert. Everything was excellent.

From the very first phone call, the interaction felt unwelcoming, as though accommodating our group was an inconvenience. We ultimately confirmed a reservation for 5:00 PM for a total of 13 guests. On the day of the reservation, we called ahead to let the restaurant know we were running slightly behind, and we were told we could arrive at 5:20 PM. The majority of our party arrived before that time. However, my children and I were about 10 minutes behind. Despite most of the group already being there, the restaurant refused to seat them until everyone had arrived. The store manager, Jaime, told our guests that if I did not arrive by 5:25 PM, our reservation would be canceled. Concerned, I called at 5:20 PM be

I came on a busy Saturday and we did have to wait a bit but they made sure to get us in as soon as possible. The food was amazing and the drinks as well. Definitely coming back.
