The Avenue - Washington, D.C.

I wanted to take a minute to thank KAT and the entire night team at The Avenue for making last night a breeze!! My daughter had her 1st book launch at Politics Prose (Finch House, by Ciera Burch). We made reservations for 20 people at after 5:30pm for 8:30pm and they never made us feel like we were a problem! Never questioned the time we 'd enter or what it was for, and that was just over the phone.Upon arrival we were prepared for... there was a large private table for us in the lower living room that was PERFECT and we felt like we had a private room.. I couldn 't tell you then how happy that made me! THANK YOU!Guys- thank you for making sure we had water, drinks, appetizers timely and while all these things may be basic to some, in an industry where thank yous are fleeting and service is lacking, im thankful!Kat, you 're amazing. You 're professional! And you and your team of guys handled 2 handfuls of checks and my daughter 's special day TERRIFICALLY.THANK YOU!L

Unfortunately, our visit to the restaurant was not as expected at all. Drinks had to be sent back. Our food orders were incomplete. The server and the food runner were not in sync as to what dressings could be offered. But it was a lovely day to sit outside, between the flies that would not move away, and then an onslaught of bees, we left much earlier than we would normally have done.

We had the most wonderful time celebrating my husband's birthday!

I am biased, as my brother works at The Avenue. That said, for the past two months, my wife and I (a mix of family and friends have joined us) have eaten at The Avenue on Monday nights. 1/2 price burgers! The burgers are delicious! Two patties high, smothered with cheese and other deliciousness. It is worth the visit. I did not, nor will l, be compensated for this posting.

I cannot begin to explain the incredible service at the restaurant. Specifically my waitress, grace. She never failed to keep a great attitude and made our time there much more enjoyable. I cannot wait to go back again!
