    Experience and food was fantastic. As a large group we were able to try many things. While nothing disappointed, there were a few favorites. You will be so full, but you must try the flaming butter cake.

    We came in for the great happy hour. The scallops are a must, and i love the ahi tuna tacos, but i get them in lettuce boats. Our server, Cristina, is always attentive and pleasant...she aims to please. Her personality is definitely suited to giving great customer service ...always a pleasure! And, of course, we must give a big shout out to Sydney, the 'hostess with the mostest'. She is a joy... always has a welcoming smile and still a professional demeanor. We love Forno. Great venue for brunch and birthdays too👍

    Agnolotti with butter lobster in a tomato sauce with lemon crème fraiche was phenomenal! Truly one of the best meals of the year, if not the best! Light, tender, and delicious. The Sea Bass with lobster broth was fantastic and cooked to perfection. The Sea Bass was tender with a crispy texture and the lobster melted in your mouth. Stuff poblano pepper was an excellent and tasty appetizer. Service was friendly and attentive. Not a single complaint. We wish The Guild House wasn't so far away and that there was one on Long Island (hint, hint).

    I had the pleasure of dining at The Avenue recently, and I can’t praise our server, Yusef, enough. From the moment we sat down, Yusef made us feel welcomed and truly valued. His attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and thoughtful recommendations elevated our entire experience. He and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect — from the timing of each course to making sure our drinks were always topped off. Yusef’s genuine care and exceptional service turned an already great evening into something memorable. Highly recommend this restaurant and their fantastic team!
