Avenue 16 consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience, making it a preferred choice for eating out. The buffet breakfast offers a variety of delicious options at a very reasonable price.
Lunchtime seems to be a much quieter and relaxing time to enjoy a meal at Avenue 16. It is far less busy. Our lunch server, Madison, was outstanding, attentive, and very cheerful, and hospitable!
The restaurant’s thoughtful approach to accommodating dietary restrictions, combined with outstanding staff, has solidified Avenue 16 as a "go-to" location for group gatherings. The breakfast buffet includes sausages, hash browns, potatoes, pancakes, waffles, vegetables, coffee, and juices, with flavored yogurts, fruit, and oatmeal as side dishes. Freshly chopped tomatoes, green onions, and other vegetables are available for topping scrambled eggs, along with ketchup and syrup for pancakes and waffles.
Avenue 16 is very family-friendly, offering high chairs, crayons, and coloring options to keep children entertained. The breakfast and lunch selections are both satisfying and affordable. I highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere.
The availability of a conference room, which can accommodate about a dozen people, allows for group meals in a quieter setting. Unfortunately their exorbitant rental fees have made this cost prohibitive for many people and the room sits unused most of the time which is a waste! This however could change if the management would change their position on this matter and realize that they lost revenue when people (like myself) stopped booking this room due to the excessive fees. Considerable revenue and tips are lost when large bookings go to other venues which offer free rental of rooms for larger groups.
Overall, Avenue 16 offers a delightful dining option with a range of healthy and satisfying choices, making it a top pick...
Read moreThere were 3 of us, we got 2 of their pizzas and a beef dip and fries, we also ordered a side of dry ribs, when it had been and hour It took almost an hour and a half to get our food, and I had to flag down the waitress to ask her when the food was coming and she said it still had about 8 minutes and then I told her how long it been, so we needed it boxed up and the bill as soon as its done we had to be somewhere in 10 mins thank goodness it was only a 4 min drive, so we didn't even get to eat the food in the bar, she didn't come back and check if we needed refills . The waitress didn't even put in our appetizers it wasn't super busy as it was a Wednesday night it was 6:55 when we got there we had to be somewhere at 815, when we went in, it looked as if most people had their food, and we could see the kitchen frm our table, it didn't appear to look like it was slammed busy, she did give me a discount, and I still left her the lower tip on the machine, overall I really don't think I'd go back the pizza was good but the lack of service, and how long it took for our food to come, and a side note the people beside me spilled a glass of wine and water on accident, (not the problem things happen) but a waitress put a wet floor sign right behind my chair so as soon as I went to walk I ran into the sign knocking it over I didn't see it as I had my pizza...
Read moreMy friends and I are going to now make this a tradition everytime we come to Calgary! I wanted to get my friends a fancy meal for our trip to Calgary, unfortunately I choose a different restaurant and it was disappointing. However, Avenue 16 saved the day! As we rembered the exptional service from the previous night when the bar we had in mind was closed and decided to try a full dinner. The portions and delectable meals are very worth the price point. The drinks are well made and average priced and when my friend didn't enjoy a drink they where quick to make a new one. The Atlantic salmon I'm particular has to be hands down the best salmon I have ever had. The dry pork rib aparizers where delectable. The butter chicken was "the best I've ever had" acourding to my friend. The server we had was exceptional they had a kind and fun personality, was extremely professional, knew the right amount of times to check on our table we never felt hovered over or forgotten. Best server I've ever had! Overall best restraunt we've ever been to! Never a second choice again! I am excited...
