Avenue Brunch House

This review is going to be a little mixed. As ALWAYS the food at Avenue is my favorite! The taste and portion is always consistent and delicious with all of the flavors demanding you to keep coming back. My server was an energetic, friendly and helpful person that was so bubbly we were able to disregard the mistreatment we received at the welcome station where you check in to be seated. It was my 50th birthday weekend and I was entertaining out of town guests. My out of town guests have heard me brag and boast about having the BEST brunch spot here in my area and they could not wait to get here to enjoy Avenue Brunch House. We decided to end the weekend with them coming there before getting on the road. Well I had warned them about the lengthy wait times but how the food and service would be worth it. I had no idea this day they would embarrass me in front of guests. We arrived and we're told it was a 45minute wait. No problem we expected that. After an hour of hearing nothing from the text que, we came in to the restaurant to make sure we hadn't somehow missed our text. We were told no they were super busy give them 15 more minutes. So we stayed at the front of the line. As we stood there we overheard a lady come in and say her guests were not all present but she needed that window booth they had just cleared because she had a party of 6. My party was of 4. The guy agreed to give it to her although we were next in line to be seated which the young lady had told us when we came inside to check. When I asked the guy why we would not be given that booth he said please be patient they had a bigger party😳. We could fit our four at a table and a table would be available soon. 😳 This ladies people were not even in the building yet. I was appalled and embarrassed! How dare he make us wait what now is approaching 2 hours because it was now 30 more minutes we had waited inside. We watched the booth be cleared and sit with no one in it until her party arrived and he sit them in it although we were standing right there in his view patiently waiting. I even explained my over time wait and the fact that my out of town guests needed to get on the road home. He cared not and decided to offer us another table that became available. We just had to wait for the cleanup of that one. Then before we could get that one he gave us an entirely different table that "fit us better". Oh wow!!! This is when we got that beautiful server who was able to make us smile and giggle again just from her awesome service. She gets the 5stars. He gets negative 5stars!!!
