Avenue Bistro — Restaurant in Verona

Service is slow, but they aren’t disrespectful, overall it’s fine all things considered. We’ve gone here countless times and have had takeout countless others. The food is amazing, do not let this review discourage dining in! BUT! BUT! My main complaint which will warrant this bad review is the horrendous takeout experiences I have personally have had. The takeout containers are too small and food is often shoved or even squeezed in (such as with their large tasty burgers or sandwiches) or in multiple containers, which is very wasteful and annoying. They tend to also give smaller portions on their takeout compared to dine in, especially on the chicken milanese it seems. Very disappointing practice! While the single piece of chicken was huge and tasty, the salad portion of the entree, which came in its own separate small container, was really small and a joke. It didn’t even fill up the whole container all things considered and left me really taken aback. Takeout is also horrendously slow, especially every time we have ordered takeout. Overall the food is some of the best locally available, do not let this review discourage you from dining in, they are wonderful, but I hope they fix the take out service especially its containers and increase its portion sizes. I will happily change this review if this is acknowledged or changes are...

I had a great time at Avenue Bistro in Verona! From the moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere meant that this place was something different. The mood was perfect for a casual but lively dining experience. The Steak Tacos were my choice, and they were simply wonderful—wonderfully prepared, packed with flavor, and most definitely a 5/5 meal!

But what made this experience truly special was the service. My server, Louis, was excellent. Not only was he polite and attentive, but he also possessed great repartee that enhanced the whole experience even more. He was remarkably knowledgeable about the menu and gave excellent recommendations. It was obvious that he has a passion for providing great service. On top of this, he was thoroughly knowledgeable about the locality, making recommendations for things to do in town to continue with the evening. His hospitality and personality created the impression that I was staying with a friend.

Louis truly went above and beyond to make my evening totally flawless, and his service alone is why I will be back to Avenue Bistro. Huge thanks to Louis and the staff for such an amazing night....

We came to this restaurant for the first time after attending locally for a mass. When we walked in, there was no hostess table or someone waiting to sit us down. We had to ask for the bartender to call staff. We got seated and we waited over 45 minutes for a simple brunch meal. When we finally got the food, it was not even up to par. It was expensive too, for a simple sandwhich it was almost 20 dollars. The money doesn’t bother me, what bothers me is the fact that the service was horrible for this type of food. They only care about serving locals and people who want alcohol. Not family friendly, very loud, poor service, food is bad. There is other places in Verona, Nj that is worth your time. UPDATE: Restaurant owner responded to me asking if I know people to hire. UNBELIEVABLE! One, why would i recommend people to work at your business that is not good. Two, great “marketing” for asking people that don’t like the place to recommend it to...
