This is a really nice place. They open up the windows in the front to convert to a semi outdoor setting. The food prices were very reasonable. I ordered a veggie pita and it was done very well with a very generous portion of fries included. Service was great. I think this place is very cute and worth visiting if you are in the area. read more

3 stars for this spot. Went on a Sunday and sat at the bar with a friend. Thought the bottomless champagne would be fun! It was more like flat water dyed slight yellow. If I was 21-25, I may have been cool with it, but unfortunately I am not. I switched my drink to something else, which was good. The bartender was lovely and had no problem. Food was fine. Breakfast burrito, with potatoes and that's all I have to say about it. It was fine. My friends jalapeño margarita was great, a little pricey for a bar, this isn't a fine dining spot nor should it be, or the prices. $50 for some ok drinks and ok food. Am curious about the dog menu though... not sure what it is about but I do love the idea of bringing my pup. I would consider swinging back, but not on the top of my list. read more

I became ill after eating at this restaurant. I called and was told to call back and speak to someone else. I called back and the man who said he was the owner asked me if I had had anything to drink with my meal. I said yes, I had a glass of wine. He suggested that was why I became ill. He then said, "You don't understand what we're trying to do here." I specifically called to let them know I had a problem with the food. I did not call to get a refund. Nor did I expect a lecture on drinking or being told I had to "understand what they are trying to do there." Very disappointing response. That's why I'm posting on Yelp. read more

Great atmosphere and food. Right in downtown Verona center across from the park. So perfect for a drink after a nice walk. When it's warmer and they open the large windows in the bar it makes it that much more open and inviting. read more

Outstanding atmosphere and customer service. The new management is just wonderful. Both Tammy and JT, or TJ always make me feel at home. I'm always greeted with such a warm welcome. And the bar staff, what a crew! That Nikii Duke is something else and how about Peter, a town legend!! And the outside bar for private events! Can't wait to host a party out there! Chefs kiss 10/10 would recommend. read more

Great local spot for cocktails and dinner. This was my 3rd time getting the mahi- mahi and it is always delicious. I typically get over spinach but decided to treat myself and have over linguini. Don't miss the burrata, it's so good. They have amazing fries and french onion soup! read more

They've made some nice renovations to their outdoor patio. Came here a couple of times and every time they did not disappoint. My husband and I have had the fried chicken sandwich, drunken vodka sauce chicken sandwich, both with the truffle fries - yummy! Also had the shrimp tacos and burrata apps - all delish! We have definitely added this place to our restaurant rotation! I noticed signs for live music on certain nights as well. read more

There customer service is horrible I came in to order & they refused to take my order to do a pickup the guy that does the pizza is so rude I will never return there again & I hope others never go there because of him!! Very disappointed & unsatisfied customer & we always give them business never again will I go there wish I could give less stars too read more

The Bristo used to be upper scale with previous owner/chef. Now it's pub food, the atmosphere is good.

Service is not the most inviting, but the food is very good. If they had a better handle on front of house they would have better reviews. My hubby and I had the cranberry salad, burrata, I had the mussels and he had the Phillies which was apparently very popular and he loved it. read more

Came here with a friend after doing some walking at the park across the street. Could be because I was super hungry but I though my French Dip sammie was delicious. And it appears most restaurants no longer know how to make a French Dip, so this was an extra happy surprise. The fries were cooked perfectly as well. The margarita on the rocks was pretty weak and our waiter didn't come by much, but we sat outside on a gorgeous day and all in all, it was a great lunch. read more

Food was good but the drinks were not only small they had barely any alcohol. The manager, Shawn was beyond rude and couldn't be bothered. Bartender was giving special treatment to another patron while neglecting everyone else. First and last time I will patronize this establishment. read more

Food was delicious! Drinks were perfectly made! The best server ever- Morgan made our night so relaxing and fun!

This used to be one of our go to places, since the ownership has changed, I can't say I've been too happy with it. From a great neighborhood place with food to match, it now has a huge bar and a lot of televisions, food is so-so, I feel like it's become a sports bar/pickup spot. The outdoor overhang is the best thing that happened read more

Had my bridal shower here and the food was absolutely phenomenal. The service was fantastic as well and the newly revamped outdoor space is fantastic. Major plus that my dog was able to be at the shower as well! Love it here! read more

Had dinner there on 11/17 22 found a shard of metal in my food A 1 1/2 inch piece of steel wool l brought it to the attention of the manager he apologized, but no compensation nothing not a discount or a drink on the house or a dessert, NOTHING!! We won't be back. New management sucks! read more

One of my favorite local places!! The drunken chicken parm is one of my all time favorites and the reason I get most people to try out Bistro. They have a great brunch and do a great job with events! read more

Poached eggs were hard boiled, mimosas were just orange juice, manager was rude.. will not be back.

Staff was rude and actually ruined a date I was on. I had to wait for the bathroom and came back 10 minutes later. They kept asking my date if I left putting her in a panic. By the time I got back the date was ruined and we left. Staff needs to use some common sense. read more

When I tell you excellen5 I truly mean excellent! From the vibe to the friendliness of the staff to the fresh food. We had the homemade potato chips. Again excellent not greasy at all and the sea salt pepper are perfectly paired with this. My husband had the Nashville hot chicken pefectlyprepared I had the veggie wrap which was by far th best anywhere a hidden gem read more

Trying to decide if this was an honest mistake or just trying to jack up the bill. 3 happy hour drinks, an appetizer and a salad and the bill is $95? Oh, they charged us for an extra drink and a bottle of wine we never ordered. And the drinks were not at the happy hour price. I hope these were due to multiple servers at the bar but it makes me wonder... read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. There's so much extra staff walking around doing nothing or gossiping at the hostess stand. I don't think I saw many staff members doing much. The waitresses weren't the nicest and also spent much time talking at the hostess stand. I had to ask multiple time for a refill because the waitresses just ignore the people eating. The food took some time and other tables who sat down after got their food before my table. The food was on the cooler side. I don't know how when they have so much extra staff. The hostesses also seem like they were busy but I don't understand what their role was other than distractions with the other staff members. I didn't enjoy this place. It seems like you were the burden on the staff. Maybe it's the lack of management or that the staff didn't feel like they had to be there. If you don't want drinks, warm food or the wait service to check on you until you flag them down, and think you owe the staff something because you're the inconvenience, this is the place for you. I won't recommend to a friend nor come back here. read more

Food was good. But man the service suckkkkkeeed. Also this has New York prices. Deserts the cookie pie. Burnt.

Best Pub food ever, excellent value, staff a lot of fun. Parking in rear. Fried Chicken sandwich and fries the best.

Had a great night eating at avenue bistro. The food was amazing and service was even better. Special shout-out to my waitress Meredith! She was so attentive and kind! I will definetly be going back thanks to her :) read more

First time trying Avenue Bistro. Food was good. Drinks were small and expensive. Bar not 6 feet apart. Bartender giving larger drinks to regulars. Manager rude when questioned. Stated he had worked at Verona Inn and local bars and what was going on was appropriate for regulars. Poor management. $$$ for treatment received by manager. Will not return and suggest you try another establishment. read more

What kind of thought goes through these peoples heads when they're making food? I ordered a sandwich and what is literally called 'mudslide fries'. Who in the right mind would think it's appropriate to put a sandwich and that in the same container? An pure armature runs this place. Hard pass... read more

The new look and menu were a godsend for this place, looks great and the food is really good and reasonably priced. Love the cocktails as well, Tammy is the best. read more

What was once a fine dining oasis has perished, replaced by a loud cheap just-like-everyone-else low-end dining spot with a sports bar / hookup joint vibe. The food struggles to be average, sort of like Applebee's or the like. Chicken dishes are overcooked and stringy, reminiscent of the fast-food drive-thru chicken that's so overcooked because they don't trust their meat. Most of the patrons are here for one reason - to drink. A lot. In that vein they put in a giant bar that dominates the room, and the prevailing atmosphere is the scent of stale alcohol and too many bodies. I'm sure they're making money - they sure haven't invested much in the food - so it will thrive amongst the raging hormones set. But as a dinner spot: gone, never to return, another casualty to popular mediocrity. A good reliable location for a satisfying meal replaced by another Buffalo Wild Wings clone. Think TGI Fridays but without the convenient parking. All this would still be fine if a really delicious restaurant didn't have to die to become "this". read more
