    "Steak and cheese" Benedict
    Jake C.

    Hands-down my all-time favorite brunch spot. If I could give it 7/5, I would--giving it the same 5/5 rating I've given a number of other restaurants feels unfair to Avenue Kitchen's brunch. It's only open for brunch on Sundays, which combined with always being seated immediately makes it feel like a hidden gem. The back patio is quiet, shaded, and sheltered from wind. The food shines. Of course the egg scramble and the Benedict's were fantastic, but every piece of every plate feels deliberate and done with intention--nothing is an afterthought. - Their home fries are my all-time favorite--thick, well-seasoned, soft on the inside with some crisp on the outside. - - The English muffin toast has a crunchy golden surface and soft inside. - The whipped cream on the French toast feels luxurious. - Oyster shooters are a fun treat, as a lover of both fried clams and bloody Mary's. - They were kind enough to accommodate us with a half order of their (outstanding) French toast for dessert I'd note there's no espresso drinks on the menu, although I did enjoy the black coffee. I like trying new spots, but if the question is Sunday brunch then Avenue is always my answer.

    Second time coming here and second time ordering the seitan wings and they were sold out again! Will definitely come back to try again since I hear such great things about the wings. We ordered the cesar salad, pot stickers, and a margarita pizza with mushrooms. The salad was really flavorful - crunchy and dressed well. I was super excited that their dressing did not contain any anchovies or eggs! The pizza was okay - it tasted like there was a bit of salt missing but outside of that, it was good. The potstickers were okay, I likely wouldn't order them again but simply because they weren't my favorite. We went on a Thursday night and it was fairly full but we were able to get a table for 2 immediately. Out server was really helpful as well.

    Caesar

    Got the Caesar salad, which they kindly split into 3 servings for my parents and I, and we also got a small pepperoni pizza. The Detroit style pizza was really good and crispy. Their drinks were also good too, I got the espresso martini and my dad got this blackberry cocktail that was fantastic. Solid place! Our server was also super nice and helpful.

    We were going to see a show at the Chevalier Theater and we decided to check out the Avenue Kitchen since it was only a ten minute drive from the theater. Parking can be a challenge since the side streets are mostly resident permit parking only. We lucked out and got a metered spot right in front of the restaurant. We decided to eat outside since it was a beautiful night. The outdoor space is also more quiet than the indoor space. Steven T was our server and he was very attentive and friendly. Sometimes when eatting outside, there is a fear that you might be forgotten, but that was not the case last Friday. Steven checked in on us frequently and warned us about the size of the pizzas. I started with a purple vixen which is a vodka drink with creme de violet and my husband had a dirty martini. He was thrilled because he LOVES blue cheese stuffed olives in his martini and usually has to ask for them, so he was in his glory seeing them on the menu. We loved both of our drinks! For apps, we started with the Caesar Deviled Eggs-which was a nice idea to have the salad underneath. We also had the Maple Chili Duck Wings after reading all of the positive reviews. They were fabulous!! Easy to eat and very tasty! A suggestion might be to include a wet nap if you choose to pick them up to hand eat. The meat fell right off the bone. So tasty. We decided to get two pizzas so we could bring home leftovers The slices are quite generous and thick. They are 'Detroit' style, which to this Italian from NJ, I would have said it was actually Sicilian style! No matter what you call it, it was excellent. I got the mushroom broccoli rabe with sausage, which is my favorite pasta dish, so had to try it pizza style. My husband got the black and blue which is short rib and blue cheese. Again-his favorite cheese! We each had a slice of each and brought home the rest to be enjoyed the next day. Love this neighborhood spot and will definitely return if seeing a show near here again!

    Togarashi Fries, onion dip, chips

    OMG, the Detroit pizza!! While I haven't had much of this style of pizza, I do know that this my favorite one so far! My husband and I were visiting friends in the area when they ordered take out from here which included 2 Detroit style pizzas (mushroom & pepperoni), fries and onion dip with chips. Everything was fantastic! The pizza was light, airy and flavorful. I feel like I could have eaten 100 slices! It was not heavy at all like most of the other Detroit pizza I've had. The fries & onion dip were also both better than expected. I would definitely recommend checking out the pizza; I already want to go back and get more!

    A small restaurant in Ball square that serves Detroit style pizza. It was quite packed on a Monday night. I've never had Detroit style pizza and it was pretty good. The pizzas came out hot and delicious. The regular/personal pizza is a great size for 1-2 people. I would recommend the pizzas and the togarashi fries. The fries had a nice spicy kick to them. I got the "utica" chicken riggies which was decent, and a great portion. They have a Monday special of unlimited toppings on a regular pizza, and different specials every day. Service was good. There's street parking: two hour parking and metered parking (watch the signs as some spots are permit parking only).

    Really great options for food, extensive drink menu (all quality choices), great pizza!

    Tried brunch here on St. Paddy's and the corned beef hash bennie was solid. I liked that it came in a little skillet to keep the hash warm. The english muffin was perfectly toasted and the home fries were really tasty and well seasoned - they were more like fries since they were fried, but I prefer these over the griddled mash potatoes that are popular in the ball square area. I had a cucumber bloody mary that was okay, but it's not something I'd get again, as the mix was kind of bland and lacked depth. Service was good, but it required more prompting than I expected for sitting at the bar. Would likely return again to try their detroit style pizza.

    The pizza was good.i will go back. Dining experience was good as well. I'd like to try the other plates and apps I remember this use to be a fish store for 40 plus years Good renovation and location

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Kiran V.

    Came here for a Monday night dinner with a friend. The restaurant space is kind of small but for a weeknight evening it was easy to be seated quickly. The fries were super crispy and well seasoned as was my chicken sandwich. A good stop for a weeknight bite!

    vegan meatloaf
    megan b.

    Loved the vegan chickpea meatloaf and the kale/avocado salad I had recently! Always friendly service too.

    The Chef's Choice. BOMB!!!
    Tee T.

    OFF THE HOOK! Forget about North End. Go to Somerville for some AMAZING Detroit style pizza. So full of flavor. The Chefs Choice is the perfect blend of mozzarella, dans of ricotta, savory sauce, pepperoni and sausage. We opted out of the broc rabe, but after tasting it, I'm sure it would've added a nice accompaniment. Try the Wings. So flavorful, not too Spicy and just the right amount of crispy. The simple salad was light and crispy, dressing just right amount. Simple but tasty for sure. And last but not least, our server was just the right amount of everything nice. So pleasant, friendly and on top of everything we needed to make our experience great. Thanks Avenue Kitchen. Keep doing what you're doing. Street parking Lovely atmosphere Clean and well done Nice selection of beer and wine

Really enjoyed seeing the pride flag at the bar-- felt like a safe space for all. The Cambridge location is busy around the time we went, which was around noon on a Saturday. There is lots of seating in the front but also in the back which is a little more quiet. The setup is a little confusing for ordering though. There's one big line for food and coffee, but you don't need to wait in that line to order beers. I wish we knew that because we didn't see any signage to indicate where to order what. We also saw a lot of people sitting at the bar eating and drinking coffee, so it took a little bit to find a spot at the bar just to have a drink. I think the bar should be reserved for those looking to have a beer. A positive though is that the beer tasty-- light and refreshing. I thought some of the flavors were really creative. For example, I tried the Chrysalis which I believe had notes of jasmine and honey. Overall would definitely come here again and try their food and coffee next time!

It's still Tree House's beer but it's kind of bastardized. Imagine putting a Michelin star restaurant in a food court next to a Chic Fil A. It loses some of its luster. I went up to the makeshift portable bar and they had I am guessing 8-10 beers on tap. No flights. So, I ordered the girlfriend and I each a beer which were poured into plastic to-go cups. She got a Julius and I got an Ultimate Haze, both excellent. The atmosphere is just open mall area and then an outdoor atrium, both kind of blah. There was a kiosk to buy gear and a cooler around the corner to buy canned beer to go. Next time I will rent a car and go to one of the real brewery locations but for now I will be thankful that I could basically get a Julius hazy IPA next to an Orange Julius. Ha!

It was sweet and tasted like a jam almost. Plus we learn they source a lot of food locally which is cool. The atmosphere too is very rustic inside and cozy, plus they have many events throughout the week from trivia to live music. Check out this nice spot in East Cambridge!
