First time was with rice pilaf and second time was with fries. Wait time is not an issue unless it is a full house where understandably everyone is ordering but when it is a few diners the dishes get brought out at a good pace. Service has been excellent, and the split atmosphere between choosing the bar side or the slightly more quiet side with one TV is nice. (Others or serious layout designers may not agree) Circling back to the wings - a friend and I are on the search for good wings. Zorba's wings are good for me, not for my friend. The style of wings here lean towards the breaded and crunchy fried side (which is what I like) while some people may prefer unbreaded seasoned tossed wings. Zorba's is a solid contender for the breaded style chicken wings however and will be at the top of the list while the search for the best wings in RI continues.

She's not just friendly and attentive, she clearly knows her craft. She made one of the best Old Fashioneds I've had in a long time. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and exactly what you want when you sit down to unwind. The food absolutely matched the experience at the bar. The White Bean & Tomato soup was fantastic. It had a rich, comforting flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. It's the kind of dish that seems simple but is clearly done with care. For the main course, I ordered the sirloin steak cooked medium rare, and it came out exactly as ordered. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in getting the details right. Between the great food and Samantha's outstanding service and cocktails, Avenue N delivered a really memorable experience. If you're lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar while Samantha is working, you're in for a great night. I'll definitely be back.

We walked in and the place was brightly lit and welcoming. For a Friday mid afternoon, it was pretty busy! Ordering at the left counter, payment at the right counter. There were some prepared food options in the cases but we went with sammiches and pizza. We ordered La Carolina (similar to an Italian) and La Genevra (similar to a chicken parm) - both in Italian sub rolls along some slices (margherita, pepperoni and potato). Ingredients are fresh and the food was tasty but the prices are a tad bit steep for what you get for the sandwiches. The sauce on La Genevra was just ok, I felt it was missing something but the cutlets were cooked nicely. The service was very friendly and accommodating. They do bring the food out to you when it's ready and they will clear the tables as well so be kind and don't forget to tip! We were eyeballing the desserts and gelato but were too full to get anything. Good spot to check out for sandwiches but I wouldn't go out of my way. Would love to check out dinner at some point!

My partner and I recently visited Avenue N in Rumford, which has become our go-to spot for elevated…read morebrunch in the area. When we're craving something a little more thoughtful than the standard eggs-and-toast routine, this is where we land. The menu is creative without being over the top, the flavors are usually dialed in, and it consistently feels like brunch with intention. This last visit, however, turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag. We sat at the bar around 1pm, which is our usual move. The service was great. We were welcomed right away and had drinks in front of us in no time. I ordered a draft Blue Moon and my partner went with a glass of wine. Both were cold, fresh, and exactly what they should be. We started with the lemon ricotta donuts. These were delightful. The texture was spot on, tender and light thanks to the ricotta, with that perfect sugar coating. I would have loved a slightly more assertive lemon flavor in the dough itself, but they smartly included thinly sliced lemon rind on top so you could dial it up yourself. A thoughtful touch and a really nice way to begin the meal. My partner ordered the avocado toast for her main and it was as beautiful as it was flavorful. The sourdough had a great chew and structure, the avocado was well seasoned, and the sprinkle of cotija brought just the right salty pop. Bright tomatoes, pickled onions, microgreens, everything worked together. This dish absolutely delivered. I went with the Eggs Benedict Florentine, which I've had before and really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this time it missed the mark in a few areas. First, the poached eggs. The whites were a bit loose in spots and the yolks were slightly overdone. I know poaching can be tricky, it took me a while to master at home, but it was surprising to see the interior more cooked than expected while parts of the white still lacked structure. It was manageable, just not what I've come to expect here. Next was the mustard hollandaise. I was really looking forward to that punch of mustard, especially since I've had it shine before, but this time it felt muted. It was also looser than I prefer in a hollandaise. I love a good hollandaise, even better a béarnaise, and this one just didn't have the richness or body I was hoping for. Then there was the tomato. I understand we're not in peak tomato season, but even so, I can usually find more flavorful options at local markets and grocery stores. It appeared to be a standard beefsteak, and it just didn't bring much to the plate. A Campari or another variety with more natural sweetness and acidity would have elevated the dish and complemented the nicely cooked, flavorful spinach far better. On a positive note, the bolo was excellent. Such a great choice over the traditional English muffin and a perfect fit for a local spot like this. It had great texture and the slight sweetness usually balances the mustard hollandaise perfectly. Overall, Avenue N remains a place we truly enjoy. This visit just didn't quite live up to what we know they're capable of. I'm confident it was an off day, and we'll absolutely be back.

Giuseppe's Pizzeria and Bistro is upscale in the best way. Dark wood, brick floors, pendant lights over a small bar. The lights are dim but the room is inviting and intimate. When we arrived, it wasn't empty, wasn't slammed. Nothing felt rushed. Everything moved at the right pace, giving us time to talk, time to savor, time to just enjoy being there. Even after we paid, no one hurried us out. The room was filling up around us, but we never felt it. Fresh plates for every course. Water refilled when it emptied (not before we noticed, exactly when). Every time we said thank you, our server said "of course" like she truly meant it. The focaccia came out warm. Tear it open and you see irregular holes. That takes hours, not shortcuts. They bring whipped garlic butter because it spreads easier, but the bread's good enough alone. Four meatballs arrived, tender enough they fell apart as I tried to work them through the sauce. Took surgeon hands. Pool the red sauce on your plate or spoon some over the top of each bite. Without it, they're bland. With it, they're quite good. The pepperoni pizza came out right. Char on the crust, pepperoni curling into little grease cups, cheese stretching six inches on those first bites. The sauce is light. The crust ends taste a little like char and semolina. I'm a sauce guy. Always have been. This pizza wasn't what I look for, but the people around us all looked happy to be there and with their food. Giuseppe's making the pizza his customers want. Fruit crumble for dessert. Fresh blueberries and peaches, vanilla ice cream. I enjoyed the peach side more than the blueberries, which was unexpected. The peaches were a little less sweet. The blueberries? Really sweet. Fresh and enjoyable. Giuseppe's fills up for a reason. The service is the best I've experienced in months. People were taking their time, talking, enjoying everything that was in front of them. They seemed like they knew they were somewhere special. They got it right.
