My recent visit to L'Avenue, an underground gem, provided a delightful foray into the local dining scene. This new establishment exudes a hip and cool vibe that beckoned for an evening of culinary exploration. Upon descending into this subterranean locale, I was promptly greeted by an exceptional hostess who emanated helpfulness and charm. After a swift check-in, we were comfortably settled at our table. The service continued to impress, with our waitress providing a seamless introduction to the menu, highlighting staff favorites and offering personalized recommendations suited for newcomers. The menu at L'Avenue offered a tantalizing array of choices, thoughtfully divided between the main and happy hour selections. The main menu seemed geared toward the sophisticated foodie, while the happy hour options were playful and casual, ideal for shared enjoyment. Intrigued by both menus, we dove into a well-crafted Caesar salad, notable for its light touch on the dressing, preserving the freshness of the greens. We continued with a standout pepperoni pizza, featuring a crust that struck the perfect balance between thinness and flavor without being overly oily or dry. Our culinary journey progressed with a finger food platter, a convivial assortment of fried delights including mozzarella sticks, tater tots, French fries, and onion rings. Then, we ventured into the more substantial offerings: a 16 oz prime ribeye was next, expertly cooked to a medium doneness with a tantalizing hint of pink at the center, coupled with sautéed onions, mushrooms, and peppers, all complemented by a rich steak gravy. The dish's market price of $85 underscored its value. We also savored the chicken wraps, generously filled and wrapped in pita bread, brimming with crisp greens and a flavorful house sauce. Priced at $25 for two sizable wraps, it provided both quality and quantity. An unexpected highlight of the evening was a fantastic comedy show that resonated through the venue with infectious laughter, contributing to an already lively atmosphere. The one drawback to note is the absence of an elevator, which could pose accessibility challenges for those unable to navigate stairs--a consideration for future guests with mobility needs. The fully stocked bar, staffed by versatile bartenders, rounded out the experience, meeting any and all drink requests. The corkage fee for bringing my own bottle of wine was a standard $30, which I was more than happy to pay. In sum, L'Avenue is a highly recommendable spot for those seeking a hip friend's place that serves French-European cuisine with flair. Just be mindful of the stair situation when planning your visit. read more

To Whom It May Concern, I would like to share some feedback for the management of L'Avenue venue. We recently had the pleasure of enjoying an amazing performance by Forsh, whose talent and entertainment truly enhanced our evening. Additionally, the ambience of the lounge and the attentiveness of the staff were impressive. However, I wanted to address a few aspects of the experience that I believe could benefit from some attention. We arrived at the scheduled start time of the concert and placed our first drink orders shortly after. Unfortunately, it took about 45 minutes for the drinks to arrive, and we were informed that the delay was due to a high volume of guests. We understand that the venue was fully booked and bustling, but it might be beneficial to implement a plan to better accommodate such situations. Our appetizers took another 45-50 minutes to arrive, and once again, the reason given was the volume of guests. When the concert was nearing its end around 10 p.m., we decided to cancel our main course order due to the time. The waitress acknowledged our request, yet the main course was brought out at that point. While we could have refused the order, we decided to accept it and, of course, paid for it. Overall, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderful. I would recommend that management consider ways to reduce wait times for orders in the future. While I'd certainly return to enjoy the entertainment and setting, I might choose to have dinner elsewhere beforehand to avoid extended waits. Thank you for your attention to this feedback. read more

The atmosphere is beautiful. The food was excellent. We ordered the beet salad, my favorite, the Caesar I've had better the Alfredo pasta was on point . We ordered the burata and the margarita pizza very fresh, and thin crust it was perfect. service was outstanding our waiter. Alex, made sure everybody had the right drink to their liking. The singer was super fun and took special request songs from us. My only complaint is that the music was a little too loud for a weeknight where I assume on the weekends it's a little bit more busier and more conversations so the music has to be louder, but on the slower night The music was so loud that I could not hear the conversations on my own table . And I did the order to bone marrow I would give that one specifically 5/10 comparing it to specifically pizzeria Mozza, bone marrow with garlic olive oil on the side . I would definitely go back great place for big group of friends, celebrating birthdays, or special occasions or fun date night. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but the service David provided truly deserves recognition. From the moment we were helped, David was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. He went above and beyond in every possible way and delivered the kind of service that is honestly hard to find these days. What made the experience even better was his personality he was fun, engaging, and had an amazing sense of humor, which made everything feel effortless and enjoyable. He knew exactly how to balance professionalism with warmth, and that made a huge difference. David didn't just do his job he created an experience. This was hands down some of the best service we have ever received, and he is a true asset to this company. We sincerely hope management recognizes his outstanding work and rewards him accordingly, because employees like David are what keep customers coming back. Thank you, David, for such an amazing experience! Table B3-2 read more

Dining at L'Avenue in Glendale was nothing short of unforgettable. The food was out of this world -- my family and I truly loved every single thing we ordered. The filet mignon was cooked to absolute perfection, the vodka pasta was creamy and flavorful, and the barbecue ribs practically melted off the bone. And let me just say -- that pizza was next-level delicious! It was so good, I couldn't keep it to myself -- I literally found myself filming videos mid-meal and sending them to my friends telling them, "You HAVE to try this place!" It felt like watching an incredible movie and immediately recommending it to everyone you know. My kids and I enjoyed every bite and every moment. L'Avenue isn't just a meal -- it's an experience. Can't wait to go back! read more

Starting with the design of this place, timeless and beautiful. Right in front of the Americana. The pizza selection which is Neapolitan style flat bread has been great I have been here 5 times already and tried almost all pizza's on the menus. The surf and turf was excellent. Wednesday nights they host Salsa nights with LA Salsa Bachata. They bring an instructor for 1 hour, then you dance until 2 am. With a DJ, What a change in Scenery for Glendale. Service is great. The servers are quick to help. The barmen are very good and make amazing well priced drinks. They don't force you to pay tips in the bills. Lastly love the draft beer. Alagash all the way. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Located underground, the restaurant offers a cozy and dark, yet stylish atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed dining experience. Its previous iterations, the Moose Den and Underdog, have given way to a more refined vibe. I can imagine throwing dinners for coworkers or colleageus here. The Spicy Vodka Rigatoni with shrimp was standout with a delicious (hot!) sauce and generous pieces of shrimp. Pair it with their Wildflower Elixir, which my waittress recommended - did not disappoint. With its delicious food, attentive service, and ambiance, 5/5 stars - definitely worth a try." Hope this place kicks off. read more

we were grabbed off the street by a lovely welcoming host in a velvet tie. We were welcomed by everyone to a beautifully decorated restaurant and seated. The wait staff was incredibly nice and the food we got was insanely good quality and delicious. We got the lamb chops and ribs and everything was spot on. Definitely would come back to eat. only "complaint" but more so critique would be to have cloth napkins instead of paper to reflect the menu prices. two glasses of wine, two entrees, 1 appetizer was $200. read more
