Truly enjoyed our dinner here in Avenue Bar. Dined with my husband and our 2 teenagers. Relaxing, cozy, warm and elegant ambiance. The food did not disappoint. It was tasty, delicious and well prepared. I was expecting the food service to be slow bec it was fine dining but it was actually fast! We enjoyed every dish. My fav among what we ordered was the catfish salad. Though would prefer the catfish to be crispier, the flavors really blended well. The chicken (even the white meat) was tender (not dry at all) and sauce was flavorful. Service was impeccable! We did not have hard time calling for assistance. They were staffed well. A great thank you to the pretty Ms Maureen who assisted us that evening. She is knowledgeable on the menu items (explained well and answeres our questions satisfactorily) , polite, attentive and well mannered. She was also quite sensitive to our needs that even before we asked for it, she knew what we wanted. The reception staff was also friendly and warm. Ms. Thea also replied promptly and well to my queries thru viber. Overall, would recommend this place. The overall dining experience - the food, ambiance, service - was quite remarkable and special.

The place was a great place to have a function. The ambience is very classy and high-end. The food was also pretty good. The Lechon was my favorite as it was very tender and flavorful compared to normal lechon from other places. I don't eat a lot of Lechon, but this Lechon was really great. The Carbonara was the better one of the 2 pastas and we really liked it. The flavor is not sweet and it was not so heavy to eat. The Beef was also good. It was a bit too fatty for me, but the taste and flavor were great. So if you don't mind taking out the fat, it's yummy. The Paella Valenciana was okay, it's what you would expect from that kind of order. I wasn't a fan of the chicken and the mushroom paella though. The chicken just tastes like normal chicken. Then the mushroom paella was very very dry and it barely tasted like anything.

The interior design is truly impressive. Feels like stepping into a beautifully curated grand home. I had the Ikura Pasta (₱1,230) which was perfectly seasoned. The Greek Yogurt Smoothie (₱480) was also refreshing. The bibingka was also soft and had the right level of sweetness. Grateful to the generous member of our group who made this visit possible. Service was warm and attentive throughout.
