Avenue Restaurant & Lobby Bar - Launceston, Tasmania

Kimberley

Visited the Avenue Restaurant for dinner last night. It was a mixed experience due to a few factors.

We decided to visit based on the current kids eat free special during the school holidays. The negatives are as follows. The customer service was slow, we even had to wait for a menu once we were seated. We requested the kids meal to come out with the mains however were delivered before we had even received our entrees. We had to rush our meals as the kids had already finished. What made it worse was the food took a long time to come out. Over an hour before we had received our mains. Entree portions were also small compared to the prices.

Now onto the positives, bar the scallops the food was delicious. We had the beef cheeks, scallops and two of the main chicken dishes. The kids meals were also reasonable. Happy hours drinks are a positive and at a great price and range.

It is a shame that the beautiful food is outweighed by the negatives of the experience. With these factors addressed it could bring the restaurant up to the expected standard that aligns with the prices charged.

There were few waiters for the number of patrons making service slow but the meal was very well cooked and presented. The coffee was also good.

The menu and quality of the meals were nice but nothing more than a pub meal to be honest. The size of the main course was tiny compared to the starter. Not including my beer as the drink for my 2 course meal ( they used a cheaper soft drink that was ordered by someone else in our group) was this so you could make an extra $3 ? Wow almost $200 for 4 people's meals and you run a business like this. Please do something about your coffee machine at the buffet breakfast the one you have is terrible.

The meal was lovely 2 course choice and a glass of nice Victorian wine $ 45 we then had a dessert each.
Service was friendly and efficient. Dining room relaxed and just a nice atmosphere. Definitely revisit as it was a very pleasant evening.

Dined in for breakfast and dinner - breakfast was ok but it does annoy me that you have to pay for the barista coffee. The dinner menu was too limiting and the market fish of the day and everyday! was salmon despite salmon already being on the menu. Staff were lovely. Service was efficient.
