Avenues Proper

Came here with my husband for date night and had an anmazing experience. The atmosphere and service was very warm and welcoming, our server Annie was so sweet and had great suggestions. I got the beef stroganoff and my husband got the ny strip steak. Would definitely recommend!

Stopped here on a whim and so glad we did. We got here just as they opened so it wasn't crowded at all, and service was fast and friendly, thank you Caroline V! Coffee was hot and good. The proper burger was excellent, and the fries were very good. The chicken and waffles were so good, the sausage came as breaded fried patties, the fresh ground cumin flavor really came through, and the waffles were fluffy and perfect. There's street parking and a parking lot. There are dining options inside and outside. We sat inside and enjoyed the chill mood music. There's a large beer selection that we're looking forward to sampling next time we come here. 10/10 recommend!

We went here for dinner over Labor Day weekend with the whole family (kids ages 6 and 2). We have visited before, as it’s pretty close to our house, but it had been a year or so. The food was pretty good! Not spectacular, and similar feedback from last time. The fried mushrooms mostly just tasted like the batter. The cauliflower was very good, loved the sauce! Steak and frites was fine - steak was a little fatty/chewy but cooked well and the way I asked. Fries were yummy and seasoned well. Loved the butter on the steak. The burger was okay, but my husband said the version he had at Proper Burger downtown was better. The little ones split the kids’ waffles and loved the fruit, but for some reason said the syrup tasted funny (yes! Kids complained about a sugary syrup!). I think this was because it was infused with an herb. I suspect adults would appreciate this more. Service was fine. Our waitress was attentive and listened. We sat outside on the patio and it was a nice, quiet evening. We would go back.

Okay so we tried to go to Avenue’s Proper three times & finally got in!!! No wait on a Thursday night, which was fortunate. We sat on the bar side. Our waitress was great, very helpful & attentive. We tried a few cocktails: The Proper Daily & the Pomegranate Margarita. Both were really good! I always love me a good margarita! We grabbed two appetizers, the Pommes Frites (basics fries) with the best proper beer aioli sauce!! It was delicious! We also tried the brussel sprouts. For some reason in my head, these were not going to be shredded, even though the menu is clear that they are. The dried cherries were a great touch to this appetizer. Food wise, I didn’t feel like they had great vegetarian options except like a veggie burger or a salad. I ended up getting the carbonara pasta, minus the bacon. The pepper was really strong & overwhelming for me with this dish. My friend wanted salmon but with Valentine’s Day a few days before we went, they were fresh out of both the fish & chips & the Atlantic salmon option so he opted for the chicken & waffles which ended up being really good. We also had a puddling type coffee dessert. I can’t remember what it was called & it was okay but I probably wouldn’t get it again. There was a jello texture to the middle layer. It was different. I was more excited to try this place, then I felt leaving. It was cute & I’m glad I got to try it with all the hype I hear about it.

The food and drinks were great. Felt a little small town like, which was kind of cool. Mostly because it was in a neighborhood. Though they have a kids menu the food wasn't the best for kids. Staff mostly friendly. We'll be back for sure.

The food was amazing. It was the host and waitress that made this review not a five star. The guy that sat us acted surprised to see us and when we said we had reservations he said “of course you do” He sat us in the bar where we waited 15 mins for our waitress to come. She was in the kitchen having a detailed conversation about her night the night before. We could hear her laughing and talking to the other waitress. We ordered the Fish Tacos, Hot Wings, lobster Mac and cheese, and the proper burger with fancy fries. Everything was amazing especially the burger. I ordered medium and would say it was rare but still delicious we also had the dessert which was ok.
