Delicious food, classy ambience

by yellowfad at Citysearch

My fiance and I went to Avenue One for Restaurant Week. The restaurant is open in the lobby of the Hyatt hotel but it's still classy. In fact, romantic. There's a nice loungey sitting area right next to it. Our server, Juan was courteous and professional. I got the petite eggplant napoleon for my appetizer. I am not sure how it was supposed to come out but it was cold. The cheese did look like it was sitting out for awhile but it was still delicious. My fiance and I both got the grilled rib eye steak and we both agreed that it was flavorful and just plain yummy. The chocoloate lava cake was a nice small portion so I didn't feel super full. We did however, feel like we were the only ones there who weren't tourists. I would recommend this place.

• Pros: Location, food and ambience
• Cons: In the lobby of a hotel

Avoid Thanksgiving night!!!

by mandarincik at Citysearch

We went there for Thanksgiving night. Actual restaurant was closed; the dinner was served in the hallway (which was absolutely horrible!!!) The menu was 5-course dinner and it was ok. But the service was awful. First of all I made reservation 5 days before, they could not find us in the list, I called up twice to confirm, they never asked my phone number! They gave us a nice table, the dinner, waited were ok, but nothing special. For the first drink we had to wait about 20 minutes and all the time they would switch the plates and bring the food it would take about 15-20 minutes. I almost fell asleep. It was not crowded in there and while others were still eating waiters started to clean up the tables around take the chairs and tables outside from the hallway and making such a noise. It?s not worse it to pay this kind of money and have horrible service.

something happened to the fondues!

by pineapplegirl at Citysearch

Just went back last weekend and something has happened to the fondues!

We ordered a blue cheese fondue which was decent enough, but the classic chesse fondue was awful! I don't know what went wrong, but it was almost inedible. I don't know now if I will go back.

• Pros: , quiet, comfy boothes
• Cons: service, bathrooms

Highly Recommended

Ordered the pre-theatre menu, the 2 course meal. Menu a bit limited but did find 2 choices I liked, sirloin steak & chicken dish. The 4 of us ordered the steak & it was outstanding! We had caesar salad, mussels & shrimp appitizers. The mussels were superb and the best i've ever had anywhere! The caesar salad was great as well. The service was impeccable. The wine,dirty & choc martini's were awesome. The meal was great but cocktails pricey.They said allow 2 hrs before the theatre and since we did not order dessert, we were in & out in 1 1/2 hrs and still had plenty of time for a quick cocktail at the theatre before going to our seats.

A most pleasant experience & look fwd to going again the next time I am in Boston, whether it's for the theatre or not. I highly recommend Avenue One.

• Pros: Close to Opera House, Close to the T
