Reviews for Avenue Bistro in Comox, BC
Party of 7 and we had many different dishes. All were excellent. The beef tenderloin was unreal and perfectly cooked, the curry... was excellent, and the pumpkin cheesecake was amazing. We?ll be coming back. Read more
We came in for dinner and we all left with full bellies. ???? Great food paired with good wine. When I?m back in town I?m... definitely eating here again. Read more
Food is more expensive these days but Avenue Bistro could do better with their fish and chips offering. 1 piece of halibut and... fries was $26 and a "side" of coleslaw was an extra $2. The fish was OK but a bit dry. The batter was light but not exceptional(it was take out but we ate within 10 minutes). All in all, the box was pretty disappointing on opening: especially if one ishungry, which I was. The piece of fish was small and the offering of fries was dismal and so much so that I thought it was amistake but all 3 orders fell to the same meagre level. OK, halibut is pricey but fries aren't. The most lame element was the"side" of coleslaw - it was served in a tiny plastic cup the same size as the tartar sauce - about 1-2 tablespoons (not anexaggeration - it was about 1 mouthful). Cabbage is cheap so perhaps they could loosen up a little on the portion size. Inoverview, pretty disappointing as I'd heard many say it was a great place to eat in Comox. Maybe they're catering to the retireecrowd that want a smaller meal but for the price, these must be well-to-do retirees. I won't be heading back - value for $ wasdismal. Food quality was OK but far from exceptional. Read more
Just ordered takeout from Avenue Bistro. Amazing fresh food.
We went to Avenue for family dinner. It was tasty but not a ton of vegetarian options. I got the forager pizza which was decent,... but I recommend getting something with fries because I kept stealing them from my friend! Overall decent food but a bit pricey.Still solid. My friend?s grandparents come here as a staple. Read more
Came here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good and staff was very friendly. Will definitely be going... back again to try out different items. If your in the area, it?s worth going to but you may want to do reservations first for itcan get pretty busy. Read more
The coconut prawns are really good here. They're huge and battered well, really nice crunch. I got the steak which was good but... the blue cheese/shallot butter was a bit too salty for me. Would definitely want to try their seafood mains next time. Read more
Excellent service as always, the host & server were both wonderful. Cocktails were fantastic too. Unfortunately both our main... meals were lacking ~ Malaysian Sockeye was very light tasting & small portion of fish and the Italian Ragout was vinegary & toosalty. We didn't have the energy to send the food back & explain so made the best of it & ate as we were hungry. Dessert wasexcellent. Not sure we will return as each entree was ~ $30 & both were disappointing, unfortunate as our previous experiencehas been good, though it's been some time. Read more
