For a nice relaxed and sophisticated dining experience check out Ave. Grill

by AKWyoming

The Avenue Grill in down town Denver is a sweet little get away. With it's low lights, quiet atmosphere and very helpful and polite staff it made for a remantic dinner. The menu is fairly limited, but the food is excellent. My steak was cooked perfectly, and my husband said the scallops were devine.

• Pros: Small dining area, not crowded
• Cons: limited parking

Super dependable with many regulars. It's a good default when you want a cozy window view and glass of wine!

I've been going for over ten years. Lunch or dinner. Both dependable. Only complaint is dishes can be over-sauced and too much butter, but just speak up they will accomodate. Great atmosphere. You can almost always get a window seat and if you're alone, it's even more recommended. Sometimes I feel a bit out of place dinning alone. But here it's very zen to sit with a glass of wine and read or people watch.

Super fresh salads, service is not always the best, but I've never had a serious complaint, or if you know what I mean....really been mistreated.

I would recommend this place for a date with friends, spouse, or even a romantic evening. Kids would fit in just fine, I've just never seen any. It can get loud but not so loud that you can't converse. They have a great sparkling wine by the glass.

Parking is no problem. There's a lot on the north side of 17th.

PS.....Chocolatte bread pudding is a small portion and nice way to end the meal.

• Pros: Ambiance, nice place to site people watch. Great food, nice selection, no problem spliting plates.
• Cons: Wish they would offer more healthy lighter fare. But they will accomodate requests.

Never lets us down

I love Ave Grill. We celebrate every occassion we can there. We were there last week for a birthday and the service was wonderful. The entrees were all perfect. The pork chop is to die for and has not changed in the last few years that we have been going there. I will admit that the dessert menu needs to be more homemade and changed up. It is lacking. For instance the Key Lime is not worth the money. But the bread pudding is great as well as the frangelico tart. The wine list as well as the bartenders are great. I hope that Ave Grill never changes. They are perfect just the way they are. We go there at least once a week too!

• Pros: Parking
• Cons: Not a place for kids. Which actually is not a con for those that want to dine kid free.
