food great, bartenders, not so much.. i have eaten at avenues many times over the years and i am always happy with the restaurant end of the business. beautiful place, well managed. always consistently good, and the service in the restaurant is second to none. my problem is at the bar where the bartenders are robotic and rigid. part of the happy hour experience is the the bartenders, and having them engage in this time. i have frequented every establishment in the area for several years and i'm yet to see that level of no personality anywhere. having owned a restaurant, there is a fine line between being professional and rude. learn to smile and engage, you might actually enjoy your time too. and maybe people won't think about going to sirena instead.
