"I have been to Avenue many times over the years. This weekend I went to the bar with 2 friends for some cocktails. My friend was given a glass with a chip in it, which cut her lip. We told the waiter who initially seemed unbothered, he then returned to offer us a 'round of drinks on the house ' (we never asked for this, it was offered to us) When the bill arrived, all of the drinks were on the bill. We asked a different waiter for the round of drinks we 'd been promised to be removed, and he knew nothing about it. Our previous waiter then came over, he was off shift by that point and was very argumentative and rude, and acted like we were scamming him. He pointed at my friend saying I 've served HER three drinks, so that 's why three of her drinks are on the bill to which I pointed out that he had offered us a free round, so only two of each of our drinks should be on the bill. He eventually removed one drink from the bill and discounted the service charge by 30%. He then separately said to one of my friends I 'm a fair guy, what more do you expect? ' we didn 't expect anything, he offered us a free round of drinks and all we did was enquire about it. It was so rude, unpleasant and unnecessary. We were made to feel like we were scamming the restaurant, when we had absolutely no intention of doing so. Ruined a nice afternoon and none of that would have happened if they hadn 't given out a broken glass."

"Worst things first: I think the service could have been a bit better as the waiters weren't so attentive. It was quite difficult to get their attention. Also I asked for lukewarm water as my wife was ill and we were still served chilled water. I asked for the bill to come with the card reader as we were in a rush and the bill still came alone and we had to ask for the card reader again. Other than this the ambience is really really nice. You get a nice view of Canary wharf and although the pillars block the view a bit, I guess those are required to hold the building up haha so it is what it is. Really nice view which every table can appreciate, beautiful interior design my wife referred to it as having a homely feel. I would definitely come back during the day as Im sure it would like marvellous with the sun coming through the full length windows how much better at sunset!! The food was exquisite too. I had eaten beforehand so didn't eat much: just squid rings and the bread selections. Its small but it goes a long way when restaurants heat up the butter so its soft and spreadable on nice warm and soft bread. The squid rings were good too, not too rubbery like many are these days. My wife had a bit more: the cod on mash with caviar (or just roe, not sure) and fries. The fries were so so nice, perfectly salted and fried. The cod and mash was DIVINEEE. Every bite that I stole from her was eye shut inducing. Perfectly cooked cod that tasted like it came from the sea that very morning, one of the creamiest mashed potatoes I've had in a while and then the caviar/roe to add a certain texture to the after taste. Superb. Excellent restaurant, would definitely recommend and not too bad a price as well considering the high class interior and prime location in Canary Wharf."
