Food Recommendations:
Ahi Poke
While I know everyone is not a raw fish fan, for those sushi lovers, this is a great appetizer option. The fresh ahi tuna sits upon edamame hummus and is dressed with red onion, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
Avenue Burger
If you are craving a nice juicy burger to brighten up your day then Avenue Kitchen and Bar is the place to go! Hopefully, you don’t fill up too much on the burger because their fries are just as good!
Carnitas (Pork) Tacos
Another go-to choice is their succulent pork tacos that have been paired with a zesty cilantro sauce and an onion and tomato pico sauce. If this doesn’t make you feel like summer then I don’t know what will!
Homemade Bread Pudding
But of course make sure you save room for dessert! Especially during this stressful time of finals, it is important to reward yourself. This mouthwatering bread pudding a la mode has the perfect sprinkling of cinnamon to help you forget about your studies for a bit.
So what are you waiting for? Grab some friends and head over to Avenue Kitchen & Bar for an unforgettable meal that will definitely please your palette.
