    Pricey, mediocre food. Shrimp scampi had only four large ( not extra large or jumbo) shrimp with a small amount of pasta. Not worth $28. The seafood pasta had a strange brown sauce/taste and not much seafood. Restaurant never gave us credit for making reservation on Open Table. There are many other good, italian restaurants in the Fifth Ave/Third Street area. This is not one of them.

    We usually like to eat here even though the service is slow. We all liked our dinners (which were early bird) , but the service was terrribly slow. We got there around 6:05 and didn't get out until after 8:30. The waiter seemed to ignore our frustration to be taken care of in a reasonable time frame.

    This restaurant has great food but poor service. It is easy to get a seat there...not busy but the staff are not attentive. We had to ask for everything (water, cheese, bread, etc) 3 times before being served.

    We booked our outside table for 3 one week in advance and as we arrived the hostess was seating walk-ups at an outside table and when we said we are the 5:45 for 3 outside she said she only had inside available. After some back & forth the manager was able to put together a table outside for us. We were only given 2 table settings and no bread. The helper poured 3 glasses of rust colored water which our waiter saw from across the way and replaced with clean ice water. Service very slow and you can never find your server. We did the esrly dining and server said he would give our single friend 2 glasses of wine for the special but he never did. The 3 of us shared our bottle of wine but were charged $$$ for 1 1/2 specials I hope the management gets themselves organized or there will be a new restaurant in that spot in no time. Just telling it like it is....

    I read the negative reviews about bad service but decided that those were all things that can be fixed so felt it would be fine. For some reason this place cannot figure out how to get food from the kitchen to the customer. The waiter does not deliver the food. Problems started when I ordered a salad and no one else in our party of 4 did. They brought out one of the entrees with my salad. After the waiter saw that he was upset. He said "that is a starter" pointing to my salad, and took the entree away. After maybe 15 or 20 minutes when the salad was done they brought out two entrees. One was the same as had been delivered early and obviously had been sitting somewhere all that time because it was stone cold. The two who received their entrees waited for a few minutes but then started eating before they got cold or colder. Another 10 minutes passed before one of the remaining two entrees was brought out. Again the three ate slowly and delayed so as not to be done before the fourth entree was delivered. After another 10 or 15 minutes our waiter was standing at the table next to us having a conversation. I yelled at him that we needed our last entree. He left the table and about 5 minutes came back with our fourth entree. So elapsed time between first and last entree served was probably 25 minutes. Other than the cold pasta dish the food was acceptable, from good (salmon) to average (chicken parmesan). It was two hours from when we were seated until we left. (Before I left I apologized to the couple at the next table for yelling at the waiter while he was speaking to them.)"

    South Avenue Restaurant & Bar provides good food, well presented at a reasonable price. The early bird 2-dinner special with bottle of wine menu provides a variety of excellent dishes. Restaurant has a pleasant large outdoor seating area as well as indoor seating and an inviting bar area. Most important all staff are pleasant and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant based on food quality, price and service.

    First off, the server did not speak or understand much English. Then the Mista salad that I ordered never came until I asked where it was when dinner was served. The food we ordered was not hot enough & my Salmon was raw in the middle. I really don’t think we will ever go back or would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. They have been open long enough to have things so run much better.
