venue diner prides themselves on their delicious breakfast-style comfort food. They offer a wide selection of menu items, so those of you who dislike eggs (like me) are in luck.

Whole grain pancakes with Canadian maple syrup costs $9.25, while a seasonal fruit bowl is $5.25. The offer various salads such as a Spinach salad with spiced pecans, sun dried cranberries, and vanilla-apple dressing. Sounds weird, I know, but give it a try. They also offer sandwiches, such as the Grilled buffalo burger with cheddar ($11.95) or the Salmon club with Cappicolla and roasted red pepper cream cheese ($12.95). Of course, they still have the typical omelettes, and original tasty-sounding ones as well such as the wild mushroom, spinach, and white cheddar omelette.

The restaurant is comfy-chic, and lined with soft booths that suck you into their plush fabric. Above the booths, festive horns add to the natural look, with the opposite wall featuring exposed brick. The lighting is soft, accentuating the classy and deep mahogany floors.

Avenue states that their diner is 33% love, 33% passion for excellence, and 33% hard work. All of this adds up to a very classy and comfy restaurant for prime-time lounging. My only question is, what happened to the last 1%? –S.B.
