| - I'm adding Avenue B to my list of go-to restaurants when I'm willing to spend a little more to get fantastic food. I've never had a bad meal here, and the food is always interesting. The menu changes constantly, which is fun too. They have a stable, non-changing menu (well, it's seasonal, but it doesn't change very week), and a list of items that change almost weekly up on the wall chalkboard.
I have to admit that I've never had any of their non-rotating menu options, but hear that the kobe meatloaf is quite good. Because their menu changes constantly, I cannot tell you what to get, but I assure you that you'll be pleased with your meal, whatever your choice. The servers are also very willing to give advice (indeed, sometimes their opening description of the options can get a little TOO involved).
My only complaint about Avenue B is the noise level. If you come in around 5:30 to 6:30. the noise level is perfectly acceptable. Or, come on a weekday. But, once the dining room fills up, it can be hard to hear a table-mate across a four top. I personally find that unacceptable, and am disappointed in the number of new restaurants in Pittsburgh that share this problem (Cure is another example). I understand that acoustics are difficult to manage in old buildings, but there are solutions that can be used.
Don't forget - BYOB!
