L'Avenue at Saks

“I had no idea this place was here until my friend came to town and invited me to meet up with her there and no it is not affiliated with the one in Paris. That was my first question and I did ask the waiter lol it was very upscale spacious, and the food was excellent and flavorful. Great view of Rockefeller Center and good drinks. Definitely want to go back. It’s very cute and bougie. I loved it!!!”

“The service was amazing. We made a reservation for 6 people on a Wednesday for lunch. When we arrived our table was ready and we didn’t have to wait. The atmosphere was ok; I wish it was more quiet but the location plays a big part. The decor is very warming and welcoming. It gives the idea of being on a family dining room with open floors to the living area. Once we were seated, a server came right away to offer us water. Then, when the rest of the party arrived they let us settled in. The servers were very nice and took their time taking our orders without rushing us. All our food came at the same time and they had it perfect. I ordered the Morel Rigatoni and I was amazed by how delicious it was. They surprised us with some sides on the house and later with 3 desserts on the house too. They went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.”

“I’ve been here three times and I really enjoy the restaurant and its ambience. The location is big, with plenty of beautiful spots for taking pictures. My most recent visit was in early January, where I tried their C’more dessert for the first time. The presentation was great, and the dessert itself was out of this world, though the portion size was a bit small. We also had a wonderful view of Rockefeller Plaza and the Christmas tree, which was a nice touch. If you're looking for a great view of the tree and Rockefeller, this is a must-visit during the holidays. As I mentioned, the atmosphere is superb, but the food is decent, though not particularly extraordinary. For appetizers, we shared avocado with tuna. For the main course, I had the spicy Thai beef, and my friend opted for the morel rigatoni. The fries are definitely a highlight—crispy, not oily, and delicious. Overall, while the food is good, it's the atmosphere and the view that truly stand out. If you’re after a unique holiday experience with a view, this spot is worth visiting.”

“The atmosphere is cute, in a cozy way. The music they played was jazz which added to the atmosphere. The service was o.k. , nothing special. They didn’t check up on us to ask how the food was but did make sure we had water. The food didn’t take long to come out. We got the lobster and fries, burger and fries, chicken spring rolls. The lobster was a good size but had NO flavor. I wish there was butter and lemon but they gave me a lime? The lobster was literally just steamed lobster lol and for $68 I wish it came with some sauce on the side. The fries were good but not a big fan of the sauce but it wasn’t bad. The burger was alright, probably a 4/10, very greasy. Wendy’s burgers taste better imo. The chicken spring rolls were okay, nothing good nor bad to say. For the price point, you’re better off going to a nicer restaurant like Manhatta. The food didn’t blow me away at all and truthfully, it severely lacked flavor. There is a lot of potential but it seems like they overthink the process of cooking? I’m not sure but I would not return for the food; maybe next time I’ll come for the cocktails. Maybe.”

“Food was delicious. However I was disappointed that they never acknowledged that I made a reservation for my friend’s birthday when I checked in, even though I specifically wrote that it’s a birthday dinner in my reservation. The dessert did not come with a candle or birthday message. I just expected better from such a pricy restaurant”
