I visited today 24th December 2022 having a confirmed booking for the lunch menu. When we sat down to our table it was only the a-la-carte and festive menu available. I asked the waitress for the lunch menu only to be told the lunch menu...wasn't available as it was Christmas Eve. I advised the waitress that I had confirmation via Facebook messenger from Richard at The Avenue confirming that the lunch menu was indeed available (attached screenshot). The waitress then checked with the manager and said "sorry we have been told by the manager that we are not allowed to offer the lunch menu today". I then asked to speak with the manager (tall slim guy with glasses and a bad attitude). He was adamant that the lunch menu wasn't available. I then showed him my confirmation message from Richard and also the fact that they were advertising that the lunch menu was still available throughout the *WHOLE* of December (screen shot attached). He then reluctantly agreed to offer the lunch menu and threw the menu down on the table. His attitude was appalling and he is the manager! No doubt the staff hate him. I advised the "manager" that I dine here quite regularly and when I visited a few weeks ago (also December) we dined on the lunch menu and the waitress highlighted that this menu was available throughout December. Their Facebook post also confirms this. The managers response was "well I doubt you will find many places offering a lunch menu on Christmas Eve". This isn't the point. The point is that you were actively publicising that this menu was available and your colleague also confirmed this to me by messenger the day before! We were so disgusted by this guys attitude that we got up and left. Like the previous reviewer has stated, I also wont be back. Oh and for the record, there are MANY restaurants offering a regular lunch menu on Christmas Eve! These other restaurants however don't lie and actually honour the menu.... without even having to ask!More

Friend & I arrived for our Christmas Dinner Wednesday afternoon. Perfunctory Christmas decor almost nonexistent. Uncomfortably cold, had to sit with our coats and scarfs on. Christmas dinner consisted of 2 slice turkey, scoop mash potato, 2 small, pale looking roast potatoes,3 carrot batons,3 slushy...Brussels sprouts and 2 pallid undercooked stuffing balls. When waitress took our order she said “I’ll pop in 2 Christmas dinners” which sounds suspiciously like a microwave! The pudding was mediocre. Wine was ok. At the price we paid I had expected something edible. I took mine home for my dog. I never fail to be disappointed with the meals in this restaurant, however this time was the last straw will definitely not return.More

Came here with a uni friend yesterday. My breaded fish was nice and my friend said his was too. Though a bit too salty

Fantastic local bar/restaurant with a tasty menu. Really enjoy the freshness of all the dishes and the way food is presented which makes the meal that bit more enjoyable. Staff are friendly and go out there way to accommodate customers Highly recommended!

I have always loved the avenue, it is beautifully decorated and the food is lovely. However, recently I have noticed the staff have become quite unfriendly. They rarely smile or ask how my meal was making me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. My order was also...wrong on my last visit. Furthermore, the service is incredibly slow, expect to wait up to twenty minutes to have your order taken when there is only one other table in the restaurant. This makes me very sad to write because I love the avenue and felt that it was the best place in Bishopbriggs but I think I will just have to go into town from now on.More

Lunch with other half. Lovely fresh prawn cocktail followed by crispy battered haddock served with chunky chips, tartare sauce and mushy peas. Perfect portions. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We’ve been twice now and will definitely be back.

Family reunion, meeting up with my two sisters. For starters I had 'Avenue Prawns' (Prawns with Chorizo) which was a combination I'd never had before but really nice. The others had Haggis & Black Pudding Bon Bons and Pate - all really nice. For mains,...I had Smoked Haddock Risotto. Absolutely brilliant. The others had Linguini Puttanesca and Fish & Chips. All lovely. Lovely meal. Staff so friendly and helpful.More

Went here with a group of friends and had an excellent meal. This is a bar restaurant and offers a very good menu selection at reasonable prices. The food selections we all had included starters, mains and desserts and each choice was commended. Service was...excellent, very efficient and friendly staff.More

Food amazing big portions staff looked as if they were run off there feet my only downfall was having to pay for my dip for my steak

Tasty! Love the tapas -let’s you try lots of different bits. Staff are friendly! Reasonably well prices. Good atmosphere.

Booked online whilst down in the area for a couple of nights. Good, staff, prices, service, decor - everything was simply first glass. Went back the following evening just for a drink in the bar area and the same high level of service was there...too. Really well run.More

After a day hauling furniture around the new house my friends and I decided to try the local restaurants around my new area and opted for this charming little place . It was very tasty indeed. Upon entering you are greeted with lovely decor which...makes you feel at home . The staff were very friendly and accommodating . The food was very good and well priced. We all went for the £12.95 lunch menu deal and thoroughly enjoyed it . For starters we went for haggis bonbons and lentil soup. The mains were steak pie and seabass which were cooked well . The beef was very tender and the seabass was flaky and soft . After moving to Bishopbriggs I am looking forward to trying a lot more restaurants but I definitely recommend this wonderful little place for food and also for some fantastic cocktails too .More
