"*Cash recommended! My friend and I went to Park Avenue Grill because it came up highly rated for gluten-free friendly restaurants. This place was definitely popping! We arrived around 12:30pm on a Sunday, and we had to wait 10 minutes for a table. They will put you on the waitlist and will text you when your table is ready. The interior is cozy and reminded me of a bed and breakfast. If you pay in cash, you only need to pay the menu prices, which is why I recommended cash over card. We both ordered strawberry lemonade, which was refreshing, but the strawberry flavor took away from the tanginess of the lemonade. I ordered the Country Omelet $18) and my friend ordered some type of gluten-free tacos that were on the specials menu. The food was terrific!! For me, I got my omelet with fruit instead of home fries. The toast had the perfect amount of butter, and the omelet was flavored well and all the meats were juicy. My friend also completely cleared her plate, and did not have a gluten-attack after we ate here. The only reason that I did not give Park Avenue Grill 5 stars is because of the way I got treated in the restaurant. The waitress would not look at me and would only address my friend. I felt a little weird, but I did not want to read into it. It was my friend who brought up that the waitress completely ignored me. When the bill was brought, they also handed it directly to my friend. It was like I did not exist. I can see if I did not speak English or was rude to the staff, but that was not the case. So at the end of the day, it just felt slightly racist. It seems this is not a common experience at this restaurant when I was reading the reviews, but I wanted to put it out there because it was our experience."

"Food is usually quite good, but sometimes it's quite awful. I've found that at a lot of Mexican places; you get the same dish each time, and 1 out of every 10 times it's really bad. The main reason for the 2 star review is the way they treat call inorders. If you call them, you're not even a 2nd class citizen, you're a nobody. They let the phone ring for minutes at a timeand sometimes never pick up. When they do pick up, they put you on hold and then forget about you, literally. That is not anexaggeration. Whenever I call, I'm put on hold and forgotten about. Usually I can last about 5 minutes before giving up. Onetime I tested to see how long it would last. I was on hold for 8 minutes before the line went dead. I called back, and asked ifthey forgot someone was on the line. They admitted they did. This would of course be excusable if it didn't happen every time.It would also be excusable if there were a long line of customers in store waiting to be served, but that's not the case: theynever put you on mute so you know whether they're helping people or not. The time I was on hold for 8 minutes, after the onecustomer that I was put on hold for, there were no other customers the entire hold time. This has been the case most other timesas well. So, managers: get your staff together and train employees how to handle the phone line. I worked in food service forover a decade, so it's not like I don't have empathy, but if you want business then you need to take orders. And you can't takemy order, or anyone other callers' because the phone line is hung, when you leave me on hold and forget about me."
