Nice....but
So I checked out my new neighbor on it's second night open. You first walk into the Ikea-esque greeted by the friendly staff all wearing their spiffy matching T-shirts. Although the Avignon website mentions one of their likes as "cheap wine that tastes good", I assure you, the menu has anything but. I found the wine list in particular to be a tad overpriced, as is the food menu. If I am paying entree prices, I should receive entree portions, not wine bar bites. Although I will say, the food that we had was good. They do have a limited bar, as well has a few taps, which, although few in number, impressed me by the selections.
In short, I would suggest they ditch the matching shirts (it bothers me, I don't know why), lower the prices, or at least inject a happy hour, and throw on a couple of cheaper bottles of red to the menu. I mean really, who is going to walk in and order the $257 bottle?
