Ava Gene's Portland Reviews from The Last Year
I don't give any restaurant or business bad reviews lightly.
Unfortunately this place met all the criteria for that. We were a group of 4 which all left hungry and very disappointed. I'm not easy to disappoint, but this must be the worst price to performance I've ever experienced. The pasta was undercooked, luke-warm at best and over-salted. The halibut was not even a square inch of fish for a wooping 34$. All in all, I think Ava Gene's has the worst price to food experience and should be avoided in my opinion. Portland has so many great restaurants with much higher standards than this. Ava Gene's unfortunately doesn't even reach the mediocre mark in my opinion.
Terrible price to food ratio and very overrated

This place is awesome, the food is great and the restaurant
This place is awesome, the food is great and the restaurant is very good looking. The service was great in the beginning, we did wait quite a while to receive a check however (about 20 mins) and had to ask someone who was not our server to find her or to get us a check. The person who brought the check was not her so I assume she went on break. Things happen, overall a great experience.

we opted for the chef's tasting menu & were pleased with the suggestions from the sommelier. every course was delicious. we allotted 2 hours for our meal. however, we were dismayed that the service between the courses was so slow. maybe we wouldn't have noticed if we didn't have reservations for an art event later that evening? we waited 30 minutes between the salads & the pasta. and then another 25 minutes between the pasta & the main dish. we had to take the dessert to go because we ran out of time & were stressed about getting to our other reservation. we would love to come back but would absolutely take this into consideration & would avoid making any plans after dinner.
Loved going there every morning and getting coffee and
Loved going there every morning and getting coffee and Dad's delight. The atmosphere is so friendly you want to s-end the whole,e day there
I would actually give the service a 5 but the food a 2.
The pasta was so salty that it was almost inedible. The portions were microscopic. We used to live in the Portland metro area and we remember having a much better experience at Ava Gene's in the past. We were in Oregon for a week of dining in Portland and wine tasting in the Willamette Valley. With limited nights for dining we were so disappointed with this experience. I have read that too much salt is an ongoing issue here. Does management not read the reviews???
Solid and memorable experience here when we visited
Solid and memorable experience here when we visited Portland. My wife and I came here on our last night in Portland and it was definitely a hit. We ordered the black linguine and the bolognese and they were absolutely amazing. The waited recommended a bottle of Chanti and it paired well with our meal. The cannoli was the perfect ending to our dinner. They even had a coat check when you walked it which was a nice surprise. We will definitely be going back.
Fantastic food with impeccable, attentive service.
Fellow diners: This is a dimly lit, romantic oasis. Pouring over your menus with smart phone flashlights. like an anxious search party in a bad movie, ruins the ambiance for the rest of us. Use the candle on the table, or ask your always helpful waitperson for assistance. Leave your phone in your pocket, purse, or better yet, your car.
Some of the most authentic and simple Italian food I've
Some of the most authentic and simple Italian food I've ever had. Wonderful service and a lovely atmosphere.
Contemporary Italian with Japanese hints.
Everything we tried was sooo good. Try the black linguine, the Jerusalem artichoke black cod, and the anchovies.
I want to send personal thank you to my waiter Mario we had
I want to send personal thank you to my waiter Mario we had a beautiful night together I felt a princess
Wow! What an incredible experience.
We celebrated my birthday at Ava Gene's last night and it was so great. It was our first time visiting this place since moving here in the Spring. Every single person we interacted with was so friendly and welcoming and helpful. Our server in particular was so great. We really appreciated her strong recommendation on our orders and we were so glad we took her up on her suggestions. Every single dish was just over the top delicious! And the ambience of the restaurant was so great. The lighting is amazing, the music was fantastic and the noise level was just right - energetic but not so loud. Thank you for helping make our night so special!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
