My husband & I wanted to try a new place for date night & came across Avanti. We were not disappointed. Loved sitting at the corner of the bar to people watch & be in our own little space. It gets busy after 5 if you need a table, most people had reservations. The bartender was lovely, had great suggestions & made us our very first espresso martini... life changing. The food was delicious & they even did a custom menu change for the dish I wanted. We will be back when we need another date night.

Man, the food here is Awesome! The Pork Chop is truly amazing, brought my world traveling pilot friend, he said it was the best pork chop he ever tasted. That’s what I thought too. The flat iron steak was just as excellent, as was the fish. You just can’t go wrong with the food here.

I really don't want too many people to know about this place because I don't want them to be busy when I try and go but appreciate supportinga local business as a small business owner myself. But...... this place is a treasure. The pork chop is best thing I have ordered at a restaurant in a long time. Really good drink selection too. Grace took care of us at the bar and Mark hooked it up behind the scenes in the kitchen. We also had the crab cakes, oysters, and coconut shrimp. Amazing experience!

This place is absolutely amazing. We have eaten there a a few times and it never fails to impress. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Not only is it cooked and seasoned to perfection, but it is plated with fine dinning aesthetics in mind. It is our favorite restaurant by far. Added photo is the smoked pork chop braised in apple cider. It was the most delicious pork chop that I have ever had.

What a great surprise! In the corner of a strip mall just off the 205 sits an absolute gem! It’s well decorated and quiet despite being full of customers. Every dish our party of four ate was a unanimous thumbs up. We were seated immediately upon arriving for our reservation. Service was personal, professional, and welcoming. Standouts included the ample cheese plate, the chanterelle and truffle soup, and all our entrees. The Mahi Mahi was cooked perfectly, seated on a bed of yummy rice, and a sauce with a pleasant sour flavor, perfectly balancing with the sweet fish and asparagus. Shrimp scampi was very tasty, with just the right amount of heat. The bouillabaisse was luscious and perfectly cooked. Arrive early for this; it sells out. Portions were generous, but not overly gigantic. Just right. I definitely want to come back and try some more gourmet fare here!!

2nd visit. We popped in on New Year’s Eve and luckily got seats at bar. All booked up. We had oysters, scallops, and bouillabaisse soup. Everything tasted great! Checked this place out for happy hour. Unfortunately no HH for drinks or food even though they open at 4pm. Got a beer and a burger. It was pretty good. Nothing to rave about. I’d like to try their higher end dishes next time to really see what the food is like. Bartender provided great service and welcoming.

I just had the best meal I have had since I moved out West 12 years ago! My plate was a work of art! The meat was cooked to perfection! The wine paired wonderfully with our meal and our waitress was so knowledgeable she described the wine perfectly. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner/chef and it was so refreshing to chat with someone with passion and vision. His love of the culinary arts shines through in every inch of this restaurant. We will be making this a regular date night outing! I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, you will not be disappointed.

After hearing glowing reviews from coworkers, I had to check it out for myself – and I’m so glad I did! I highly recommend making a reservation. We visited on a Friday night and were lucky to have one, as the place was packed! We started with the bread service, which was warm and delicious, and the crab cakes. Just a heads-up—if you're dining with more than two people, definitely order extra crab cakes! They were so tasty, but we each only got one. For our entrees, we chose the prime rib special and the scallops. The scallops were perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the broccoli had a crisp, flavorful touch without being overpowering. The prime rib was massive, cooked to perfection, and practically melted in your mouth—it was so tender you could almost cut it with a butter knife. To top it all off, the key lime pie was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Given the quality of the food, the pricing is very reasonable, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The aesthetic is elegant but has personable touches to the brand. A truly fantastic dining experience!
