AVANT
The appropriately named AVANT—meaning advanced and innovative—delivers contemporary California cuisine—duck, lobster, lamb, fish, or the pride of AVANT, Wagyu beef—in an upscale setting. Dark woods, leather chairs, and pillar-candle chandeliers adorn the mission-style dining room, and the upper-level bar shakes up handcrafted cocktails with their own double-barrel reposado tequila. The heated patio with a fireplace adds a touch of romance. Start with the artisanal cheeses or caviar with a side of Parker House rolls sprinkled with sea salt. The crudo bar draws a crowd with fresh oysters, beef carpaccio, salmon belly. Go big without regret by ordering the whole roasted branzino or Kerwee Farms Wagyu strip loin. For a VIP experience, reserve AVANT Table 65 where chefs prepare dinner in a private demonstration kitchen for up to 12 guests.
