The waitress was very responsive. The food was good, but the best Part is when you sit in the bar for Erin Ross 🎶 who sings. She is amazing and makes the whole experience. The next level. One of the only reasons we go. There is when she sings and we sit in the bar.

Celebrated my wife’s 52nd birthday at Avant and it was a perfect evening. Paul, our server, was attentive and knew the menu thoroughly, and Ann at the host stand was very accommodating. The Maine Diver Scallops, NY Strip, and Prime Angus Tomahawk were all cooked to perfection, and my wife, a retired chef, agreed. The signature cocktails were excellent, and the Wake Me Up Doughnut was the perfect finish. Highly recommend!
