awful food for the price, and they served all the dishes to us at once after an agonizingly long wait . the old fashioned was alright

Sooo, you think you go to Avant for the food and service, but after finishing your dish, you realize it was a couples art making experience where every piece is one of a kind/unique. Who needs pottery making when you can go to Avant!!!

The service is good, the food is better, yet! The bar is best. True full bar. Black Manhattan was elegant.

Great food and great drinks. Get the strip loin. Very tasty. Amazing cocktails as well.

We had an amazing dinner tonight. I don’t often leave reviews, but I had to for this place. Blaine was the friendliest server I’ve encountered in ages. The restaurant is so cozy and warm. The food was perfect. Can’t wait to be back.

Everything was great. Daniel Suggested a great wine from the Alsace region of France which paired well with the carpaccio’s appetizer as well as our Secreto and Branzino entrees. Josh was great will definitely be back

Here’s a review you could consider:
“We had an amazing experience at Avant at the Rancho Bernardo Inn! The ambiance was perfect, and the food was incredible, but what really made our night unforgettable was the staff. Baely, our food runner, was attentive and so kind, making sure everything was just right. And Ariana, the bartender, crafted some of the best cocktails we’ve had. She was personable and knowledgeable, and it was clear she has a real passion for what she does. These two truly made our evening exceptional. Highly recommend Avant for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and outstanding service!”

Had a wonderful dinner, Parker house roll was the perfect way to start off our meal. We shared the seafood tower (prawns were my favorite), and salmon belly sashimi. The salmon belly sashimi was one of the best I have had. Our waiter, Blaine was excellent! He gave some excellent recommendations and was just a pleasure to be around. Looking forward to going back soon.
The food was fantastic, every dish was high quality and delicious. It was our anniversary and the team went out of their way to make our evening special. We will certainly be back!

The beef Wellington and “donuts & coffee” were both so delicious. Cocktail selection and wine list are also top notch. Service is excellent. Hadn't been here in over a decade and really glad we came back. Look forward to returning!

The food was good, but certainly not great. For the prices they charge, it should have been outstanding. We have had many restaurant meals that were at least as good for half the price that Avant charges. We dined there on a Friday evening at 6:00 PM and the place was nearly deserted. I do want to mention that our server was excellent, and the overall service was very good.
Parker house roll and gougères were on point. Wild blue bass was fresh flavorful simple but amazing. Service was exceptional attentive. I will definitely be back. Shoutout to the whole team at AVANT.
