Ok I loved this place first and foremost. I have to get one thing off my chest before I give it the amazing review. I ordered the Pork plate which was 96 dollars. Wanted to treat myself. Flavor was decent but the meat was tough. Was no way near worth that much. I’m
Sorry but no. EVERYTHING else was amazing. Pasta delicious and handmade, pate and tartare were out of this world good. Wine was top notch! Service? Excellent beyond belief. Out waitress was so nice and helpful. The Sommelier was also so nice and was wonderful to have someone to talk wine with at dinner.
All n all this place is wonderful. Will be back for sure. Just not for that Pork dish.

This place is so awesome, a little retro too! The best part is the food and staff, serving up visual banquets all meal long!

Great food but service was bad, still charged 20% automatic gratuity. It was hard to get our waiter Ella’s attention.
Happy to pay 20%+ gratuity but expect great service too.

This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Smaller portions but absolutely delicious.

Do not recommend corporate menu/event space. Rice balls & olive oil cake were good.

Went here to celebrate my 75th Bday. The food was great, service great. There is just enough space between the tables to squeeze out. While we were enjoying our desert, a wine waiter came to table next to us, stood between the tables with his butt in my friends face! He could have easily stood in the isle. Very disturbing!

Our first time here, but recommend by serious foodie friends. We enjoyed the appetizers and entrees. A large staff of warm and energetic team members paid close attention to our needs. Best of all was my USS Oregonian mixed drink. The best cocktail I have ever had at a restaurant. Well played.

10/10 experience. The Halibut (not pictured) and Smoked Eggplant Toast were the star players for us!

Wowzers. This place knocked our socks off. The food is a flavor explosion in your mouth. Very seasonal. Couldn't get enough. The staff is amazing. They take such good care of you. We sat at the chefs counter and enjoyed watching the cooks in their element. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Seriously cannot wait to return.

Superb experience all around! Exactly what you want when you go to a restaurant but don’t normally find. We went for the Monday night supper. It was fantastic. Wine quality and sommelier service was also memorable. Highly recommend.

Both the front of the house and the back of the house were gracious and generous. The food was beyond delicious! It was a delightful dining experience for our family. Way to go Ava Gene’s. We will come back regularly!
