These guys crush it every night. I've been enjoying their food since the Tualatin days. The double cut Pork Chop, might be the best chop ever to enter my pie hole. Salmon cooked perfect, every damn time, and a risotto which could make an Italian priest cry. Just eat here, but not too often. I don't want it too difficult for me to get my reservation.

We love Avanti! We have been eating here for years now. Fantastic food, great service and fun vibe! We also love that it is in the suburbs; easy parking.

Our “go to” restaurant- my husband and I sometimes come in twice in one week as it is hard to beat the delicious food, good service and personal service.
If you have a chance to dine here you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing dinner with outstanding service. I had the special which was swordfish. Incredible. Others had the pork chop, fish and chips and bolognese ... all beautifully prepared and delicious. Jaclyn was our server and she was a total pro!

The food is always amazing. We had the ranch steak that was on special and the crab cakes. Delicious!

We get Avanti's to-go. almost exclusively. They have a convenient side door where you pick it up.

This is a busy little place tucked away in the back corner of a shopping area. Very friendly and helpful staff. 100% order accuracy over many orders.

We love their shrimp and pasta, and their bread is amazing.

My favorite restaurant in the West Linn area by far! Food is always deliciously consistent and the service top notch. My favorite dish when they have it is the halibut because the sauce is delicate and lets the fresh fish shine. Great wine selection and thoughtful well designed cocktails. Love introducing friends to a great restaurant!

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.

Excellent food! I had the roasted chicken with truffle risotto and broccolini, and my husband had the salmon. The food was incredible. We sat at the bar. I had a couple of mockcocktails that were very good. My husband had a glass of wine. We love the ambience and the service was top-notch will definitely be returning.

Avanti's Restaurant is easy to get to, plenty of Parking, and great atmosphere to dine in, fantastic food, some of the best selections I've seen for Bourbon and wine. For dinner, I enjoyed the Brazed Short Ribbs, and it was fantastic. For dessert, I had the Creme Burley, which was also amazing. I also enjoyed a double pour of the Wheller Full Proof. I am definitely returning again for another amazing dinner.

Last night we enjoyed a memorable birthday celebration dinner at Avanti... our first visit!
All of the great reviews we've been hearing from our neighbors were true...appetizers were divine and the entrees were sumptuous. We enjoyed the massive smoked porkchops and flatiron steak, mushroom soup and key lime pie. And there was enough to take home for another meal each!

Having said all of that, the BEST part of our meal was the wonderful coaching and care from our server Sarah! Knowledgeable, prompt, efficient, cheery and a tad playful, Sarah made it a night we will all remember.

We'll be back to see you again, Sarah! And we hope to meet owner/chef Mark the next time.

What great food so pleasant

Steve Krandel

This was a truly outstanding meal. Everything we ate was great. Even the bread was better than most places.

We were greeted by the owner who was the hostess for the evening. She was very nice.

The place has an informal vibe and the bar is VERY busy. The whole place is small, but every table is full.

I started with the Lentil and Sausage soup. It was simply a flavor bomb. The shortribs were better than any I have had anywhere in the country. The Bananas Foster Bread Pudding put a cap on what was a perfect mean. Can't wait to go back!
