Avant Tapas & WineAwesome...48 wines to sample and great food, simple small portions or larger dinners. Li e music, a view of the winery making facility, friendly people and nice owners.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGreatI really felt this place was great on every level. The food (good variety, full flavors, fair portions); wine (they have a cool wall of wines to try with a card they give you at the table--and the selection is fair); the service (our server, Katrina, was attentive and knowledgable and very friendly); atmosphere was relaxed and nice, but not too fancy and not too loud. I felt there was a great attention to detail. I enjoyed every moment and every bite.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAvant is a really practicalAvant is a really practical place to try different wines. However, the food is the hidden gem. We had an outstanding meal. Of course, the pizza's are raved about, but the cpus cpus salad and the pork vegetable soup of the day had us gushing. Locals know of this find and you should too.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food combined withExcellent food combined with over 50 wines by the taste of half/full glass makes this one of the best "hidden" places in SB wine Country. Weekend live music adds to the experience. Just wish it was open later in the evening.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AM
