Avize - Atlanta (GA)

5 /5 K O: Such a chic, relaxed, ambient atmosphere. Service was attentive, playful, and set the tone for a great dinner. I love the creative yet intentional menu. It’s built from thoughtfully sourced, seasonal ingredients. Some dishes were a bit daring, but it worked. Everything from the cocktails to starters to mains were stellar. Overall, Avize was a delightful dining experience

5 /5 Justin Saunders: The food at dinner last night was not like other food that we eat when we dine out. The flavors were interesting and exceptional. I love a good steak or pasta or chicken dish, but when reimagined in those ways, its a lot more of an experience. Chef and the kitchen are nailing flavors and the curated ambiance keeps the dining visit exciting.

5 /5 Michael Robinson: My wife and I came to this restaurant to celebrate my bday and it did not disappoint! The service was excellent thanks to all of our servers (special thanks to Gabby). From the first dish to the last, all the flavors were top tier. We’ve bee on a mission to try out off of Atlanta’s fine dining offers and so far, Avize sits high up on that list for us. For the food, we started off with Pumpkin Gnocchi and the Venison Tartare. I could eat the tartare every day of the week! Both of this starters were excellent. We then moved on to the mains where my wife ordered the lamb and I the duck. Both of those dishes were excellent as well! Super creative. Finished the meal off with the crème brûlée and the pumpkin cheesecake. Chefs kiss. We will definitely be dining in at Avize again in the future. This place is special!

5 /5 Jayna Patel: The next future Atlanta Michelin restaurant has entered the chat. This was my second visit here tonight and yes, I came for the food. I embraced the concept of alpine dining and brought my husband here on this visit because we wanted a quick date night since all the kids were gone. Your best accomplishment Avize was winning my husband over. He was so hesitant to come here and afraid he may not enjoy the food but you sure did prove him wrong. From the beautiful eggshell starter to the salad to the pretzel buns to the carrot bolognese and bass, everything was done right. I must admit, I don’t eat red meat so this menu was challenging in that I was limited to my options but bravo! You guys nailed every dish I ordered. I actually took the leftover mains home to freeze and enjoy again another day (not sure they will hold up while on vacation but I had to try!). Looking forward to another beautiful meal here soon.

4 /5 Hannah Goodson: I’ve wanted to try this place since it opened. Unique and interesting menu items and a solid wine list pulled me in. We made a reservation and ordered cocktails to start. The cocktails were tasty but came with large rectangular ice spears. It was a little tricky to enjoy them without the garnish getting in the way because of the ice. I wasn’t a fan of the amuse bouche but the presentation was beautiful. We opted for the lemon pepper wet frog legs. These are VERY salty if you don’t opt for the recommended Chardonnay pairing. We really appreciated that each dish had a wine pairing and they offer full and half pours. We also got the white truffle risotto which was delicious. We split the ribeye and nearly missed the parsnip on the plate. It may have outshined the waygu, if you can believe it. As for dessert, the pumpkin basque cheesecake was good but the foam pepper ice cream was the star. It was one of the most unique desserts I’ve had in a long time. Really the only negative was during the wine service. The spray-style nozzle on the wine aerator got red wine everywhere and the person pouring didn’t seem to notice. Overall, the experience and food were solid. I liked that the dishes were a little unexpected. I would return for the risotto and the ice cream.
