This was fun and unexpected. They say 5 courses, but it was technically 7 with the 2 amuses! This was a potato gazette with tonburi and horseradish. It was really cool because this caviar-looking this was a Japanese grass! Grass! Like what? It was so memorable and delightful. Like crunchy, yet soft? You could taste the layers of the potato. So creative. Hats off.
My bestie and I went to Avelo together and it was the greatest dining experience I have ever had, ever. They only do 5 tables per time slot. There is the 5-course time and the 8-course time. We chose the 5-course and I couldn't dream if eating the 8-course one. I was #SOFULL. LOL!
The ambiance was out of this world - just look at the photos! Our waiter had only 2 tables and he basically walked us through each bite. He was so attentive. He was the owner. So sooooo kind and cool. They had been reviewed by the Michelin star people, but sadly (and wrongly) did not get a star. But people: this is Michelin-star food! All of this for only $90 after tax and tip! It was insane! My friend and I decided that we will be going once a year at least! #sustainable #fairwages #farmtotable #local
