Restaurants near D C Latourette City Park

Amazing food in a great atmosphere. We always live coming to Nicoletta’s Table.

This was an anniversary dinner. Service was top notch. Our server was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive without being TOO attentive. We loved her. The restaurant was surprisingly noisy, but thankfully we were given a cozy table away from the main dining area. The food was a little different for us. My husband had the rabbit with mustard sauce, and although he’s enjoyed rabbit before, he thought the mustard sauce was overpowering the delicate taste of the rabbit. I had the butternut squash gnocchi and I savored those tender pillows of deliciousness. We both raved about our favorite part of the meal: the crispy broccoli side (with miso ricotta and pecan chili crunch.) FANTASTIC! Those flavors worked together beautifully. I had two non alcohol drinks. The caramelized pineapple shrub and soda was delightful and refreshing. I also enjoyed the mocktail “making fetch happen.” My husband had Earl Grey tea, and they kept the hot water coming. The experience was pleasant, but not particularly memorable, except for the waitress. She belongs at someplace like The Peak at Hudson Yards in NYC. They need to hang onto their fabulous staff!

Always a good meal but the Ahí salad is a favorite. Bring back the Nebbioltini please.

Avanti is my go to happy high end restaurant. The servers and owners are wonderful people, the food is always amazing, and they actually likely could charge more than they do for the quality. They have a diverse menu in the classic American style with strong French and Italian influences on many dishes and the sides with various entrees are always beyond surprising in their flavor. Mark’s crab cakes are probably the best you will ever have in your life and if you are there when they have mushroom soup available it is an absolute must.

Friendly staff. One issue with the food was some of the roasted vegetables were hard. Otherwise the food was very tasty and abundant sized servings. Atmosphere was pleasant and festive. I am happy that we came here for our Christmas dinner.
