I planned a work dinner party for 11 last night at Avila. We were NOT disappointed. The cocktails, wine and food were great. I got the crispy whole Bass. It came on it's stomach and stuffed from the top. It was an interesting presentation and absolutely delicious. Everyone else seemed to like their food - from fillet Mignon to paella to veal chop. The apps and sides were tasty. (I especially liked the 'richness' of the truffle mac-n-cheese and the yucca fries). Even the simple roasted beets were earthy and caramelized perfectly.
We sampled several reds and whites - all good. My favorite was one of the Chardonnays (I forget the name)

This is one of the Steve DeFillipo places. It is as consistent and expensive as it's neighbor, Davio's.
