   The restaurant is very nice, including ambience and service. The calamari appetizer was delicious. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food but I thought mine was disappointing. The halibut was overcooked to the point of being hard and dry. It was served over a couple of small pieces of fingerling potatoes which did not pair well with the fish. It was also under-seasoned and our server never followed up after bringing out the dishes to see if everything was okay. Mine wasn't a terrible meal but it was not great either....again, everyone else enjoyed their lamb and short-ribs. Overall, I'd go back but definitely try something different.

   Food was great! Love the crab cakes appetizer, prawn pasta and salmon entre. Service was much slower than usual. Our server took about 10 minutes to acknowledge our presence and part of the order was incorrect (although server quickly corrected.) When making the reservation I indicated it was our wedding anniversary but not sure why the information was needed, as there was no mention. It was our 2nd visit to the restaurant, and because the 1st visit was such a great experience we returned. On this occasion, it was a very busy evening in the restaurant so that probably attributed to our slow service. We like the restaurant, so will give it another try.

   The hardest part about dining at Avanti is deciding on the entree. I've tried them all and EVERYTHING has been GREAT!
