In 2012, Ava Gene’s burst onto the scene as one of Bon Appetit’s five “Best New Restaurants in America.” It hasn’t looked back. Combining a Roman-inspired menu with the best produce and meat raised by Pacific Northwest farmers and ranchers, Ava Gene’s continues to garner rave reviews from national publications and neighborhood regulars alike. This fall, we’re opening the doors on Thursdays for two alternating dinner series that each offer plenty of Italian-inspired classics, local wines, and a really good time.
