Reviews
We started with the escargot, which was rich and flavorful. I had the pork chop with homemade sauerkraut and mashed potatoes—an excellent combination, perfectly cooked. My husband ordered the bone-in prime rib with carrots, and it was incredibly tender and packed with flavor.
The portions were generous—we even had leftovers to take home! We wrapped up the meal with the chocolate mousse, which was a true taste sensation.
We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Overall service maintained the basics – water glasses were refilled regularly, and plates were cleared in reasonable time. However, nothing about the service suggested refinement or polish. A mistaken order was handled appropriately by the front-of-house manager, which shows genuine care for the customers.
Dining
Seafood Tower
The seafood tower is where Ava June hits its stride, showcasing the best of its in-house raw bar. Each tier offers chilled, impeccably fresh selections that lean into the natural sweetness and salinity of the sea. At the top, a well-balanced tuna crudo stood out — delicate, clean, and thoughtfully seasoned and at a fantastic price point.
Warm Rosemary Focaccia
The rosemary bread stands out with excellent aeration and a beautifully grilled char. The accompanying butter strikes a balanced note between salty and sweet, while the radish adds depth and a refined touch to this elegant take on bread and butter.
Escargot
The escargot is perfectly cooked with a tender texture. Mild chorizo and herbs introduce the dish, followed by the earthy richness of the snails and delicate end notes of anise. However, the Pernod is not fully cooked out, leaving a strong, lingering bitterness that overwhelms the palate and persists when soaked into the bread.
Pork Belly Confit
The pork belly opens with a rich, fatty flavor, giving way to sweet middle notes of apple and cider, balanced by a hint of bitterness from the frisée. A solid rendition overall, though a few pieces leaned dry from over braising.
Charred Cabbage
An absolute standout and a classic Tack. Each bite begins with vibrant gochujang, softens into the delicate bitterness of butter soubise, and finishes with a gentle heat that lingers at the back of the throat. The charred cabbage adds an extra layer of depth, elevating the dish to the highest realm of excellence.
Choucroute Garnie
This take on the classic Alsatian dish features a beautifully cooked pork chop with notes of sweet honey, crispy breading, and juicy pork. The sauerkraut adds a sweet-and-sour element, while the mashed potatoes offer a familiar, comforting profile. However, ‘Choucroute Garnie’ implies a variety of meats, and the lone pork chop falls short of that expectation.
Braised Beef Bourguignon
A beautiful take on a French classic, with rich beef, a tangy red wine reduction, and finishing notes of onion. The creamy polenta was flawlessly executed, adding smooth texture and subtle hints of horseradish. However, one piece of meat was noticeably dry.
Hamburger A La Rossini
The burger offers a pleasant flavor profile, beginning with classic beef and melted cheese, followed by a faint truffle finish. However, there was no discernible depth or richness to suggest the use of wagyu, and the foie gras in the aioli was undetectable.
Seared Duck Breast
The duck breast was cooked to a perfect medium, though the skin lacked the desired crispness and had a tough, rubbery texture. The Rancho Gordo beans offered a bold, beautiful, smokey depth—flavorful in their own right, but too assertive to harmonize with the more refined, flavor profile of the duck.
Chocolate Pudding
The pudding opened with sour notes from the crème fraîche, transitioned into rich chocolate, and finished with sweet, nutty hints from honeycomb candy and peanut. The texture was dense and thick with a grainy chocolate filling and visible specks throughout.
Our waiter did a great job (unfortunately I don’t remember his name). Their seafood options looked delicious and I’ll add them to the dinner pairing next time.
