Ava Takes You Away

By DISH Contributor: Robin Reimer
With new restaurants opening in H-town almost every day, it seems as though the
vernacular is always shifting. That being said…there is a new sheriff in town!

Ava Kitchen & Whiskey Bar: Located in the new West Ave in the Upper Kirby District.

It is Houston's most seductive new restaurant with a NYC vibe. Floor to ceiling windows
overlooking the new lights of the city, the new 2727 skyrise…and the oncoming luxury traffic of the Upper Kirby District.
Owned by the renowned Schiller/Del Grande Restaurant Group you sould of course assume greatness and creativity. Ava is downstairs and meant to be in conjunction with Alto Pizzeria which hasn't opened as of the writing of this story.

We couldn't help but let you know what we indulged in on our server's small plate suggestions:

Gulf Crab Meat Cocktail $18
w/ Tomatoes & Avocado Creamy Avocado Sauce


Roasted Stuffed Squid $12
w/ Shrimp Sausage & Mediterranean Salsa Verde

Ceviche of Yellowtail $14
w/ Mango | Jicama & Fresno Chile

And the most heavenly indulgence of all was the dessert:

Chocolate Profiterole
w/ Candied Hazelnuts

Ava Kitchen & Whiskey Bar is Houston's hottest place to be, and has found a new forever home…in Houston...to stay!!!
