Av Restaurant

The gist: An ever-changing vegan tasting menu with playful dishes in a sleek environment.
The food: Chef Harrison Ines offers a 14- to 16-course vegan tasting menu in which many of the dishes are transformed into items that resemble familiar proteins—like fried chicken drumsticks or shrimp rolls—or into completely new works of art. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get a seat at the chef’s counter so you can watch them make each one. Omnivores won’t miss the lack of meat and will enjoy a new take on plant-based food. The menu changes constantly as they rotate one to two dishes each week. Another bonus? The restaurant is BYOB.
The cost: The omakase is $140 per person. They don’t offer takeout or a la carte orders.
How to book: No walk-ins are accepted. Reservations are taken through Yelp.
