Avanti Food & Beverage

Your mileage will vary at Avanti F&B, since it is a "collective eatery." As a trendy counter service dining hall with modern indoor and rooftop seating, you are free to pick what you want from a variety of vendors. My food from Knockabout Burgers (pictured) was REALLY good. The Goat Cheese and Prosciuto Burger may be my new favorite burger. The fries were a tad oversalted, but that was helped by the dipping sauce.My family had more mixed feelings about their food. The Plain Arepa that my family shared from Quiero Arepas was bland and undercooked. My brother enjoyed his Buffalo Chicken Bowl from Bowls bu KO, but the fries that came with my grandma's Steak Frites from 22 Provisions were not seasoned well. I can't speak for the other vendors that we didn't try, but an evening at Avanti is worth it for Knockabout Burgers alone.

My son wanted to take me out for a bday dinner and I picked this spot. I know it's been around for a bit but for some reason, I just hadn't made it in until now. We arrived after finding street parking (it can be tough in this neighborhood depending on the day and how busy the restaurants are) and picked a spot upstairs near the deck. It's two floors with outside space on both levels. You seat yourself and scan the QR code at the table to get the menus for the restaurants inside (it is a food hall after all). You place your order via your phone and you'll get a text when it's ready. This allows everyone in your party to order whatever they want from any food tall easily. Once you get the text, you head to the pick up window for that food spot. Our server waiting on us for drinks was friendly and explained how everything worked. The music was perfect. It was loud enough to add to the ambiance without being so loud, you have to shout at each other. So many places get this wrong. We ordered a meatball pizza with hot honey. Man, so good, we finished it up in no time. What I really appreciate about this spot is the view. Wow, what an amazing view of the Denver skyline. The patrons were all so chill visiting with each other but also staring out into the dreamy view. I will definitely be making more trips here. They have happy hour all day on Sundays for football and it seems like it would be the perfect way way to spend a day in the fall "sweata weatha". I'm in!

Avanti is always a great place to go with friends, family or coworkers. It has so many different options for different pallets. This time, I went with friends and had the ginger peach margarita and a quesadilla. I would order both of these items again! They were very good. I really, really, really enjoyed the ginger margarita! The service is alway quick and it's a fun atmosphere.

Fun experience, though our local son says it's too crowded to be enjoyable on weekend nights. Wasn't too bad on Sunday night, though parking is a challenge anytime. Be prepared to walk a bit.We enjoined a chicken sandwich from Knockabout, shrimp quesadilla from Ama', and arepa from Quiero Arepas - all good.The burgers/sandwiches are piled high, with crisp French fries. Quesadilla was loaded with shrimp and cheese. Salmon arepa was unique and flavorful.Upscale spot with lots of options.

Cute food market hall with a downstairs and upstairs seating area. Plenty of seating at 930pm. Unfortunately most but 2 places closed so we had limited options in food choices. Fortunately what we ordered wasnt half bad. I ordered from Ama mexican and had the shrimp tacos as well as a fried avocado and elote taco. The flour tortilla was very soft and chewy. Shrimo taco was delicious. The avo and elote taco was meh. It was a big blob of mess and the fried avocado was overpowering so couldn't really taste the other garnishes.Cute little place just to hang. Limited street parkingMy friend ordered the burger. He said it tasted like a burger. Nothing special. The parm fries were good. Too generous with the parm.

I really haven't met a food hall I don't love and this one meets all expectations. We came on a Saturday afternoon with another family that also had Littles and had no problem finding a good spot to sit. We all ordered on our phones and got a text when our food was ready. We all got to get what we wanted which was fun! The bartender lady comes to you and takes your drink order which is also nice. Everything we got was yummy. Highlights being the plantains at the arepas place and the bahn mi. I also got a whole coconut with its fresh coconut water inside and that was a fun treat! Other than everything being "downtown denver" pricey and parking sucking we would be back for sure. You can valet for $20

Came in on a week day late at night and the only thing open was the bar. We decided to have a few drinks. The service was fast and friendly and the drinks were great. Overall I look forward to be back during the day to try the food from different sports.

We were visiting from out of town and stopped in to see some friends local to the area. I liked the idea of a "food hall"/bar that would allow us to try different things. I really liked the decor - I think the way they set up the seating made it very easy to find a nook to hang out/catch up with friends. The main detractor (and I'm not sure if this is Denver in general?) was that it was SO expensive (we were visiting from the DC area) The drinks at the main bar when you walk in were good but super pricey. I felt service was very good at the bar and they do a good job at checking up on you wherever you set up in the food hall. We tried the arepas and shared fries. Again, probably the most expensive arepas I've ever had. Portions were large, taste was OK?, but the price made sampling different things difficult. I was fine tipping for bar/table service, but it made me feel a little irked when they asked for a tip for the food that you go up to the counter to order (on top of an exorbitant base price). If I were in the area again, I probably won't be back. It was fine to try once but there was nothing stellar about it.

If you want the stereotypical "city hipster" experience in Denver, this place is definitely up your ally!I don't mean it in any negative way, either. The whole approach of having a shared dining experience all dedicated to one building is pretty much an artsy-fartsy thing, but it does have it's interesting experiences.Like, your whole crew can order different things from, essentially, different kitchens and they all get served to you (or in our case, had to pick ours up at each place due to their service limitations). So it definitely helps if you have a pack of friends who cannot decide on one thing.The food here was a bit more on the pricier end, but as I said, definitely here for the hipster appeal. The food is still good enough to at least try once.

Go to the Mexican/taco place. Get the queso. Skip the salsas. Thank me later. Best I've ever had. Very spicy but in the best of ways!
