Upscale Avo is a new chef driven restaurant in Mountain Brook Village. It is located in a new, brick building upstairs from its partner, more casual eatery, Dram Whiskey Bar. Avo’s ambience is upbeat and open. A curved wine rack separates the dining room from the hostess stand. Large windows above white candlelit tables, line the L-shaped dining room. A white leather banquette anchors the center of the space. Beyond the banquette is a semi-open kitchen where executive chef, Ben Kirk, and his cooks prepare a light, California style cuisine using fresh, quality ingredients, many of which are local.
