Restaurants

Avenues

Enjoy the culinary creations of Chef Graham Elliot Bowles, named one of Food & Wine Magazine's Best New Chefs in 2004 and nominated as a Rising Star Chef by the James Beard Foundation in 2006. Chef Bowles's culinary philosophy is based on the simple premise of allowing pristine ingredients to taste like themselves. This is achieved by following the recipe of blending equal parts of creativity, technique and aesthetics.

Pierrot Gourmet

A European-style cafe and wine bar. The menu includes salads, signature sourdough tartines, homemade cakes, pastries and dessert specialties. Perfect for private dinners and wine tastings. Pierrot Gourmet accommodates 42 guests, plus alfresco dining during warmer months.
