Avec Beard

On Wednesday, the nominees for the 2005 James Beard Fellowship's Awards were announced. Local restaurant Avec was nominated in the Design and Graphic Award category for its design by Thomas Schlesser. The distinctive design features wood floors, walls, and ceilings, with a wine bottle wall separating the front portion from the rear. The narrow and intimate space is big enough for bar seating looking over the kitchen and a row of tables with custom wood furniture along the opposite wall.

Luckily, the food lives up to expectations set by the interior, with a great wine list, too. Makes me realize I need to return for another sampling.

Winners will be announced on May 2. Best of luck to Schlesser and Avec.
