On arrival, we were told that their supplier hadn't delivered the fish or steak for the top items on the menu, which we'd already decided on from their website. We rethought our plans feeling quite deflated, as the remaining menu was quite weak. 3 of our party chose the King Prawn starter, 1 without the chilli (which proved quite a spicy item). The standard versions looked good and our friends enjoyed them. My wife's version was visually different, in that her prawns were markedly browned on a side and rather dry in the mouth. All 3 agreed that 5 large prawns for £12.50 was not good value. My Garlic mushrooms on toasted ciabatta was lovely.... creamy, garlicky mushrooms sliced very thin - and a decent portion for £8.50. A very pleasant bowl of roasted corn and nuts had kept us going during quite a long wait for the starters. I'd have that again.For mains: a Haloumi Burger was enjoyed, a meatballs and pasta seemed dry and a bit mean. We 2 chose some small plates (sausage pot, croquetas, patata bravas and meatballs) and felt a little disappointed that nothing came with a little salad for the price.The decor downstairs is a little spartan and noise echoes - a party of lads at the next table were no trouble but were loud. Our friends had been some years before and felt upstairs was a nicer environment -but it was a Wednesday.Paying over £10 for a large wine - even though it was nice - and a final bill over £170, we didn't feel it was somewhere to go again.

The service was rapid, friendly and the waitresses were polite and professional. Overall the food was excellent (fantastic fish). The deserts were good but not up to the quality of the main. The wine list was good with some very reasonably priced good wines.

We had an amazing meal at Avanti, the staff were fantastic and the chef even sent my husband home with a doggy bag of gravy as he enjoyed it that much! The red velvet cheesecake was to die for!

Four of us visited Avanti on Tuesday 5 December food and service was excellent. We had the mushroom, tomato, ham starters and the star of the show was our main course we all ordered seafood tagliatelle - was truly outstanding full of fish. We enjoyed it so much we have booked to go again. Graham and his staff make everyone welcome.

Absolutely Superb! We hadn't booked, but the staff were lovely, and made us feel very welcome. It was a Sunday night, so most places in Kirkby Lonsdale were closed. It was like finding an oasis. Lovely atmosphere, with a great ambience. The food was out of this world! We had the seafood tagliatelle. WOW! The best we'd ever had. We were staying at the Royal, which by the way is a beautiful hotel. But our meal at Avanti, made our visit. A must for anyone visiting KL. x

We visit Avanti every time and book in advance as it?s always a busy venue to get in : This visit unfortunately the food was very mediocre . The service was particularly poor . The starter was literally thrown on the table , the food and service was fed back to staff .
