Has anyone been to Avo recently?

Have a weekend trip to Nola in early Feb, and would like to give Avo a try. It's been on my list for many years, but never got around to try it. I don't see it mentioned on here too much. Just curious if it's worth a rare date night.
Bistro Daisy and Brigtsen's are other options, but it's been 4-5 years since I've been to both.

Went around Thanksgiving and would return. Good food and service. Nothing earthshakingly amazing but very solid. The other Uptown "date night" Italian place I would consider is San Lorenzo.
Not a diss on Vincent's. It's just a different vibe
Looking forward to what the Costera guys do with their place. And not Uptown, but excited for Tana in OM.

Went a few weeks ago and it was good as ever.
Burrata and Beets (I believe it was beets)
Meatballs
Lasagna (personal weakness)
Elk Steak and green pea risotto holy crap this was good

That looks fantastic. I'm sold.

That Elk was one of the nicest dishes I have had in a while. I hadn't had elk other than ground or roast before that meal and when they said steak I kind of was meh, thought it would be tough.
I was dead wrong, like a prime rib type of texture going on, but had that nice elk flavor.

Love this place
Haven’t been in a while
Charred octopus and the Lasagna
Maybe the best Lasagna I’ve ever had

Went Saturday night. It was a top 3 meal for me in recent memory.
Started with the charred octopus and Caesar salad. I love how they crumble the croutons so you're not biting into a hard square. The octopus was different, but tasty. Really meaty.
Wife had the gulf fish and I had the veal parmesan. They did not have the elk steak as it was a special not served that night. I really wanted to try the lasagna, but I'm a sucker for veal. Had a side of truffle gnocchi and succotash.
Finished with pistachio almond gelato and a chocolate gelato. Service and ambiance were top-notch. Very lovely evening. I typically don't go to the same restaurant twice in a year when traveling to Nola, but I will be back this year.
Now I need to check Saba and Saffron off my list.
