Executive chef Ahmad Alikhani, previously of the Cellar Cafe in Lakeview Towers and the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club, is opening a new restaurant just off Memorial Road between May and Pennsylvania avenues. Avanti, which opened New Year’s Eve, is an upscale casual, family friendly restaurant, Alikhani said. And although it’s attached to a Courtyard Marriot, he stressed Avanti is more than a place for hotel-goers to dine.
Standing Ape Count
Q: What’s behind the name? A: Anthony Hill singer: Well, it’s a play on words referring to the boxing term "standing 8 count" which gives a downed fighter a chance to recuperate from his opponents beat-down.
