The Avery
Restaurant case file
A practical, best-effort guide to planning the meal. Unknowns remain visible rather than being converted into assumptions.
Operating intelligence
Read the service constraints before the plate.
Direct-confirmation checklist
- Is the service format I am booking (dining room, lounge, tasting, patio) the one I intend?
- What is the current deposit, cancellation window, and maximum party size for this seating?
- Can this kitchen accommodate the specific dietary restriction without converting an unknown into a guarantee?
- What is the step-free route, entrance, and restroom configuration for this party?
- What is the expected all-in cost after service charge, pairings, and supplements?
- Do the published hours and last seating still match the reservation time?
- What room, capacity, and minimums apply for this party size or private seating request?
- Are wine pairings, corkage, or tasting-menu beverage packages required or optional tonight?
- Which of the remaining unknowns materially affect this occasion, and who will confirm them before arrival?
These questions are generated from published evidence and unknowns. They are not a substitute for speaking with the restaurant.

Deep Dish
Where these records go to be decided.
Deep Dish is the instrument built on top of case files like this one: which place fits the occasion, what the tradeoff is, what still needs confirming before you book. The Avery has not been taken into that corpus yet, so this page is the current record for it.
