Bistro Avera — Restaurant in Town of Lewiston

You don’t eat here to fill your stomach but to enjoy a fabulous culinary experience by an absolute master chef. The portions are smaller than in the best chain restaurants, but the quality is head and shoulders higher. I’m a seafood fanatic, and the black bass in lobster broth that I had was as good or better than any of the fish dishes I’ve had in restaurants around the world that pride themselves on their seafood.

Every single entree we shared was amazing. Probably one of the best places I've ever had dinner at ever.
