The Gardens of Avila's Executive Chef David McWilliam attended the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, New York. While attending the CIA, Chef McWilliam successfully completed his externship at Charlie Trotter's in Chicago-recently named by Wine Spectator as "America's Best Restaurant. After graduating from the CIA in 2002, Chef McWilliam returned to his native California and worked as Sous Chef and then Chef de Cuisine at A.P. Stumps. Chef McWilliam brought his unique innovative California cuisine to the Gardens of Avila Restaurant in 2005. "I think that simplicity and staying with fundamentals allows the true essence of the food to shine through," says McWilliam.

Reflecting a blend of tradition and innovation, Executive Chef David McWilliam believes in sustainable agriculture and that food should be mindfully prepared, artfully served, and delicious. At the Gardens we feature Angus beef, line-caught wild fish, free-range chicken, artisinal cheeses as well as locally sourced, organic and/or pesticide-free produce. We also have an outstanding wine list that highlights the finest local wines from our world-class San Luis Obispo County region while offering complimentary corkage on all local wines.
