   This place has it all. Fun energy but intimate table settings. Amazing presentation and incredible flavor all around. Our waitress Tiana was so fun and helpful and made sure we had the best time.

   AVA Mediterranean exceeded all our expectations! The atmosphere was incredible, with fantastic vibes, impeccable service, and music that set the perfect mood. We tried the mushroom risotto and the salmon, and both dishes were absolutely delightful, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. A special shoutout to our servers, Gabriel and Berte, who provided top-notch service and made excellent food recommendations. They truly elevated our dining experience. To top it off, we were surprised with a thoughtful gesture to celebrate our anniversary, which made the evening even more memorable. AVA Mediterranean is a must visit for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. We can’t wait to return!

   Food was good but a bit pricey for the serving. Very tasty and delicious. Olives were meh, steak was small but sooooo tasty! Our server Cassidy was amazing! Overall I’d definitely go back but in hopes that the servings were just a bit bigger! My honest opinion.

   I decided to take my wife to this place for her birthday and it was quite disappointing. They sat us at a table where i was continuously bumped into and hit the whole night. When we went to order our food which was Brussels sprouts, octopus, tuna tartar and rice. The server took the order said we made good choices. He then came back and said they were out of Brussel sprouts. My wife took some time to think and then said okay I would like the Caesar salad. He came back a minute later again and said they were out of that as well. We ordered another salad. The food started to arrive and 20 minutes went by with the octopus still not at the table. We flagged down the server since he had not come to check on us to only discover he forgot to put in the octopus which is what my wife really wanted for her birthday. The salad was delicious though and the highlight of the experience.

   I had high hopes for this restaurant after making a reservation four months in advance, but the experience left much to be desired. We arrived at 7:15 PM for a 7:30 reservation but weren’t seated until 7:45. Despite our planning, the table seemed hastily put together—it was cramped, positioned next to the kitchen and a wall, and left half our party squeezing to get in and out. The food, unfortunately, didn’t redeem the evening. At $30-$80 per plate, the quality was underwhelming and not worth the cost. To make matters worse, the restaurant was filled with smoke, likely due to a malfunctioning kitchen hood. The overwhelming smell of garlic and pepper made it feel like we were being pepper-sprayed. The staff had to prop open a door near our table to ventilate the space, leaving us exposed to the chilly air, which was particularly uncomfortable for my 85-year-old grandmother. The ambiance was another disappointment. The website suggests a relaxed, fine-dining atmosphere, but the reality was quite different. Loud, rowdy guests and music reminiscent of a nightclub clashed with any expectations of a refined dining experience. Overall, this was an incredibly disappointing visit. For the price and anticipation, the experience was far below standard.

    My absolute favorite restaurant. We drive from Tampa to go to Ava. Service and Food are outstanding. My husband and I love this place. You will not be disappointed. Dress code? YES! Thank you for that Ava. If you insist on going out in public in your pajamas and crocs, skip Ava! Put yourself together, snappy casual with the coolest of vibes and plan on having an exceptional dining experience. ♥️
