    Great ambiance and manager. Food was very average and priced higher than cost. My husband and I are both very experienced in the industry and I think because of our knowledge we can be a bit pickier. I would expect a higher and more elevated experience.

    Based on the other ratings, we went into this dining experience with much hope. The NA cocktails were good but everything else fell flat. Much of the food was very bland including the slow roasted lamb shank. The service was also very subpar and the waiter was awkwardly silent after we answered his question about the food(we informed him that it was not good at all and the taste was very bland). Unlikely to come back

    Was our first time together Avli and we can not wait to go back. We are planning to go with our dinner club. Such a warm space, lovely decorated and comfortable. The service was excellent. He explained our questions carefully. The food was SO good. We enjoyed the hummus. My cocktail was fantastic, Cretan bull. Chicken souvlaki was so flavorful and tender and the walleye was also very flavorful, tad spicy. Then there was dessert, 3 choices, we had something that had bits of nuts and cookies with ice cream on top - man that was good! Not too sweet or rich.

    We’ve been to Avli with a group of 9, with two others, and as a couple. Every time the service and food have been wonderful. The waitstaff has recognized us from previous visits as well! The only recommendation my husband has is that they should serve a “chaser” with the Bloody Mary! Their drinks are fun and always changing. We will be back again (and again).

    My husband and I are self proclaimed foodies and this restaurant exceeded our expectations in service, ambiance and most importantly the food. My husband had the fish and I had the lamb, we enjoyed two cocktails each, an appetizer of 3 spreads with pita and a bottle of wine. We finished with Greek coffee and a chocolate dessert. Our waitress, the host, and the bartender were all so nice and the conversation was welcoming and friendly. The views of the city lights are wonderful and the seats are not crowded together. We both said we haven’t had such a lovely meal in a very long time (-and we go out a lot!)
