    It was OK, except the waiter could/should have been more attentive.

    We dined on a Saturday morning for brunch. We had a male server who never checked on us, he was hard to understand, & was kind of rude. My Avocado Toast was also burnt & I did not eat it. I had to ask the bus boys for lemons & salt/pepper. Not a good experience at all. Probably won’t go back.

    I've been to Avli a few times and every visit has been outstanding! The fantastic servers are attentive without being obnoxious. The menu options are diverse and each more delicious than the last. And Alek our sever was both sweet and knowledgeable. Make a reservation and enjoy a spectacular meal!
