    Warm service from reception to wait staff. Excellent lamb roast w potatoes. Greek chicken soup outstanding. Finally orange pound cake with cherries and pistachio gelato was a great finale along with a Greek coffee, medium sweet.

    I enjoy this version of Avli as much as I don’t like the other versions. The restaurant is nice and a pleasure to sit in. The service is good and people nice. The food is also good and the price is not bad. I would return and recommend it.
