Came here for a friend’s birthday dinner. I quite liked the ambience. It has a classy, old-school feel with a warm, homely and slightly rustic style. We ordered the grilled octopus, grilled ox tongue, whole roast flathead, porterhouse and broccolini. The food was good overall, with the grilled ox tongue and flathead being my favourites. The service was friendly and attentive, although I felt the service was a little rushed at times. A more relaxed pace would have been nice. Overall, a good dinner and an enjoyable evening out.

Friendly and helpful staff from start to finish. We weren't rushed whilst we wined and dined on delish food. Midweek lunch with the girls was enjoyed immensely.

My wife and I had dinner at Ms Ava for our anniversary and we loved it! We had the crispy fired prawn dumplings for starters and the porterhouse for mains. Both were excellent! I had also flagged that my wife was GF/DF, and the staff went above and beyond to care for her needs. We also appreciated the fact that we were given complimentary glasses of wine in lieu of dessert, as they were unable to provide anything to cater for my wife's dietary needs.

We visited this restaurant to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and we had such a lovely experience. The staff were incredibly thoughtful and kindly asked us what kind of dessert we would like to celebrate the occasion, which was a really nice personal touch. The food and wine were both excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and enjoyable. The attentive service made the evening feel extra special. Definitely a great place for a birthday celebration or a nice dinner out. Highly recommended!

We had the $22 steak dinner. Steak was cooked perfectly, chips were to die for. Excellent
