    My mum said it felt like she was back in the streets of Athens. Divine food. Genuinely delicious, simple Greek cuisine. Rosie and Evie were extremely warm and welcoming as always. A perfect night.

    Ms Ava is beautiful a lovely quiet dining area set within one of Melbourne's iconic & wonderful heritage hotels. Away from the crowds quietly located the service was excellent. My friend & I were well looked after by the bar attendant who took our orders for food & drink. He was very helpful & friendly. The food was delivered promptly we had the express menu. A good easy menu selection for lunch. The food was great well prepared cooked to perfection presented well. I highly recommend a visit.
