Amazing experience! Absolutely loved our experience at Harlow’s Grove. The atmosphere was incredible — warm, cozy, and the perfect dim lighting for a romantic or upscale dinner night. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated and elevated without being pretentious. The in-house made pasta was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. You can truly taste the difference in homemade pasta, and every dish felt rich and authentic. The presentation, service, and ambiance all came together for such a memorable dining experience. If you’re looking for a beautiful date-night spot with amazing food and an intimate vibe, this place is definitely worth visiting.

We’ve never had a bad experience at The Back Room. This time I had the Sunday special: Prime Rib! Delicious!! My wife wasn’t as hungry as I, so she had coconut shrimp appetizer, beet salad, and the short rib egg rolls. As always, the service was impeccable and the owner checked on us two or three times.

The whole place was great from the first face you saw to the last face you saw they where all helpful to each co worker and the food and drinks and service was amazing

This restaurant is one we will be going back to again. We loved the food and extremely attentive service by Holly and the manager. The burger was so fresh and delicious as was the filet tidbits with onion straws and dips. I had the seared sea scallops which were true to its name- large, and cooked to perfection. Even the sides, asparagus and spinach, were cooked perfectly and so tasty. We ended the meal with Mississippi Mud Pie which was so satisfying and delectable. The feeling is so happy and vibrant inside. This is what going out to dinner is all about for us.

We can't recommend AVA Enough! The food was absolutely outstanding. Each dish was a delightful explosion of flavors that truly showcased the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. Our server, Gabe, was amazing! He provided impeccable service, making us feel welcomed and valued throughout our meal. Additionally, Mario, the sommelier, was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us choose the perfect wines to complement our dishes. His recommendations elevated our dining experience to another level. The vibe in the restaurant is electrifying; it truly makes you feel alive! It's the perfect atmosphere for any celebration, whether it's a special occasion or just a night out with friends. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at AVA Mediterranean Restaurant. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food, excellent service, and a vibrant atmosphere!
