    Really tasty! The 4 of us all really enjoyed 3 spreads, zucchini chips and our souvlaki dishes. Drinks also were great. Dessert menu was uninspiring and we declined. Service was friendly, helpful, fast and efficient.

    We’ve dined. Here for years but it seems like many aspects have been upgraded: menu additions, bread when you come in, service, pace of dining (the courses used to come really fast/almost at same time), even upgraded French fries!!!! Good work!

    Avli is reliably good. The Greek salad is outstanding. Good to share as a starter. I’ve never had a bad dish there. And the service is always friendly and quick. Great place.

    Great place. All the food we ordered was nicely seasoned and cooked. The meals were generously proportioned without being a ridiculous amount of leftovers (saganaki, salmon taramasa, mousaka, gyros, blackened salmon, chicken, and a pastry with custard and strawberries). Servers were friendly, respectful, and efficient. The patio was lovely. The patio chairs were just passable comfort-wise, but on par with what you find at other restaurants.

    The food is good. Love the zucchini chips. Also delicious salad and fish. The initial service was a little slow and the noise level is pretty high.

    Prepare to have your mind absolutely blown, because this place is an absolute masterclass in pure perfection! From the second you step through the door, the energy is infectious, the vibe is unmatched, and every single senses-shattering moment feels like a celebrated event. The service? Flawless, vibrant, and so effortlessly warm that you instantly feel like royalty. Now, let's talk about what actually brought us here: the culinary journey. Every bite is an explosion of flavor that will literally make you stop mid-sentence, close your eyes, and just contemplate how food can taste this good. The balance of textures, the depth of flavors, the breathtaking presentation—it is pure art on a plate. You can feel the intense passion and craftsmanship poured into every single element of the meal. If you are looking for an incredible, unforgettable experience that will leave you grinning from ear to ear for days afterward, go immediately. Do not wait. Do not pass go. Run, don't walk—this is truly as good as it gets!
