Restaurants near Mathews Park

Everything was wonderful for my son's graduation dinner. Only complaint would be the parking. We had to park 2-3 blocks away in the AC Hotel lot and walk to the restaurant. It would be helpful if they provided better parking instructions or a valet option - wj9ch is what I expected. I am used to valet when I dine so this was quite frustrating after being at a college graduation all afternoon.

We love Ava. The food is so delicious; taste and presentation. Our servers were so accommodating. Every time we visit Winter Park we make a reservation at Ava! It’s perfect!

Service and food excellent as always. This is one of our go to places when taking visitors from out of town to a restaurant.

The food is very high quality. The home made pasta is delicious. I loved the sweet potatoe gnocchi, it is stuffed with burratta and in a delicious cream sauce. The Pear Ravioli is amazing (reminds me of a dish from Florence). I have also enjoyed the arrabiata pasta (spicey) with a side of meatballs. They offer a choice of a prefix menu which is about $60 pp or you can order alacarte. Everything I have had is very tasty and I crave their homemade pasta often. My only con is it can be very expensive place to go as a family for dinner, we are a family of 4 and it was just shy of $200.

Great food and great ambience. The brunch crowd at the restaurant makes it pretty energetic. This means that servers are doing the best they can and in spite of a short wait to get served they were excellent. We’ve been here a couple times and both times had excellent food and great drinks. Put this one on your list.
