   Everything was great! Only concern was that where we were seated was extremely warm and humid.

   Of the three Avana was probably my least favorite. The menu is overly complex and expensive for the portion size. The Oxtail pizza was good, but not sure what the dough was made of it took away from the toppings. The salad was pickled not my favorite and I was just disappointed by the cheesesteak dumplings and peach cobbler cheesecake. (not enough peach toppings and again the price for the portion size. I'll stick with Amina and Fiya.

   Food selection is minimal. I don’t think the prices match with the selection. There were no combo choices where everything is included so if you want sides, prepare to pay for each one. If your children are picky, don’t bring them. If you’re vegetarian or pescatarian, this isn’t ideal for you. The drink I had was good (similar to a lemon drop). Ask for Journey (waitress) her customer service is exquisite.

   Went for Mothers Day had a reservation for 5:45, my mom my son & I arrived at 5:40 checked in with the host and was told there weren't any table available and to have a seat in the waiting room area. After sitting waiting to be seated literally 3 parties of 2 were being seated immediately. I let more time go by 6:1 5 comes I asked the host how much longer for a table she said she didn't know & the next one that becomes available we will be seated. We didn't get seated until 6:30 no apologies & it was not crowded. Food was good

   A beautiful atmosphere with friendly staff and patrons. A gem on Ben Franklin Parkway . From the waiting area to the bar area, this restaurant itself is beautiful. Modern fun artwork on the walls with a hip cocktail after work vibes the design of the restaurant is nothing short of phenomenal. The corn bread is so dang good . My wife liked the catfish deviled eggs . The lobster mac and cheese is in an actual full lobster . I thoroughly enjoyed the penne al a vodka because the sauce had a little kick to it . We all had the brussel sprouts, which did not disappoint. We will definitely be back to try the oxtail pizza and the other items on the menu . Hats off to the owner for a job we'll done .

    Everything from the ambience, drinks, food, and service was amazing. Our server Ebony was busy but still ensured that we were well taken care of, her menu recommendations were spot on. The braised oxtail pizza, lazy lobster mac, and lamb were all so delicious. Chef Darryl greeted our table and we had to rave about the wonderful experience!
