    Averna has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always delicious and the service is always phenomenal. My husband and I have enjoyed several dinners at Averna and I always big recommend it to friends and colleagues! I was disappointed with our dining experience Saturday night. We had a reservation for 8pm for 4 people. A credit card was required to hold the reservation which was a new occurrence at this restaurant ( maybe because we had a larger party ). I didn't have a problem with that. However, upon our arrival at 7:50pm we were abruptly told there would be a wait. I didn't have a problem with the wait even though the hostess could have been more polite. As we waited, the wait staff quickly proceeded to set up a table by the front door. As I watched another group of 4 who arrived after us being escorted into the dining room, the owner said we would be seated by the front door because the dining area was full! I very politely said I would prefer not to do that because it was so cold that evening !! He said there was a heater & assured me it would be warm!! Then he disappeared and we were seated !! I didn't want to make a fuss BUT it was FREEZING and every time someone opened the door the wind blew in and it was VERY UNCOMFORTABLE! Honestly, I think we were seated there because one person in our party was wearing jeans ( clean jeans but jeans nonetheless!) ! I really was disappointed! Eating dinner by the front door was unpleasant and I believe we were treated this way based on the appearance of one member of our party. I am unsure if I will return!

    We love this restaurant! The staff is amazing, always professional and friendly. The food is top notch and consistently delicious. The only downside is the acoustics in the restaurant, it’s very hard to hear each other and the waiters. Other than that they get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from us!!!
