    We LOVE Avli! The hot Meze items are all so delicious - the phyllo shrimp are an absolute must have every time we go. The lamb chops were tender, flavorful, and fantastic. Greek meatballs, zucchini fritters, spreads, and the GF pita are all wonderful. We shared the blueberry frozen yogurt with baklava "cigars" and could not believe how fabulous the frozen yogurt was. Better than the best frozen custard I've ever eaten. Our server was delightful and attentive.

    Bar service was disjointed even chaotic. Once we got to our table, the service and food were wonderful. Excellent choices, fair prices and great view of the cityscape.

    We had a great meal at Avli! We got there earlier than our reservation, so we had a nice drink at the bar and then were seated promptly at our appointed time. We did a variety of hot and cold meze and made a meal out of that. Favorites included: dolmades, zucchini fritters, octopus and an amazing dish with cheese and peppered fig. Service was attentive without being intrusive. I had been to Avli previously but my 3 guests had not—everyone began to plan return visits.

    We made a meal out of mezes - appetizers. The saganaki had a crisp crust and was delicious. Perhaps my favorite dish was the shrimp appetizer. The only down side was many tables packed close together and the noise level. I understand they used to have loud music which made things worse. There was no music (that I could hear) and that helped a little.

    Orders to Chicken Rignati and it was dry. Does not come with any sides. Sides overpriced. Do not order Greek fries . No flavor , too much paprika and asked for dip and was given pita and tzatziki, which we were charged for another side . Only good thing was our cocktail, which was $10 during the happy hour. Waitress obnoxious

    My family had never been here before & we loved our experience! Olivia was our server and she did a lovely job explaining the menu & giving her recommendations for both drinks and food. We all thought the cocktails were delicious and the food was outstanding. It was a quieter night at the place, so not too loud and everyone had a great time!

    My first visit to Avli... the service was excellent, craft cocktails were a hit, and the food was delicious. There were four of us and we split 3 appetizers, which was perfect... the strawberry concoction for dessert was really, really good too!
