    I took a friend to Avli on Wrightwood this evening for her belated big birthday celebration and it was perfect. We ate al fresco (they had enough heaters). The food was excellent and very tasty. As I looked at what others were having, everything looked delicious. The service was excellent and I love eating outside! I can't wait to go back!

    Amazing neighborhood location. The menu offers Greek dishes with a contemporary flair. Everything we ordered was delicious and well worth the price. Great portions. Fresh, colorful, and flavorful plates adorned our table. The ambiance -- bright, simple -- a Mediterranean feel with a splash of urban. Staff truly enjoy working there. All were welcoming and ready to serve. We will definitely make this a go to place for future meals. You have to try this one!

    The quality of the food has really improved. Were Greek so have high expectations. The only feedback I’d give is the pacing: the lavraki (which was outstanding) came out with all the other orektika and mezedes. Otherwise, you all are doing SO much better than when you opened. Congrats

    We live a couple blocks from Avli and probably visit every couple months. It's always solid. Nice cocktails, good food, and the service is always on point. Great spot during the summer with lots of outdoor seating. Worth the stop if you're in the neighborhood.
