    I hosted a luncheon with friends that I had not connected with in a few years. We were given a private room which was perfect for us. We didn’t need to worry if we were disturbing others. Our waiter was attentive and recommended suggestion for us to consider. Lastly, we were welcomed to stay until we were ready to leave. I will be hosting at Avli in the future.

    The food was prepared very well and the appetizers were very good. The branzino had too many bones but very tasty

    Enjoyable restaurant with several different rooms to have dinner in. Service was good but the restaurant did get noisier as the evening went on.

    Always a great spot for good Greek and Mediterranean food. The service was fantastic and super friendly. Quiet night so it was nice to be able to talk. Food was good. It’s my favorite saganaki anywhere. Greek salad was good topped with Gyros meat. We’ll be back.

    Service was good-- not great. However, the servers were pleasant and welcoming! Food overall was good --not great. Little pricey for what we received. Don't think we will be returning.
