I was very disappointed with my meal on several levels; I reiterated in my reservation that i required a salt / sodium restricted meal. I stressed it again to our waiter upon placing my order. Despite this my quinoa side dish was too salty for me to eat and the salmon was sprinkled with additional salt flakes. We ordered the spanikopita but it was served with a dairy based sauce that was not mentioned on the menu. I do not eat creamy, dairy products, so the dish was compromised, in my opinion. Had this preparation been clearly stated in the menu, I would have requested that the sauce been served on the side. The dish was quite good but I had to wipe off the piece that I wound up eating. Lastly, the restaurant should serve larger portions of salmon when a customer “adds a protein” to a salad. This is the second time I’ve experienced this. It’s just not a good value for the money. The food was really good and high quality but our overall experience fell somewhat short of expectations.

We sat on the rooftop which is beautiful. But the service at lunch was slow. Good and 3 course menu was great.

What a surprise! Had read some negative reviews and were apprehensive, but everything was fantastic. We had the four spread sampler with Gluten Free pita and wow! Best gluten free bread/pita! We ordered it because my husband is gluten free and it was so good we got ordered a second serving. I’ll never order the regular. For an entree we shared the pork chop which we thought was better than 99% of those we have had out. The Greek salad was fresh and full of cucumbers and tomatoes, the right amount of feta and other ingredients. We ordered a side of fries to supplement since we were sharing everything and they were fine- actually not as good as everything else, but nothing to complain about. For dessert we tried the passion fruit crème brûlée- delicious! Great crunchy caramelized top and the passion fruit flavor was a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Highly recommend it. We ate on the roof and as the sun set the already lovely view transitioned to a magical night cityscape with the lights from the surrounding buildings wrapping you in touch of big city magic. Service was very nice. Our server had a lovely smile and was patient as made some changes (accommodating gluten free and salad dressing on the side etc. ) We will be back.

This time was disappointing. Service, food, outdoor dining was great except for the outbreak of knats or fruit flies. They were jumping all over on our wine glasses, water glasses and around our food. A lot of swatting on our end and frustration. We noticed other guests had the same issues. Told the server who seemed to know about it. She told her manager. We were disappointed in that the manager didn’t even seem to care. Didn’t come to our table to acknowledge the situation and or apologize. She could have perhaps offer to bring us indoors or comp us something on our check to help make the experience a little better. We left very disappointed

The food was beautiful, I definitely recommend the moussaka. My sister and I were accompanied by her 4 year old and the staff was patient and lovely and attentive to get us the food and the bill in a timely manner. This is a beautiful dining experience and I was glad to see there were a few children present.

This evening’s experience was below normal Avli standards. The food was salty and and prepared well. The zucchini chips were heavily breaded and salty. My normal favorite prawn dish was overcooked. The service was slow (could have been the kitchen) and slightly below average. The server was just walking around rather than checking on our food and providing status or providing new utensils for dessert (versus waiting until the dessert to come out and further making us wait while they got the utensils). I’m hoping this was an off night.

Awful experience that I won’t put into words… but very poor management follow up to an incident that embarrassed me with out of town guests.

Honestly not the best experience. Start off with the food calamari tasted like they were out of a bag frozen. I got the lavraki and my partner got the lamb chops. The fish was supposed to come with herb salad but it can’t with a couple things of grass on top (call me not fancy but I was expecting actual salad lol), the lab chops were very fatty as well. The service was all over the place I don’t think the server knew what he was doing honestly and the bussers brought wrong food too our table multiple times. The place is super quiet too like there was music but it was at a minimum so the vibes weren’t there. I thought I was gonna get the feeling of European summer there but it definitely ruined what I was expecting for it. Only thing I can say is the views are beautiful and the baklava Ice cream was a 10/10. The whole restaurant was a 6.75/10 in my humble opinion.
