Server was slow but knowledgeable

Food and service were both 5 stars.

Nice ambience but food was basically mediocre.

Went for Brunch. Great service, Avocado Toast was excellent. Bottomless Mimosas were excellent. Good Ambiance, Very loud but not overwhelming. Would Definitely go back A+++

We went for brunch. We were pleased with the amount of outdoor seating in the midst of COVID, but it seemed like service was dragging a bit out there. Coffee was cold, and creamer and "Bottomless Mimosas" were hard to come by. While my Avocado Toast was delish, my dining partners' Italian Benedicts could have used a little more pizzaz on the plate - no color to speak of and the potatoes were just "meh".

Waitress was too busy to handle the table with attention. Food was tasty but too expensive for what we were served.

Great food great service

Food was disappointing. We have dined here before and had much better. The Maddon's double play and bolognese were VERY underwhelming and did not meet our expectations from the menu descriptions or the server's description. Also we were sat next to a large party of 20 when other tables were available.

For the price of my brunch meal, I excepted more steak. The waitress was friendly , but could have been more attentive. The brunch menu could have had more Italian choices on it.

Food quality and selection is high, but the service was poor. Staff needs a huge overhaul to be up to the level that their food and pricing demand.

Nice place. Specially for young people. The food is good. The level noise is hight

Great menu and drinks, love the outdoor dining!

Wonderful! They did a great job accommodating and serving our large party!

A little overpriced but still good. Enjoyed my time there

Amanda was friendly and gave us great service. Ambiance was perfect the food couldn’t have been better! First time here for brunch and will def be back

The mushroom pizza was amazing! Great size and definitely more of an entree than an appetizer but no complaints from me. Scallops were great also, super tender. The flourless cake was great but a bit dense. Overall a great experience there. Beautiful place id definitely return.

Disappointing experience. The food was subpar and service was behind.

Date with wife and son! Great food and experience! Waitress and staff were attentive and friendly! I’m sorry I can’t remember her name, Bethany maybe? Fantastic!

We sat outside because the inside seemed a little small and there were a lot of people here. The bottomless mimosas were delicious for brunch, the food could’ve used a little more flavor for the price but overall it wasn’t bad, we had a good time.

The food was good but the service wasn’t up to par. They were training a new bartender and we waited on one drink for more than a half hour. It was a late seating so there were very few people there so that wasn’t the issue.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Drinks were delicious, appetizers were prompt. We had a pizza and the lamb shank for dinner split between the two of us. The chocolate Nutella cake at the end. The atmosphere was excellent and we enjoyed our conversation while listening to light music in the background. Will visit again soon!

Friendly, efficient staff, great recommendations, nice outdoor dining experience on a Monday night.

I sat outside. It was a beautiful day and the noise level was not loud, perfect. Only issue I had was my mussels were too hot/spicy, but I am sure others might like it that way.

Tiny portions, esp for an $8 biscuit and gravy starter. 1 biscuit and a teaspoon of sausage gravy. $9 cocktail was ok. Breakfast bowl. I chose grits over potatoes....grits at the bottom, 2 eggs over medium, cheese on top. 1 sausage link and 2 slices of bacon. Normal tasting. No toast. $16. Sunday brunch. I was still hungry. Ava only had “ok” reviews. I think Metro Diner or Oxford Exchange is a better option. Server was inattentive. I love a good brunch experience. Disappointed.

The food was subpar. Avocado toast was non toasted bread with unseasoned guacamole on it. Not good. Also the waitress was horrible! We asked for vegan options and she responds with “yeah it’s limited probably not many options.” Not accommodating or suggestive with options. Did not go above and beyond. Barely checked on the table. And her service was horrible!

This was our first time dining at Ava, and we were disappointed. First let me say the manager tried to make amends for the things that went wrong by comping our drinks and dessert - we were impressed at his gesture. When we arrived for our reservation, the hostess was very rude. She wanted to seat us at a table that would have been suitable for one diner but not two -- not to mention it was in a high traffic area. I politely told her we did not wish to sit there and asked for another location. She got on her high horse and informed us our only other option was a high-top in the bar area. She then said "we have reservations coming in here all the time". I told her that we also had a reservation to be honored. As I looked around, I noticed there were a lot of vacant tables and booths. I asked about tables in the side room where only two people were dining. Again, she had an attitude and went back to the front desk. She finally took us to the room I had inquired about and seated us there. By the way, the room was 66 degrees - very chilly. The men behind us were very cold and asked their server to make the room warmer. We both ordered the same pasta bolognese which was tasty. However, my dinner was a nice hot temperature, but my husband's was completely cold. When we informed our server, she immediately apologized and informed the manager who then told her to offer us free drinks and desserts. There are so many great restaurants in Tampa that I am not confident we will be going back.

Great service!

Very enjoyable

Will not return. Was excited about going based on reviews but was very disappointed. The warm ricotta appetizer had no flavor . The vegetables on my entree were salty and the steak was burned.

The entire experience exceeded expectations! We will be back.

Had a great time at brunch! Service was on point and we had bottomless mimosas which we’re a great deal!

Went for brunch. Food was decent but overpriced for being so.

Wonderful brunch and great options. Kudos to the kitchen and the waitstaff was very knowledgeable as well as responsive. Happy dining!

Great food. Great location

Excellent service and food was prepared ASAP. The octopus appetizer was tough and not worth the premium price. Our two entrees were good (chickens Parmesan and gnocchis with two filets). Overall a good one time experience.

The experience can be summed up as “it’s alright nothing special”

All around excellent experience!

We always have the best food and experience!! We love AVA!!

Service extremely impersonal and the chicken parmigiana and basil pasta were just fair.

Very nice,like like sitting out side.
