    Our dinner at Andros was outstanding. We went there for the octopus and were not disappointed. It was tender and delicious. The appetizer of stuffed grape leaves was also tender and our other main course of lamb chops seasoned perfectly. A side dish of peas was very tasty. Service (Christina) was also excellent.

    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!

    Excellent food and excellent staff. It’s always nice to see the waiter we have seen for quite a few years. He is wonderful and very friendly. The other staff members are outstanding as well. Nice to see a few of them have been there for a few years. We always return, the food is exceptional.
