   Terrific experience! Our server (Tiana) was tremendous. Knowledgeable about everything on the menu and made great recommendations. Everything we had was exceptional. Especially the sea bass carpaccio.

   A Taste of the Aegean with Unforgettable Service From the moment I stepped into this Mediterranean gem in Orlando, I was transported to the sun-kissed shores of the Aegean. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with just the right mix of coastal charm and upscale comfort. But what truly elevated the experience was not just the exquisite cuisine—it was the exceptional service from our server, Eli. The menu is a celebration of fresh, vibrant Aegean flavors. We started with the grilled octopus—perfectly tender with a smoky char—the fried zucchini, which offered a generous amount of tzatziki was one of the best I have ever had. The tomato and feta salad was fresh and perfectly seasoned. For the main course, we had the salt crusted Branzino fired up at table side and deboned, this was a standout: Also the chicken which came in a tagine was juicy, herb-marinated, and served with apricots that were meltingly soft within. Every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully seasoned. Eli made the experience truly memorable. Attentive without being intrusive, he anticipated our needs with grace and offered insightful recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. His genuine enthusiasm for the menu and clear passion for hospitality shone through in every interaction. Whether you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or just looking for an exceptional dining experience, this spot is not to be missed. And if you’re lucky enough to have Eli as your server, you’re in for an unforgettable evening.

   I recently dined at AVA in Winter Park and have mixed feelings about the experience. The food was absolutely fantastic—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. However, the service left a lot to be desired. We experienced long waits between interactions with our server, and at times it felt like we were completely forgotten. Getting refills or even placing additional orders took much longer than expected. It really affected the overall flow of the evening. I would return for the food, but I sincerely hope they improve the speed and attentiveness of their service. A place with such great cuisine deserves a front-of-house team to match.

   It was good but not great. Food was good it just didn’t blow me away. The octopus I had was very good. Some other dishes seemed to be over salted. Service was excellent. I can see why others like it but for me at over $300 for 4 people with only two drinks at table it was overpriced. They were kind enough to tell me the 20% tip was already included.

   The atmosphere is just lovely. The beautiful bougainvillea throughout add such great color. The seating invites you to sit and relax. We did not feel rushed and our waiter was helpful and professional. The food was excellent. I had the Greek omelet which was moist and flavorful with a variety of mushrooms in it. My husband had the grilled octopus which was tasty and tender. Great experience!
