    Have been to Avli for birthday celebration 2 years ago. Food and service were fabulous. Not so much this time for lunch. The salad I ordered was bland and did not get much better with more dressing. My salmon was overcooked and also not very tasty. They did present me with a nice birthday dessert which was very good. The other guests had a similar reaction to their lunch choices. I don't know if they changed chefs or if this was an off day. I probably won't be frequenting this location again.

    Always enjoy the many traditional Greek food selections. Serving staff was very helpful and accommodating. Modest renovations/updates to the restaurant and bathroom areas would be appreciated. A good choice for dining in the suburbs for large groups or small.

    Everything about our experience celebrating my best friends birthday was great! Our waitress, I believe her name was Ava (I hope I got that right), truly made our day. She was super friendly, very knowledgeable, and quick on her feet. She also made amazing mocktails. We would definitely return, the food was also so good 👍

    We came to the restaurant for Mother's Day. The food was great, but the service was not. When we looked for our server he was no where to be found. We waiting 20 min for him to return. We will probably not return.
