    It was a hot day, and we had the patio to ourselves. Waiter could have checked on us a bit more frequently (would have served more wine), but otherwise a great experience.

    Have to say it was not a good experience. Food was OK nothing special and then the service was lacking. Ordered it flaming cheese didn’t come with anything to eat it with so we ordered pita and it came after we finished the flaming cheese would probably skip this if I were you.

    The Greek chicken was very salty as was the veggies that were served on the side. The salmon entree was also salty. Diana’s salad was good

    The menu and food quality are excellent and extraordinarily consistently excellent. The waiters are uniformly attentive, warm and kind. The dining rooms are clean, spacious and quiet places to dine. I love Avli.

    Have walked by and driven past many times but never thought to stop in - I’m glad we finally did for a birthday. Service was impeccable. Staff was attentive and quick. Strong drinks. Food came out fast and hot. Options for everyone on the menu. We will be returning!

    Nice setting with very good service. The food was a bit disappointing- chicken gyros- chicken was quite dry, Greek chicken was just OK.

    Amazing fresh and authentic Greek food! We’ve been here several times and we will continue to come back. Service is excellent, prices are reasonable and the flavor of everything we’ve tried has been top-notch! I live in California, but when I visit back home to Chicago, I always come to eat dinner at Avli!
