I've eaten here numerous times and the food is always excellent. The staff and owner are also fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Tried it out based on Yiftee.com's (often has buy one get one gift cards) Lake Forest list. Great first impression: easy parking (in Foothill Ranch's giant plaza), warm greeting, friendly strolling violinist live music Friday night. Menu is fun, especially desserts! I ordered the Avo Chicken, one of their signature dishes and it was flavored well. The falafel was fried well and crispy. However, service is on the slower side and there weren't many of us in the small place. They forgot the ice cream on the soufflé and it took a while to correct. Overall I would recommend! I'm curious to try more desserts

I normally really dig this place. We ordered the Avo as it was the most popular. Unfortunately, the chicken was really dry and very disappointed. We may or may not go back. Wife was pretty bummed. Great small business though and friendly.

Omg where do I start about this fabulous restaurant! My husband and I have previously ordered to-go from Bravo Avo (BA) and found the food incredibly delicious and healthy at the same time! While deciding where to go for what we thought would be a "light bite" on Valentine's Day because we both worked that day, my husband stopped by and made reservations with BA for a 7:30 p.m. seating. When we arrived we had no idea that our 2024 Valentine's Day dinning experience would be everything but a "lite bite!". When we walked in there was a violinist serenading the entire restaurant with beautiful Romanian Love music that although we didn't know the songs; it definitely set the mood for a night of love! We were then seated at a table with my name on it and beautifully decorated in addition I was given a bag filled with some lovely gifts from the restaurant. There was a pre-fix menu for the night that was perfect in every way and valued far beyond the cost. My husband and I ordered two glasses of their house blend red wine at the suggestion of the co-owner and it was wonderful. The meal entailed a charcuterie board with three different spreads, pita, dates, salami, olives, feta cheese and so much more! We were then served two Greek salads, two meals with rice, fish, chicken and gyro! Lastly they ended the meal with a dessert for two and a bottle of champagne! I know that Carmen, the other owner, is passionate about her restaurant and serving tasty healthy food and kudos to the chef because everything was amazing! If you are ever in the area Bravo Avo is definitely a place to stop by and try all the fabulous entrees. Bravo Avo is always posting nice evenings that includes some form of entertainment so do yourself a favor and check them out. We will definitely be returning on a regular basis and Thank you Carmen and Adonis; the night far exceeded our expectations!

I've only ordered takeout so far, so I can't speak to the ambiance, but the quality of the food and service has been outstanding each time. I tried their gyro sandwich a few months ago when I was having an insatiable hankering for a gyro, and it did not disappoint. The sandwich is generously filled with flavorful gyro meat, fresh and crisp veggies, and comes with a side of tzatziki. It's the perfect portion size that fills you up without feeling like you need a nap afterwards. I recently tried their Combo Bravo, which includes a generous portion of sliced gyro meat, seasoned chicken breast, and tender zucchini on top of a bed of rice, a side salad with dressing, a warm pita, and a side of tzatziki. It was a well-rounded meal with a little bit of everything. I also really enjoy those little "thank you" stickers that they put onto their to-go containers. It warms my heart to support a local business that clearly takes great pride in their food and service. Hot Tip: They participate in the Shop and Dine Lake Forest BOGO gift card program, which makes everything basically 50% off. Am I girl-mathing right?

My wife and my go-to for Greek food, especially Gyros. Great food. Although it changed hands in 2023, the new owners have stepped up and made our experience a good one.

I love the restaurants ambience. Beautiful setting. The food was absolutely amazing . The salad was tasty and presented beautifully. I have fresh grilled veggies on my plate as well, which is great.
We returned for the Spanish music night, the calamari were excellent and so were the appetizers! The house wine red was als

Excellent food, service and ambiance. We stopped in for lunch while out running errands. Had a really tasty Greek salad and my husband had the gyro plate. Both were very good. The customer service was great. We will definitely be back.
