Food was good, sort of crammed in, music too loud to hear each other talk even though we were foot away. Screaming crying kids. Busy night. Some of the food was great, but otherwise nice meal. Service was very good, great wait staff.

Ava never disappoints. Tiana is our favorite server. She always has great menu suggestions. She suggested this delicious gin and tonic that I will order every time now. The green beans and the horiatiki are my favorites. The filet melted in my mouth. Thank you for another great meal.

Everything was wonderful. Only issue was they automatically charged us a20% operational fee. When I asked the hostess about it I was informed it's a fee that gets distributed to the front of house team and some of it goes to my server. So I ended up paying another 20% in order to make sure the server got a tip. There were only 4 of us at dinner so I'm uncertain as to why this was automaticity added on and we weren't informed of it beforehand. But everything else was fantastic. Server, Darius was a pro and provided unparalleled service.

Outstanding dinner service starting with exceptional caviar and cold Sancerre. Hanger steak is not to be missed but save room for next level baklava and the olive oil cake. It's not which one but always both.

We had a lovely family dinner at Ava! Gabriel our server was amazing. He was so accommodating to us and our little 2 years old daughter. He even fashioned a special cup for her of a to go container as we forgot her sippy cup! The food was delicious. We had the bream, the dips, the halloumi (our daughter's favourite due to the fire spectical), Greek salad (we LOVE the feta), spaghetti and meatballs (from the kids menu for our daughter) and the octopus. Ever single dish was fantastic and we barely left anything behind. Our little one loved the fish and her pasta. Looking forward to getting back to Ava very soon!

The food was outstanding, and the service was personal and professional. The attention to detail was amazing as well. The restaurant itself was stunning, and I loved that you could see the kitchen.

We had the most amazing dining experience for our anniversary!!! Some of the best food in the Orlando area!

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.

It couldn't have been a better experience! The drinks, food, and service were marvelous! We will definitely return soon!
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!

Place was really pretty, great music, and food 10/10. Víctor was amazing! He had us try the best menu items. He's golden Ava!

The ambiance and service were amazing. The food and wine were delicious but food portions were small. Overall five stars.

Everything about our night here was perfect. The food was incredible — you can tell they put a lot of care into every dish. The cocktails were amazing too, super well balanced and honestly some of the best we've had in a while. Huge shoutout to our server, Kalia — she was so friendly, on top of everything, and made us feel really taken care of. Can't wait to come back!

Is there any better customer service that I know of? NO!
If someone knows about customer service, this is AVA. They made my friends and I feel very comfortable.
The food is incredibly delicious and is very well served.
The music overall is amazing as well!
I want to specially show my appreciation for this unique experience to our waitress, Josh C., who made our experience perfect and took care of every single detail during our visit. BIG THANK YOU Josh!!!
