One of my all time favorite restaurants is no longer one I will visit. I haven't been to Avli in a while,.....And it has really changed. Very few people on a Saturday night says it all. Allowing three young children the run of the dining room while screaming was the start! Service was very slow....and many servers waited around and seemingly did little. Food was mediocre at best. In today's world of expensive prices, I don't have the interest in trying again,

Avli has really changed since I was there last year. The food was delicious and the waiter was great. However, it has gotten very expensive and all sides are now extra. Very disappointing.

Mediocre food, presented without flair or enthusiasm. Very disappointing. How they've managed to expand to four restaurants is beyond me.

The food was good! My wife loved her fish and I enjoyed the gyros. Our server, Tina, was phenomenal! Thanks!

My wife and I had dinner here last night. The food was fantastic, especially the hummus and souvlaki. Emilio our server was great as well!! Would recommend!

We ordered take out from Avli and I’m sad to say it was not good and the food portions were ridiculously small. We used to always order out from there and it was fantastic but they must be under new management. It is not worth the amount of food or quality for the price. I hope it changes back to how they used to operate!

Highly recommend. Coming from Seattle, this meal was something else. Everything tasted amazing — flaming cheese, chicken skewers, pita and dips, lemon soup, mushroom filo wrap, and the chicken gyro. Our server was super nice and helped us pick the right portion sizes so we could try more without over-ordering. The bottle of sauv blanc tied it all together. We'll definitely be back.

It was very difficult to fine since it is in a mall type area & has no store front but we called $ the hostess did her best explaining where they were located! The ambience is cute appreciated the fireplace but it was a million degrees in the restaurant since it was unseasonably warm

Dinner was good. We held our menus while eating apps which is a huge pet peeve of mine. Chairs wobbled the whole time. It was really loud!

I was a bit disappointed. The food was a bit too salty and my husbands dish was overcooked (the octupus was very rubbery). Service was great but the ambience coud be improved.

The food was excellent and our server Anastasia was very attentive. My only complaint is that I was surprised, upon receiving the check, that I was charged so much for a few gluten free pita slices, which I received after asking for gluten free bread (I was allergic to the complimentary bread that was served on the table). Most restaurants wouldn't charge for this.

A bit hard to find but worth it. The dining area and quiet and comfortable. Good menu with plenty of good choices. Some good wine choices.

Food is well prepared and delicious. Well spiced and served hot. The soup is fantastic.

Service is attentive and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu.

Very good. Appetizers were outstanding. My beef skewers were very good but slightly to some.

Lovely restaurant, quiet, comfortable and cozy. Service was excellent and food delicious. There are traditional Greek Mediterranean dishes as well as other food on the menu. My chicken skewers were delicious, very tender and juicy meat with lots of flavor.
