We went to Avli for my husband's birthday on a friend's recommendation. Service was efficient but not rushed. We had a spread sampler (did not like being charged for extra pita though), beef kabob, gyro platter, and stuffed eggplant. All delicious. I appreciated that the wine list was relatively small but focused on highlighting wines from Greece... overall delicious.

SPIDERS and lots of them. We sat outside at a table near the wall and no less than 5 spiders came down the wall, or were going up and down from the ceiling netting to the table. We would have moved but the food had just arrived and it would have been to disruptive. We just abruptly left after a fast desert. Not sure if we will be going back, especially since Pomeroy is right next door.

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.
