It was my wife's birthday celebration. C This is an energetic atmosphere but not noisy. The staff was professional and friendly. The cocktails were very good. The tapas were excellent and the paella was tasty. At one point, to our dismay, the delivery of food to our table was rushed. And kudos to management who made that situation right. We will definitely return.

Our waitress, Yeirin, made our night! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and absolutely on point with everything. She anticipated what we needed before we even asked, offered great recommendations, and checked in at just the right moments without ever hovering. The service was seamless, friendly, and genuinely above and beyond. Everything was perfect and she elevated the entire experience! 10/10!!!

Tapas were super delicious. I didn’t get a chance to picture them all. Paella was good but felt like it was missing something. 5 star service super friendly and helpful. Great place.

Love this place. Great assortment of cocktails. I've had better octopus here than I have in Greece to be honest. If it's your first time here with at least one other person, opt for a paella and tapas while you wait! It's loud in the dining room on a busy night so I seek out weeknights.
The food was very good. We ordered several of the tapas, I would have preferred several of them be delivered together. Each was delivered individually. Multiple servers waited on us bringing food and clearing plates. Sangria was very tasty, atmosphere was very good, music might have been a little loud to hold a conversation as I was sitting across the table.

Our first trip to this restaurant. Loved the atmosphere and food! Very yummy and fun trying a bunch of different tapas. 2 small things. Waiter was not very attentive but all the other staff was great! It’s the type of place where your waiter does not bring the food, other staff does. Waiter was training so perhaps he was distracted. 2nd thing is that the plates were bigger than needed for tapas. Perhaps that is why we did not get fresh plates between selections. It was necessary as each tapas had its own sauce and fresh plates very often would have been better. Oops forgot 1 more thing. I made a reservation. The app the restaurant uses asked if it was a special occasion. I put in that it was our anniversary. No mention was ever made about it at the restaurant. So why ask?

Wonderful food, delicious tapas. However if you have food allergies, beware. Brought friends last night for a dinner and they notified the restaurant that he has a nut and seafood allergy. He had an allergic reaction to the food. Not sure if it was cross contamination from the cooking utensils (as noted by the waiter) or some accidentally made its way into the meals.

Just had a delicious dinner at Aventura! When we made the reservation, I noted that we were celebrating a birthday. Every single staff member who we interacted with mentioned the birthday, and there was a cute birthday sign on our table!
We got a very nice table by the window. Our server Yei-Rin was super nice and enthusiastic. The drinks and tapas were great! Nice selection of mocktails, and a Spanish wine that I’d been wanting to try. We had the pineapple crostini dish which was a favorite. Also a good tomato carpaccio and the cheese croquettes. The highlight of the meal was the Verduras, vegetarian paella. We all loved it. After all of that, we had no room for dessert even though they all sounded delicious.
Aventura is a great place to go for a celebratory dinner. Highly recommend!!
we had a lovely time at aventura! the tapas were delicious and it the food we ordered was the perfect amount of food for 4 adults. Our favorite was the potatos and the shrimp!

Incredible upscale tapas and bar in the heart of Ann Arbor! Just stopped in for happy hour and was extremely impressed at the high level of professionalism, service and skill. The bartender made even classic drinks elevated and the cocktails and wine list were a cut above. Try some of the bites including the dates — could eat a dozen! We will definitely be back!

Great location Very nice decor The drinks are very good, even the non alcoholic The appetizers are just good ( fancy) good presentation and the portions are ok We got the paellas ( seafood and American) And this is where the experience went south Very thin layer of rice , on some parts hard and in some parts mushy , the seasoning is ok , the flavor of the seafood was bland The hostess are friendly and helpful The service was ok on a scale of 1-10 about 6.5 There was a 10 dll fee for bringing our b-day cake And there was a 10 dll fee for keeping the place preserved or something like that To that we add the parking fee ( which has nothing to do with the dining experience) Overall, the way that I see it is this If you are looking for a place to have some drinks, then yes But if you are looking for an entire experience where the food will play a major decision Then I would recommend you to choose a different venue

The staff were super accommodating to us as vegans.
We had the vegan paella, and 5 tapas options. Peppers, tatas bravas, mushrooms (this was amazing!), artichoke and the catalan bread. I think 3x out of 5 of these were customized dishes made for us with some substitutions.
Worked out around $50 pp, shared between 3 people. Pretty decent value for a very nice meal.

Nice Paella, no so good service. We did have a reservation, so that helped a lot. But it was not all that busy to be honest on a Friday night. We ordered the Paella early, this is must for all! But the tapas and salad all came at a different time, and the salad well after the Paella arrived. Our server said it was because the kitchen was backed up, I DO NOT buy this reasoning. Others that arrived after us received topas before ours...so, service is in need of an upgrade and I can see by other reviews this has been shared as well. This place is very expensive, so worth the try if you like Paella, if not, just an average expensive night out. Wine selections from Spain are pretty good.

Great location
Very nice decor
The drinks are very good, even the non alcoholic
The appetizers are just good ( fancy) good presentation and the portions are ok
We got the paellas ( seafood and American)
And this is where the experience went south
Very thin layer of rice , on some parts hard and in some parts mushy , the seasoning is ok , the flavor of the seafood was bland
The hostess are friendly and helpful
The service was ok on a scale of 1-10 about 6.5
There was a 10 dll fee for bringing our b-day cake
And there was a 10 dll fee for keeping the place preserved or something like that
To that we add the parking fee ( which has nothing to do with the dining experience)
Overall, the way that I see it is this
If you are looking for a place to have some drinks, then yes
But if you are looking for an entire experience where the food will play a major decision
Then I would recommend you to choose a different venue
