Ava's Kitchen & Bar offers a fantastic dining experience with outstanding food and a cool vibe. The menu features sharers, tacos, and delicious pizzas, with customers praising the food as incredible. The bar serves top-notch drinks, including amazing cocktails and a great selection of craft beers on tap, creating a real drinkers bar atmosphere. The drink menu is focused, boasting an extensive list of tequila and mezcal, with many quality options to choose from and none of the usual brands.
The food leans towards Italian/Mediterranean flavors, with refreshing takes on classics like arancini and octopus. Notable dishes include the grilled oysters, which some customers find surprisingly beef-like, the artichoke salad that is described as to die for, and the crab cake that is spot on. The tortellini is noted for its perfect balance of flavor and spice. The bar has a city vibe and impeccable service, with staff being described as friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable.
While the atmosphere can be loud, it remains fun and casual. Some customers find the place pricey, almost at New York City levels, but many agree that the experience justifies the cost. The drink menu, especially the draft beer selection and cocktails, is highlighted as a major draw, making Ava's Kitchen & Bar a must-visit spot for delicious food and drinks.
