MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT!! I have been coming here for at least two years. Everyone that I bring here just loves it because the manager goes above and beyond to make sure that we’re all happy! I love coming here. I wish she could open her own place cuz she is a diamond! The food is excellent, and the service is the best. That’s why I keep coming. 💯💯💯

We visited the restaurant around 5 p.m. and found it completely empty. We ordered calamari, octopus, pappardelle, and the steak pita. The calamari and octopus were excellent and easily the highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, the pappardelle was disappointing — it wasn’t actually pappardelle with ragu as listed on the menu, but rather plain fettuccine bolognese with a spoonful of ricotta on top. The steak pita was also underwhelming; the meat was very dry despite the waitress asking how we’d like it cooked. The pita itself was stuffed with fries, and fries were also offered as a side, which felt redundant.

What really stood out was the lack of options: on a Saturday evening, they had run out of beer and almost all desserts, with only two remaining. Considering the prices, the quality of the food and the overall experience didn’t meet our expectations .

I had a really nice lunch here with my wife. She ordered the grilled chicken kabob with a salad, and I had the Greek chicken wrap with Greek fries. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was also excellent, Cristy took great care of us and made the experience even better. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!

Rayne truly made our visit to Fava unforgettable! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm that set a positive tone for the evening. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she offered great recommendations that really enhanced our meal.

What stood out the most was her attention to detail—she made sure our drinks were always filled and checked in just the right amount to ensure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. The food came out incredibly fast, and she took the time to explain each dish, which added a personal touch to our dining experience.

Her dedication to providing exceptional service was evident; it felt like she truly cared about making our evening special. If you visit Fava, definitely ask for Rayne—she exemplifies what great service should be!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at FAVA, and it was a fantastic experience overall. I ordered the lamb chops, and they were excellent—perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. It’s clear the kitchen takes pride in what they serve.

The interior of the restaurant is really well done—modern, stylish, and inviting. It has a great atmosphere, although when we visited, it was completely empty, which made us feel a little out of place at first. That said, the quiet setting made for a peaceful and intimate meal.

Service was also top-notch. Attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish.

Great food, great service, and a beautiful space—I’d definitely recommend FAVA to anyone looking for a quality dining experience.

Had an amazing experience Friday night! Our server Frankie provided us with exceptional service, giving us his picks and tailoring a family platter for our party of 5 which wasn’t on the menu. Did the same with the deserts too! Will definitely come back!

I picked the wrong night to come here. Monday nights they host a poker game, they were loud to the point we couldn’t hear each other talk. The food and drinks were great but the atmosphere was not it!

Mother's day, plenty of tables 8:15 pm they said they couldn't take anyone else in a low voice, im sure the waitress didn't wsnt anyone to hear. They need to update their hours. Google says they close 10 pm

I have to admit, my first visit to this Greek restaurant left me disappointed. The service was slow, and the food didn’t live up to the expectations I had. I almost didn’t come back—but I’m so glad I gave it another chance.

This time, everything was completely different. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The service was prompt, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the meal.

And the food—wow. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The grilled burger was perfectly tender, the spicy sausage delicious and comforting and seasoned just right. The cocktails were also top-notch—clearly crafted with care.

What a turnaround. It will now be one of my favorite spots. Huge kudos to the team for the improvements—they’ve more than earned my loyalty. Highly recommend!

Had our event of 100+ people using favas absolutely delicious food (different venue to accommodate the number of
Guests, same delicious food) !! Their chef was able to handle the volume and the food tasted the same as our initial dinner for 2. The food was absolutely delicious. The salads, the pizza, the pasta, the shrimp, the steak to die for!! We were exceptionally satisfied!! The owner was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Will return to this restaurant and recommend to all!!
