    Everyone was friendly and helpful. We were seated just a few minutes after our reservation time. We were celebrating our anniversary, another family was celebrating 2 birthdays. It was noisy, but all in fun. The "cook" was very entertaining, and so happy. The food was delicious, and enough for another meal. We plan to do this again soon. They automatically add an 18% tip, which they tell you several times, and when you pay your bills, it offers small additional tips, or none, as your choice.

    Another incredible night at AVA! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy. The cocktails were expertly crafted and delicious, the perfect start to our meal. But the real star of the show was the salt-crusted branzino – it was cooked to perfection and absolutely divine. And a huge shoutout to our server, Arian, who was attentive, friendly, and made our evening truly special. AVA continues to impress, and we can't wait to go back!

    Tabla is a great place to grab some really good Indian food. The vibe is cozy, and the staff is super nice. They help you out if you’re not sure what to order, which is cool. The food is amazing—so much flavor! The butter chicken is rich and tasty, the biryani is just the right amount of spicy, and the naan is soft and fresh. If you’re into vegetarian food, the paneer tikka and dal are really good too. They also have some fun drinks with Indian flavors, which is a nice touch. Overall, if you’re in the mood for some solid Indian food, this place is definitely worth checking out.

    We had a great experience and the food was exceptional. A highlight for us what the gaucha named Lady who was so kind to us and made us feel so welcome. Most of the gauchos are polite but Lady was above and beyond. She was so thoughtful and made us feel like a friend was coming by to serve us every time she brought the picahna to us. She’s awesome!

    We love this quaint little restaurant in College Park. Although we live in Lake Mary, it is well worth the drive. Marcos, the owner, does the cooking and Rosetta, his wife, is always charming and welcoming as she visits us at our table. The servers are all very professional, gracious and attentive throughout the dinner. The water glass is never left empty. The food is spectacular whether seafood, pasta or meats. Appetizers are great especially the hearts of palm. The portions are reasonable and not oversized which we like. The wines are simple Italian wines and very reasonably priced. The desserts are also very tasty. My wife and I love this restaurant and will continue to frequent it.
