    the good was good but not great. Service was quick but somewhat impaired by the server's limited English skills. Rather expensive for what we received

    Have been to the other Avli location and this one has very mediocre food. It was no as flavorful and came out semi-warm.

    Food and service were outstanding. We’ve been here many times before and always enjoyed it. This time, however, it was noticeable how the portion sizes have gotten smaller and the prices higher. I’d think twice about coming again for that price/portion combo. Too bad.

    We had a table for 9 in a glass walled room. Lovely service and wonderful food. The hot chocolate on a cold winter’s night was much appreciated.

    Avli had a Dj for Saturday brunch. Sadly, this was a disappointment for us. We were entertaining friends with this lousy background noise. Won't go to brunch at the Avli in the future.

    The restaurant is beautiful but chaotic and quite noisy. We often eat at the Winnetka location and expected the food to be similar. Many of the dishes sound similar but seasoning and prep are very different. None of the dishes we had seemed Greek - they spices used were very hot with none of the sublety of authentic Greek food. I had the chicken souvlaki which had a green pesto-like seasoning that was so hot that I couldn’t identify any of the individual spices. It came with a pita and a small container of tzatziki sauce. If you are looking for actual Greek flavor, give this one a pass.
