I came for the first time to celebrate my Birthday. The hostess Ella was beautiful from the beginning even though I was a few minutes late she still accommodated me. Then we had the great and super charismatic server Dominic, he was very sweet, gave out recommendations and treat us wonderfully. The food, dessert and drink was amazing!!!!!! I’ll definitely be back! Thank you for the great service Dominic! Until next time, On any given day, we may stop for a bite to eat. On this particular Sunday or any given day Ava should be on your menu. Jose and Abe provided fantastic service and the staff complemented that mindset. 5 stars is hard to come by. Yet they deserve it. The food warrants a visit from the Michelin judges., We had a fabulous first meal here with outstanding service from Dominic. He helped us navigate the extensive menu with plenty of recommendations from each section. We enjoyed the Greek spreads, the meatball, the delightful Horiatiki Greek salad, the lamb served under a dome of smoke, the ice cream trio and the fresh made baklava. I wish we'd had room to try more, but that's all we could hold and more on a first visit. The service was so good I didn't even mind the automatic 18% service charge, which I usually find a huge turn off. Outstanding experience we look forward to repeating again soon. This place is a keeper., High-end gastronomic dining in charming Winter Park. Treat yourself to this experience. Beyond excellent food and service. Knowledgeable staff provide insight into the restaurant, the regions it showcases, and the ingredients of the meals. Kudos to chef Kevin, waiter Dominick, and assistant Levi. Give the night club below the restaurant a whirl as well. Five stars, "My wife and I had the pleasure of celebrating our anniversary at Ava Restaurant, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived and were warmly greeted at the bar by our amazing bartender, who guided us through the menu with expert recommendations, to the impeccable service we received from servers Josh and Abe, every detail exceeded our expectations. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and made our evening truly memorable. Ava Restaurant is now our top choice for special occasions!
