Great food, nice ambience, friendly service. A great neighborhood spot with tasty cocktails! I'm sure I would come here loads if I lived in the area. The cocktails all have creative names, but most are pretty classic cocktails. I had the Cretan Bull, which is essentially a blood orange margarita. It was good! The menu is again fairly classic Greek dishes, served in pub food sort of portions. We got a bunch of different dishes and shared them. The saganaki and shrimp souvlaki were excellent, and I remember one of the dips being very good but unfortunately can't remember which one. Guess I'll have to be back to refresh my memory!

We had a dinner for three to celebrate my friend's birthday 2 days ago. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable regarding menu items. The ambiance was very calming when we walked in. It was clean and perfectly lit, I didn't feel chilly during this Chicago winter sitting by the door. I enjoyed my espresso martini, and my friends enjoyed their beverages as well The food was impeccable. From the fresh ingredients to the flavors to the presentation, no wonder why they got Michelin stars. Very well deserved.

Was able to grab a day of reservation for the outdoor patio. Service was very speedy and our waitress was more than accommodating. Drink option was unique, I opted in for the Dark & Kinky (mezcal based drink with pineapple, honey, sriracha). Cocktail prices were a bit steep ($15-21) Hummus came with either a side of pita, GF pita (+1), or veggies. We ordered with the GF pita and got an additional side of veggies. Was a little disappointed when the "veggies" were only cut up cucumber. Most entrees came with a side; roasted potato's could have had a little more seasoning. I loved the Greek fries! The fresh crumbled feta and very salty! Ambiance is hard to match! We sat outdoors despite the overcast weather. Lots of seating and very calm environment which was nice. Nothing like a nuzzled in restaurant in LP! Excited to go back and also explore the additional locations!

*chef's kiss* I love this place. I love that it's walking distance away. I came here with my dad for dinner. Neither of us had been here before. We did not have reservations, which I would probably try to make for a future visit. We opted to sit outside because it was SO LOUD inside - I couldn't even hear my own thoughts. It was gorgeous outside. I love the ambiance. We ordered as soon as we sat down and the food arrived almost immediately. From the food to the drinks, everything was incredible. We ordered a few appetizers, followed by the greek salad with lamb. And for dessert we split the baklava. Honestly, it was way too much food, but we ate everything because it was just that good. The family of 6 next to us had ordered one of everything to share, and I think that was so smart. Next time I think we'll bring the rest of the family and try that so that we can try the whole menu. The service was spot on. We never had empty plates or empty glasses. I felt that we were really taken care of. I can't wait to visit again!

I've heard that reservations are recommended but they weren't busy at all when we went around 3pm on a Saturday, so you might be fine just walking in. The service was the best I've had in a long time. The food came out promptly & fresh. I got the chicken gyros which comes with 2, and I got fries on the side. While the food was good, it felt very simplistic & had just the basics in terms of flavors and toppings. However, I'd still return because the food was still good and the drinks, vibes, and service were exceptional.

I came here for dinner on a Sunday evening with my little brother! There was plenty of cute outdoor and indoor seating. We ate outside and ordered the steak and salmon dishes. Our appetizer was the tzatziki with pita. The spread came with cucumbers too! Everything was seasoned well and tasted unique. It was a perfect summer dinner!

Avli is a cute Greek restaurant in Lincoln Park. My girlfriend loves Greek food so she has been wanting to try it. It was definitely worth stopping by. The saganaki is always a good option to start. Then, I grabbed some chicken souvlaki for the main course. Everything was delicious and hopefully I will be back again some time soon.
