Avli - Winnetka

Friendly service, great food wine that are well priced. A local fave.

The octopus appetizer was disappointing. Soft and mushy. Their bread was disappointing. However the entrees (short rib and pasta, and orzo seafood. Service was outstanding!

When we first arrived the person who greeted us seemed a bit upset that we were a party of four rather than our reservation for six. We had just left an art opening and some people decided not to join us at the last minute. He had saved us a table for 8 in a private space and was not pleased. But our waiter was delightful and attentive and the food was delicious so it wound up being a very positive experience. We all agreed that we’d definitely return.

This is my favorite restaurant to go to with my boyfriend! We go here for birthdays, anniversaries, anything and everything because we love it so much!

The food is always tasty, portions are ample and the service is friendly and helpful. Great neighborhood spot.
