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!

Bar Italia was incredible and will be one of our new favorite date night spots. The atmosphere was great, and the food and service even better. If you’re looking for quality Italian food, this is the place!

Turci is truly the best spot in all of Central Florida! One of the best parts about Turci is their consistency. No matter if you are the only few in the restaurant or it’s fully packed, every dish comes out the way you’d hope and the level of service is always incredible. Not to mention the food is just amazing!

We got the lobster bisque and truffle fries to start. I LOVED the lobster bisque so much! We had never had fries cooked in truffle oil before so the flavor was weird, but they were yummy and crunchy. The bread was hot and fluffy! My boyfriend had the Elk filet, and he loved it! He said it was delicious and tender, and the mushrooms he added to it were juicy and flavorful. I has the filet wellington, and it came with parmesan mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was everything I dreamed it would be when I searched the menu and picked it before we even arrived. The pastry was super light and flaky and the filet just melted through with each cut. It comes with a sauce that they pour over it for you. Everything on my plate was high class and definitely worth it. The only thing I can say is that parking was hard to find, but that was because there was an event happening up the road, and the roads were blocked. Also, this wasn't a big deal for us, but the regular filets like a sirloin, ribeye, filet mignon or the elk filet do not come with sides. Just a heads up about that. Great place though! Highly recommend for a small celebration or girls nights.
