   We began our meal with a glass of Assyrtiko wine and a well mixologist made Phoenician Old Fashion. Our palettes were now set for our delicious meal ahead. The octopus was tender and plentiful which was followed by the Black Truffle Risotto and the Kotopoulo Lemonato. The authenticity of the dishes are more generally “Mediterranean” and not specifically “Greek”. Our waiter, Darious, complimented our wonderful dining experience with his exemplary wait service and personality!

   The location and ambiance were excellent, but the brunch fell short, especially considering the price. I don’t mind paying a premium for quality food or a great experience, but this place left much to be desired. While there were plenty of staff members who were friendly and attentive when present, it took awhile to even get refills on waters. The food itself was underwhelming: the complimentary bread was overly oily, the avocado toast was basic enough to make at home, and the eggplant/shrimp pasta left me with an upset stomach. On top of that, they charge $80 for a $13 bottle of Prosecco paired with fancy juices. To make matters worse, the entire restaurant was smoky due to poor ventilation, leaving us smelling like food by the time we left—a problem you don’t expect at such a fancy establishment. Winter Park is known for offering quality dining at reasonable prices, but this spot seems to exemplify what's wrong with the industry—prioritizing profit over value and customer satisfaction.

   While the food was overall good, and the main servicer nice, the service overall was lacking for a meal that exceeded $600 for 4 adults. (18 percent service charge added automatically). The restaurant was out of 4 items early in the evening (signature drink, tangine, lemon sorbet among others, and we were not informed. In fact we started to ask what was NOT available before we ordered each course and still did not learn until afterwards. My husband and I shared a $70 branzino which was tasty, but poorly deboned at table and showed the server a pile of bones including a gill on my plate. Our companions were not brought their potato side dish until our main course was complete even though we asked several times. Our server recognized the problems and nicely told us our sides and desserts were not on the bill, but they were. Ambiance is fantastic but service and execution needs some attention from management.

   This place has it all. Fun energy but intimate table settings. Amazing presentation and incredible flavor all around. Our waitress Tiana was so fun and helpful and made sure we had the best time.

   AVA Mediterranean exceeded all our expectations! The atmosphere was incredible, with fantastic vibes, impeccable service, and music that set the perfect mood. We tried the mushroom risotto and the salmon, and both dishes were absolutely delightful, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. A special shoutout to our servers, Gabriel and Berte, who provided top-notch service and made excellent food recommendations. They truly elevated our dining experience. To top it off, we were surprised with a thoughtful gesture to celebrate our anniversary, which made the evening even more memorable. AVA Mediterranean is a must visit for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. We can’t wait to return!

    Food was good but a bit pricey for the serving. Very tasty and delicious. Olives were meh, steak was small but sooooo tasty! Our server Cassidy was amazing! Overall I’d definitely go back but in hopes that the servings were just a bit bigger! My honest opinion.
