"I made a reservation for a Tuesday night and was greeted by the hostess who rudely said your table is here when we arrived and pointed to a table in the take-out area. Since it was my first time here, I assumed this was the eating area, but I was wrong as person after person was escorted nicely to the back restaurant area. People with reservations or not were treated warmly while we sat in the hot take-out area as people sat crowded around us as they waited for their orders. I ordered the Chicken Piccata which was one piece of fatty chicken. By the time the waiter checked on us my husband was almost done eating so I refused to wait for another piece of chicken. I did ask the waiter about other seating and he nervously laughed saying there were two other restaurant seating areas. We got the check and left and walking past the restaurant part we saw there were plenty of tables in the restaurant part so there was no excuse to seat us in the hot take-out area. Horrible experience, do not recommend."

We were awarded the opportunity to have Nick at the bar assist us with our dining experience. The brick oven pizza is on point, and they have Naty Boy in tap. Thanks Nick for a stellar evening.

We had Detroit style pizza- the first in our life. It is a deep dish pizza baked on a square metal sheet. It was excellent. Our waiter Nick was helpful and provided service with a smile. Great place for a casual lunch.

8pm reservations and the restaurant was chaotic. They were understaffed and continued to take reservations and take out orders. As of 8:30pm, not one server came to take our order. We left. Don't waste your time. Meal type: Dinner Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Really enjoyed our lunch at Ava’s. The chefs favorite pizza was quite good, as was the homemade Parmesan potato chips. The beignets were huge and delicious. Highly recommend. Great atmosphere and nice staff. Plenty of good wine selections and a full bar with a nice cocktail list. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch View menu

Ava’s ended up being a great place to host a luncheon for my son and his soon to be bride in their semi private dining area. William was easy to communicate with via email and answered all of my many questions. We were able to set up and decorate the space when they opened and had the room to ourselves for as long as we wanted. The food and service were great and the “family style” portions for the prefix group menu was more than generous. Ava’s was just the right place for a casual yet special gathering of family and friends.
