Reviews for Avli River North in Chicago, IL

The food was absolute perfection. The flavors were a dance party in your mouth. Varying textures and ColorSnap We went for a... group brunch and they gave us a private room. The VIEWS deserve a review of their own. The restaurant overlooks a park that is ahidden oasis in the hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago. I couldn’t believe it existed, how quiet it was, or how closely itresembled a botanical garden. Definitely a wonderful getaway. Read more

This was the best dining experience I’ve ever had. The food, drinks & staff were absolutely wonderful. The chef even came out... to introduce himself and told us about some of his favorite dishes. Everything was made perfectly and I cannot wait to be back. Read more

A fun and good place to hang out and they have good Greek food. Beverages are all delicious and definitely worthy for how much... it cost. That $50 Fish is definitely overpriced and not flavorful at all so don’t order it. But the rest are good and ourwaiter is a nice guy! Read more

Lovely atmosphere and prompt service. We were running behind for our reservation, so we called and they were very accommodating.... We were still seated immediately upon arriving. I tried the lobster pasta, which was fresh and delicious. We had the Avocado andHalloumi small plate—very unique and tasty. I had the orange creme brûlée for dessert and it was also delicious. We moved tothe bar for a couple more drinks after dinner, and the service there was just as helpful and prompt. I hope to go back when it'swarm out and sit outside! Read more

So happy I came across this restaurant on Tik Tok! What a gem!! $4 validated parking in the building and the elevator took you... right to the restaurant. Nice start to our dinner experience. Walked in and WOW! Stunning ambiance. Beautiful view with allthe Christmas lights outside. We started with a couple of drinks and the excellent bread and olive oil. They brought out anamuse bouche - excellent tomato with crunch. We LOVED the phyllo shrimp, my husband said the best he ever had. The Greek frieswere surprisingly fantastic, for something so simple it was so good. The octopus was tender and tasty. The calamari was good,but I personally prefer a lighter breading. The dipping sauce was great. The meatballs were good, not outstanding, but weenjoyed the sauce a lot! The highlight of the entire meal was the dessert!! Chios Mastiha and Sour Cherry Ice Cream. Lightice cream, delicious crunchy pistachios and the most amazing cherries. We will go back just to get this! Great service,gorgeous architecture and delicious food. Avli on the Park was a great night! Read more

Went here for dinner with my wife and a friend to celebrate my birthday. The food here is good. The was complimentary bread,... olive oil, and olives as well as an amuse bouche. We had the tasting plate of 4 spreads with 1 pita cut into 4. The spreadswere generous but 4 pitas were not enough for the amount of the spread provided nor the number of people being served. We askedfor more pita and was given 4 pieces again. We left the remaining spread. But much to our disappointment was a 2.00 charge forthe additional pita. We ordered the lobster pasta, feta shrimp, and Scottish salmon, a round of cocktails, bottle of wine, anddesserts. The food was very good. The service started out good but then the waiter became overwhelmed with a larger table andwe had to flag him down repeatedly. We waited for over 30 minutes to obtain our bill. This restaurant has delicious food butloses its shine with miserly fees and uneven service. Read more
