Reviews for Avli Taverna
We only show the 3 most relevant reviews to save you time.
The beet salad was sooo good. I added the salmon as my protein expecting a small portion laid on top. Instead I received a large, perfectly cooked (it was on the softer side), moist, flavorful hunk. My husband had the beef skewers which came with either rice or a vegetable as opposed to both (only drawback). It was also very tasty. The hummus was more dense in texture as opposed to smooth and with a mild flavor which I happened to like, but some may not. Small on the inside but with a LOT of outdoor seating, tucked into a residential part of Lincoln Park. The food was GOOD, pretty, and fresh, and not ridiculously expensive. Kid-friendliness: Too small for little ones indoors, but just fine at their plentiful outdoor seating. Parking: Neighborhood street parking, no parking lot.
