“My love and I visited Avli on the Park for the first time, and we absolutely loved it. ❤️ Even though we live in New York and go out to restaurants often, this place really impressed us. The restaurant has a beautiful and stylish atmosphere. The service was amazing, all the waiters were so kind, friendly, and attentive. They made us feel very welcome!! The food was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. If you like modern Greek cuisine, you will definitely enjoy this restaurant. If you are in Chicago, I highly recommend visiting Avli on the Park. We will definitely come back!❤️”
“Beautiful restaurant, beautiful staff, beautifully yummy food. Every appetizer, entrée, and drink was beautifully crafted and our server was so kind. Will 100% be back when I come to Chicago again! And as someone with Celiac disease, there are so many gluten free options!!!”
“Eddie was such a great waiter and the food was so good. He gave us a great experience and we had so much fun”
“Very beautiful location next to the bean. Food was amazing. Well priced and good drinks. Very clean and awesome service . Burger was good but the pancakes are a must”
“Really cute restaurant and the food was amazing. Typical city prices.”
“Delicious food, fresh flavours and amazing taste! Service was excellent too! Friendly staff, good location. Authentic greek flavours, casual fine dining at its best. Loved everything we ordered!”
“Upscale Greek food and modern style. Lovely view of the park and greenery from the bar. Efficient and friendly service. The humus and feta spreads were really good with delicious, warm pita bread. Roasted chicken and potatoes in a lemon olive oil sauce was delicious. Lamb rack was succulent too. Really enjoyed the dessert options, especially the flaming caldera with vanilla ice cream. Chill atmosphere where it was easy to hear conversations. The lighting is dim in the evening so it was hard to read the menu without our phone lights.”
“A visit to the jewel box overlooking New East Side Park, Chicago. Start with a trio of dips, crudités, and toasted pita with warm olive oil and za'atar. You can choose from taramasalata, the creamiest cucumber tzatziki, roasted hummus, eggplant dips, and more. We always add a tender grilled chicken skewer for each person. The house salad offers fresh herbal flavours with large diced tomatoes and cucumbers. The velvety, creamy chicken soup is a healing staple and a reliable takeaway choice. We love the fresh seafood offerings: whole seasonal fish, prawns or roasted salmon, airline chicken breast, and lamb shank with risotto or grilled chops with ladolemono (Greek lemon sauce). Good portions include vegetables. Staff members Kennedy and Jordan ensured our meal was satisfactory, anticipated our dining needs, and managed the timing to allow us to reach our event. Thanks to manager Rich for stopping by our table to say hello. It was a welcoming touch. The space is modern and comfortable, with many dining sections and lounges to relax in. Try the rice pudding or orange olive oil cake. #dining #milleniumpark #chicago #catering #datenight #michellinstar #restaurant #nightout”
“We went for mid afternoon lunch. They offered a delicious 3 course lunch special. Each course was delicious! Our server was very kind and friendly. I was thrilled that she said they had gluten free pita which were really surprisingly good! Atmosphere was very pretty with views of the park.”
“Local Chicagoan made the reservation and we love her for it. This was my favorite dinner during my time in the Windy City. We shared a bunch of dishes, downed many cocktails, and enjoyed the overall ambience. I think about the ice cream dessert regularly (if they have it on the menu please get it, I think it may change your life or cause a fight at the table for who gets the last bite). There was a private dining room next to where we sat and I feel like that also would be a fun time with a good group. Wonderful service—we felt like queens for the evening. Highly recommend!”
