    Everything about the restaurant was very good, including the ambience of the outdoor seating. The only problem is the side order of broccoli was listed on the menu as roasted broccoli, and that was that correct. It was par boiled, and then sautéed a little. I didn’t ask to be compensated is the waiter was so nice and accommodating, but my friend and I both agreed the broccoli was disappointing and not as described on the menu.

    Server Rene’ was excellent! We sat outside and it was a bit noisy with traffic and delivery trucks, but hey, that’s to be expected in a Chicago neighborhood, especially on a weekday. The food was savory, especially the pasta with mushrooms. I live in Colorado. Whenever I visit Chicago I go to Avli - Lincoln Park because the food and overall experience are enjoyable and an excellent value.

    Thank you very much for the review, Janis! We are very proud to have Rene as a part of our team, and we love hearing such wonderful comments about his service. We hope to welcome you back soon!

    We love Avli. There is a new chicken recipe on the menu. It is good but we enjoyed the old bone in chicken recipe better. Overall we had a wonderful dinner sitting outside with excellent service.
