Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
AVANA offers an impressive dining experience with "amazing ambiance" and "delicious food." The oxtail pizza and catfish deviled eggs are standout dishes. Service is praised for being "attentive and friendly." While the menu could benefit from more options, the restaurant's chic vibe and excellent DJ make it a must-visit spot.

    Avana, a place that we were excited to try and finally had our opportunity. The Valet service was nice for 20$. Upon entering we were running behind but they sat us and were accommodating as the evening didn’t seem too busy. It was a Sunday evening. The host was dressed down a bit surprising but she was cordial. The decor was very nice and the location is exceptional. We had an amazing waitress named Journee. Her personality was amazing and delightful. Unfortunately, that was the highlights of our experience. The menu was very confusing with so many items marked as “Market Price”. Even the salad was marked market price. The table next to us was also confused. Journee did the best she could to explain and we appreciated her efforts. We order the braised oxtail pizza and that wasn’t bad. We felt the collard greens were not necessary. The jerk skewers were good but just good not amazing probably wouldn’t go back for them. The mango juice on the plate was watery and underwhelming. The burger we ordered was asked to be medium but it came out well-done. No need to complain at that point though we just needed to finish the experience. The fries that came with it were limp but the idea was right, boardwalk style like down at the shore. The bun on the burger was cold. That concludes our experience. The location is perfect, the decor felt as if we were going to have a great fine dining experience, and unfortunately it was all underwhelming and overpriced.

    Food was not great, especially for the price. Oysters were tiny and only received 3. The biggest challenge for me was the oxtail pizza. For it to be their most popular dish, I was expecting to be blown away by flavors. It just was bland and underwhelming. The collard overpowers everything and did not taste oxtail at all. We were promptly seated for our reservation. Servers was very attentive and knowledgeable. However, we will not return.
