AMAZING celiac safe service

I had high hopes for AVA MediterrAegean, a Michelin-starred restaurant, but the experience fell far short of expectations. Upon arrival, the front area was chaotic—about 15 people crammed together, loud and intoxicated, with no notice that our reservation would be delayed by 20 minutes due to the restaurant running behind on schedule. Once seated, the table placement was awkward and cramped, with chairs directly in a high-traffic area. My fiancé’s MCM designer bag was knocked over twice—once by a server bumping into the table, who then gave a little chair to put it on since there were no bag holders, a second by another server bumping into that chair where they tripped and sent the bag flying to the floor. On top of that, my jacket was knocked off the back of my chair and stepped on, terrible location. Service was rushed and impersonal, with no recommendations or mention of specials. Drinks took 15 minutes to order but arrived at least arrived quickly. For appetizers, the meatballs were overly salty, though my fiancé enjoyed them, and the potatoes were bland, and I had requested olive oil twice to be brought. The entrées were disappointing: my black truffle risotto was just average, and my fiancé’s filet mignon was chewy. Despite informing the waiter about celiac disease, the saffron rice came with phyllo dough when we asked without it, and had to be remade. Dessert, a crème brûlée, was, let’s just say forgettable and nothing special. Adding insult to injury, the bill included an automatic 18% service charge for our table of two, which felt unwarranted given the mediocre service. At nearly $300 for two, I expected a refined and luxurious dining experience, not chaos and mediocre food, especially Michelin rated. Perhaps it was an off night for them on a busy Saturday evening, but Michelin stars demand consistency, and this didn’t deliver. I wouldn’t recommend or return here, and would definitely question how they even got a star for their food. There are far better places around that have made a significant impression.

I love CAVA. So far everything I’ve tried is so good. I love the concept of making your own bowl. Their sauces and options are amazing. There are a lot of gluten free things to choose from, too. My only gripe is that they don’t have a lot of vegan protein options and their falafel has wheat which really doesn’t belong in falafel. It’s chickpea flour so they’re usually naturally gluten free. Hopefully, they’ll get on the band wagon and have some more options like bolay and fresh kitchen! I love them and I will def go back! I highly recommend and I know they’ll figure out the other issues bc they will welcome a huge audience if they do that!

This was a nice cafeteria style fresh food restaurant. Great for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options.

Food is always so fresh and delicious! Lots for vegetarians and gluten free folks. They have my favorite falafels and Greek salad is topped with potato salad the way it should be. So good!
