"The sister resto to Miami’s Mila, Ava perpetually buzzes thanks to its attractive space, dishes and clientele. The place certainly gets lit, what with its tableside firings of honey-slicked haloumi and salt-crusted branzino, not to mention the keftedes served inside a flaming stone bowl. Mediterranean flavors seep into the cocktail arena as well — Ava’s Gibson is flavored like a Greek salad, though the impressive selection of Greek wines is hard to overlook. The orange blossom olive oil cake with raspberry jam, pistachio and basil oil has proved popular." - Faiyaz Kara
