Review for Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar From the moment we stepped into Ayza, we were captivated! The ambiance is truly enchanting, with a stunning constellations ceiling that sets the perfect mood for a memorable evening. The wine and chocolate pairing was exceptional, showcasing a delightful selection that perfectly complemented each other. We also indulged in an amazing cheese plate that was a highlight of our experience. The combination of flavors and textures was simply divine. The trolley outside added a unique touch, making our visit feel even more special. Every aspect of our experience—decor, staff, food, drinks, and service—earned a solid 5 stars. I can’t recommend Ayza enough! We can’t wait to return!

The atmosphere was fantastic—both cozy and cool. They offer different ambiances, and you can even enjoy your meal in a charming trolley outside. The tropical sangria and molten cake were good, but the white truffle pizza was exceptional!

I had such an amazing time at Ayza Wine Bar! The vibe was perfect for a girls’ night out – super lively yet cozy, with plenty of space for a larger group. The Chianti wine was a hit, smooth and flavorful, and we all loved the Dubai Chocolate mulled wine – it was so rich and comforting. Also we tried angry chicken lollipop & burrata which is tasty appetizers. The hot spiked apple cider was another favorite, warming us up with the perfect blend of spice. The staff was so cheerful and friendly. Service was fast and attentive. It’s definitely a great spot for hanging out with friends, and I can’t wait to go back!

Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar is a cozy, elegant spot perfect for wine and chocolate lovers. The atmosphere is intimate, making it ideal for a date night or a relaxed evening with friends. Their selection of wines is extensive, and the pairing with gourmet chocolates is simply delightful. Service is attentive, and the overall experience is a unique blend of indulgence and relaxation. Highly recommend for anyone looking to treat themselves to something special! The only downside is 69 dollars per person is required.

Went on a Saturday afternoon with a reservation. The restaurant wasn’t very full. We opted to sit in the “patio” area. Our server was friendly! We ordered classic chocolate martini and the dark chocolate with wine flight. The chocolates were decadent, the wine just okay. Our food was very good too! We ordered a burger, omelette and the avocado fries. Everything was great. We’ll be back for sure. Definitely for the martinis and a snack!

The excellent service made for a great visit! My chocolate martini was fantastic as was the truffle served with it. I was not as impressed with the wine or the chocolate sampling flight but our server’s recommendations and courtesy would bring me back!

What an absolute gem! Discovered Ayza on a recent trip to NY and will definitely be back. The food was amazing, drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere was cosy and charming. My partner and I were very impressed by the value for money for an experience of that quality. Thank you team Ayza!

I really enjoyed the chocolate martinis! I was truly very happy to try this wonderful spot. The quality of ingredients used to design an exquisite drink was truly worth the wait. My sister really loved the concept of stars in the bar and it had a very classy and dim light feel. We appreciated the elements of the bar in connection to astrology and being at the right place at the right time. We definitely want to come back. We didn't get to try the food, but it is evident that everyone else was there for food. It looked delicious. The raspberry chocolate martini was my fave. My only feedback is that i wish the martini was a tiny bit creamier. The martinis tended to feel a bit watery.

The drinks, concept, and food are amazing. I love chocolate. I love espresso martinis (they have so many different kinds). I love pasta, and they've got the best cacio e pepe here. No seriously. It was so good that I got a little upset about not living nearby all the time. Yes, everything else was delicious. But I still dream about this Cacio e Pepe. Service was okay. Not my favorite. Servers seemed a tad upset or tired, but probably because of the ambiance. It's a small place inside and it's crowded.

Loved this place, already can't wait to come back! We went for their special Valentine's Day menu as we were looking for somewhere that does chocolate. We loved Ayza so much! The chocolate is delicious and we loved the cocktails that were paired with the meal courses. I can't wait to come back for the regular menu - the chocolate pairings looked amazing!! Also I really love the chocolate here. The atmosphere here is super romantic and perfect for a date. It feels like this restaurant was made for Valentine's Day.

The type of place you go for the ambiance only. The food was super pricy and small portions. Although it tasted good. The drinks are $17-$20 and are pretty watered down. Not many vegetarian options. They did have a unique dish that I got with fresh berries, burrata and sourdough bread and that was unique just sadly a really small portion.

Been here twice now, and I'm not yet sure whether I like coming here because I just like the *idea* of a dessert-centered wine bar or if I genuinely recommend the food and drinks. I often exponentiate my already low tolerance for alcohol by operating on a near-empty stomach on weekdays (I walked so Bella Hadid could...also walk, I guess), so two shots of whiskey or a particularly potent margarita alone can get me drunker than a skunk. This means that when I call a drink "strong", it might mean nothing at all, but if I call a drink "weak", know that it is likely abysmally so... The chocolate martinis from Ayza can be characterized as the latter. As delicious as the drinks are, I have to assume that the bartenders have been instructed to merely ruminate on an Irish cream liqueur in the abstract while assembling the drinks instead of actually pouring any into their martinis, because both times I visited, I found myself enjoying the drink thoroughly but wondering if I had missed a note stating that it was a nonalcoholic beverage. The apple cider mule, on the other hand, was FAR stronger than I anticipated. I had just a few sips of it, and my head started swimming almost immediately. It was ravishing. I had the chocolate earthquake cake (they should have named it "The Chocolate Earthcake"; a missed oppuntunity, but I digress) twice, and it was delicious both times. But delicious in the way that a lava cake from an applebees is also delicious. The dessert was good, and I would consider ordering it again, but it was nothing to write home about. Also, a special apology to the poor waitress who panicked a bit after seeing my note about "avoiding dairy" in my second reservation. Some of us are unlucky simpletons who weren't blessed with complete immunity from lactose, and I hope she understood that while I generally make an effort to avoid dairy, the two of us had already made peace with the misfortunes that would undoubtedly befall us after the meal before we even stepped foot in the bar :')

This is a restaurant that has so much potential and exceed food experience/service especially serving chocolate and wine along with a variety of dishes. Unfortunately there were some hiccups and lackluster service that makes me hesitant to come back with friends. Let's start with the food, The White Truffle Pizza was delicious but room temperature and not like it was out and ready to be served. Then I had the Crunchy Baby Shrimp Dumplings, barely any shrimps and tasted more like a vegetable dumping with some shrimps. And dessert was an Affogato, classic vanilla ice cream and coffee pairing but while I was snapping a picture with the tray slightly off frame, the server took the tray with still coffee inside the little cup and I couldn't call out because I was mid-sipping my affogato in the glass cup. The server looked impatient and unenthusiastic, I understand it was a busy Friday night with music and people talking over one another. Just felt it slight soured up the mood. Maybe I was unlucky with my server and food choice that night. This restaurant is a spot to consider with a larger party like 3-4 friends especially the trolley outdoor seating which can add to the experience paired with some fondue and wine

Incredible drinks and vibes as always. I love Ayza, it's one of favorite bars in NYC. The seasonal pumpkin martini was delicious!

Brunch Review My friend and I came here Sunday at 1:30, it was not packed, and it was wonderful. Brunch ends at 3 pm, says at 4 but they stop taking orders at 3. Small cozy restaurant, we sat outside, the server came with the menus, and we started with some drinks. The Strawberry and Raspberry chocolate martini were extraordinary! sweet, fruity, classy and very chocolaty! My friend ordered a Pomegranate Margarita and it was perfectly made. Food : Avocado Toast : 4 of 5 , good but the bread it wasn't very soft. Reuben Sandwich: 5 of 5 very well-made, fresh ingredients, good portion. Wine & Chocolate Pairings Whiteout - Sweet wines and chocolate, good for a treat but you need to order food and drinks, don't rely on this, you need to order more food. The service was great, everything was clean and organized. Recommended.

We visited on a Thursday night for happy hour and were seated quickly, as there were plenty of tables available. We ordered the mulled wine and the lava cake, and I have to say, the lava cake was absolutely delicious--perfectly paired with the mulled wine. If you're in the mood for something sweet and warm, I'd definitely recommend it. The mulled wine had a strong cinnamon flavor, which was interesting, but I appreciated the generous portion served in a carafe.

Ayza is a fun concept that centers around one of my favorite things: chocolate! We tried this place out for dinner and dessert, but I have to say the desserts definitely stand out more than the actual food. We tried a few items: the cacio e Pepe, fired avocado, truffle mushroom pita tarte, spinach artichoke dip, caramelized goat cheese. Unfortunately, I just found that the food lacked flavor. It was not bad per se, but portions are small and I was hoping for more in the flavor department-salt and spices help! Dessert was incredible though - the lava cake and the earthquake cake are musts. I also loved the chocolate martini, which was perfectly strong and not too sweet. I'm glad we gave it a try, but I would only come back for dessert!

The happy hour menu was good, hot apple cider and mulled wine on a snowy evening was perfect. The chocolate cake was rich and flavorful, the restaurant itself was very romantic and cozy for my partner and I. Service was kid but a little on the slower side.

Well, I appreciate this place for a good happy hour and the food is great. The service is hit or miss. I would say that it is due to the large crowds that tend to come in for happy hour but overall a decent place! Cute aesthetic and love that they serve popcorn with your drink drinks :)

We came here after dinner, so we only ordered a bottle of red wine and sat at the outside terrace. The wine was great, the vibes were amazing (perfect for date night or drink with friends), and the service was good. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving wine!

Walked by this place on my way home and glad that I got to officially check it out tonight! Their chocolate martinis are popular for a reason. Don't let the layer of chocolate shavings fool you because it gets stronger as you drink more so make sure to give it a good swirl before you start. Yes it was on the sweeter side, but I still enjoyed how it was creamy. Wish there were more chocolate flavors inside the drink rather than just from the shavings itself. You can get the classic or the other espresso, hazelnut, vs other fruit flavors. They also offer a wide range of wines and other cocktail drinks, as well as chocolate and wine pairings that I definitely want to come back for! Their menu also includes cheese plates, savory appetizers, and desserts. I got to try their Jacques Torres chocolate pieces with my friend, which comes in a set of 6 or 9. The space is very cute and has several sections. They have an indoor traditional bar area, outdoor patio with lots of pretty greenery and fairy lights, and a parked trolley. It was very cute to enjoy my drinks and chocolate inside the trolley especially in this fall weather! Staff were nice and available for questions. Looking forward to coming back to check out other wine and food options!

had such a fun time at this wine bar. An impromptu stop at this adorable little restaurant. We each got a wine flight of three wines for 32 which honestly isn't a terrible deal. We also got the five assorted cheese platter and the chocolates. All were super yummy! The wines were good too and the service was attentive!

Love this place !! Very interesting drinks Great service The atmosphere is always nice

I LOVE AYZA! The charcuterie boards are unreal and the chocolate martinis are amazing!

Very romantic atmosphere. Service was a bit slow, but mulled wine was perfection and was so awesome that it was on their happy hour menu. Chocolate Earthquake cake was very decadent and rich.

Ayza is all around one of the best HH spots in town! If you are a chocolate lover, don't miss the chocolate martini! The chocolate shavings and a piece of truffle on the side will make you forget all the stress from work. The food is also delicious here, and our favorite is the forest mushroom pita tart. The service is prompt and friendly! Our server, Liv, took care of us and made our anniversary celebration feel extra special! The ambiance is great, with many options for seating: indoor, covered outdoor patio, or the trolley. It is too bad that HH ends by 6 pm.

I've never had a chocolate Martini until Ayza, so truthfully it's hard to score this against a benchmark. This review will solely be based on ambience and my liking of the flavors. The place itself is very serene and classy, a nice date night kind of vibe. No complaints about ambiance here, solid choice to catch up with friends or take someone out. I had the hazelnut but friends attested to a similar consensus that we would have liked a sweeter more chocolate flavor - the martini base was a bit more than what we would have liked, especially when visually the drinks looked chocolatey and sweet. Nonetheless, I'm glad I got to try the chocolate martini experience. Let's give this a solid 8/10 just because my palette is still so unrefined and I had a learning experience with Ayza!

I was introduced to this place by my coworker, and let me tell you, it's been a staple bar of mine since. The bar is almost always free to sit, and the ambiance is so cute! It's perfect for a night out with the girlies, or even a date night. Their chocolate martinis are a must try. They're strong, tasty, and come with a truffle! My favorite is their raspberry chocolate martini, but they have a selection to choose from. Their food is also great as well! The chicken burrito is so good, and their fried avocado is a guilty pleasure of mine. All in all, a one stop shop for great food and drinks! Ayza has got it all!

Second time here - four stars for food & drinks; minus one star for service and vibe; so total is three stars The featured chocolate Martini drinks are awesome as usual; this time each of us ordered a variation in this series: with the Classic Chocolate Martini as baseline, the Rasberry and Strawberry ones add more creamy flavor (I guess it's Baileys in them) and Espresso Martini has less chocolaty flavor there The mushroom pita tart is quite a surprise in a good way; the combination of mushrooms, cheese and the veges is a good balance. Dips - we ordered the Eggplant and Classic Hummus (which were taken away before we finished even half of them); the eggplant one is very impressive Cauliflower rice (no pics here) - amazing carrots in it!! Berries Burrata and garlic shrimp - I would say normal/mediocre; the Burrata is too hard. I appreciate the live band and their excellent performance, but the speakers and microphones are in so bad quality! It makes the music over loud and people cannot hear each other well - by people and each other, I not only mean the people dining together, but also waiter/waitress and customers. Last but not least, I would say I will give four stars for the food and drinks alone, but minus one star for the services and vibe. As mentioned earlier, we ordered two dips, and a waiter took them all away with over half of the portion still there. We said very loudly that we still want to keep them but he just ignored (or maybe it's too loud to hear anyone). We had planned to try one to two desserts but finally gave up since the over loud environment wiped out our appetite.

Tried this place with a friend for the first time and I was not impressed. Firstly, we were seated in the trolley which was drafty and FREEZING. For reference, it was 36°F outside. The trolley had 2 small heaters that were not sufficient enough to heat the space especially since they kept opening/closing the door; sometimes keeping it open for long periods of time. My feet were so frozen that when it was time to leave, I could barely feel them. Secondly, the service was just ok. My friend ordered the cacio e pepe which took 45 minutes to an hour to be brought out and only after we asked the server multiple times for an update on the order. Meanwhile people who arrived after us were getting their food first. I ordered the burrata "salad" which I thought would come on a bed of greens as it was listed under salads but it was just a piece of cheese on a bed of fruit and nuts. For $19, I don't think this was worth the price. And certainly not filling by any means. The server was nice and acknowledged the late pasta dish so they comped us a serving of the avocado fries which was nice. Overall though, I don't think this experience was worth the cold we had to endure or the food/drink prices.

Came here on a whim with a few of my friends, and I was pleasantly surprised! I definitely recommend coming here during their happy hour (M-F from 4pm-6pm) where there are a variety of drinks like cocktails, wines, and beers offered at a discount. Outside of the happy hour, I'm not sure I would say that this spot is too worth it. The interior is nicely designed and creates for an intimate experience. I will say that I felt a little cramped as the tables were pretty close together. For drinks, I opted for the classic chocolate martini, which came with a chocolate truffle on the side. The drink was pretty strong, so I wouldn't get it for the taste! My friend had ordered the Passion Fruit Mule, which was delicious and I would definitely recommend trying that drink. They also gave us a side of popcorn to snack on and a small sample of one of the sangrias/wines which I liked.

We were there for a Galentine's dinner and had an amazing time there. Started with a complimentary spiced wine which was so smooth! The fig burrata is so fresh and a perfect combination of accompaniments which come along with it. The mezzo platter and mushroom pizza were great vegetarian options too. The service was great and ambience is so cozy for a winter dinner!

While we missed the happy hour deal, my friends and I really enjoyed having a wine night at Ayza. I got the house sangria, which was really delicious, and shared a bottle of wine with my friends. We also got a cheese platter and charcuterie platter, which was nice and satisfying. I was also surprised by how much in enjoyed the bread, which is free upon request. The staff was also really friendly. And while the indoor space was limited, the outdoor space was actually quite cool, even with these hot summer nights. Will definitely be venturing back to at least try the chocolate martinis!

Came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We actually had reservations elsewhere which unfortunately didn't work out because the other restaurant was incapable of handling their reservations. My boyfriend and I were really hungry and upset over that issue and were walking around looking for somewhere else to dine. This restaurant was actually right next to the parking garage we used so it was super convenient. Walked in and had a choice to sit outside in their tented area. They also had seating on the street but I hate those, they're just as enclosed as the actual restaurant building so it's pointless if you're trying to get "fresh air" We sat under their tented area and it was decorated for the holidays so it was super cute and aesthetic for anyone looking to take cute pictures. The tented area was heated so no worries on freezing out there, it's quite cozy. We ordered the chicken lollipops for our appetizers and the spinach and cheese artichoke dip with pita bread. Apps came out quickly and were delicious. The chicken lollipops were crispy and coated with a sweet and savory sauce. The dip wasn't overbearingly cheesy and pita bread was warmed. For our entrees, my boyfriend got the Wagyu burger and I ordered the filet mignon cooked medium. I probably should have ordered it on the rarer side to get the full experience of the 'melt-in-your-mouth' taste but oh well. Overall, my boyfriend and I really enjoyed our experience here. We ventured in unexpectedly and didn't have high expectations but were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and great Saturday night ambiance. Their cocktails were also delicious and staff were kind and attentive. A great experience that I am more than happy to recommend that others come by and check them out. They were great and saved our evening from being a complete failure. Highly recommend!

mediocre burger and fries no flavor. cheese platter was really good value generous cheese offering. opened late and friendly staff that is not rushing you out. nice decorations.

We decided to stop in because we stayed nearby and over all i enjoyed our experience. Ayza uses contact less ordering where you order online and leave your card on file to "keep the tab open" which I appreciate because it allows you to not over spend (everytime you order your drink you're reminded the price lol) But moving on to food. Its probably the most incredible charcuterie I have eaten in years ! The best part is the service , everyone is quick, efficient we were asked if we could move to help accommodate a large party and we did . We were gifted a few chocolate strawberries as a sweet thank you . The strawberry chocolate martini was delicious . I had a few . He enjoyed his chocolate old fashioned . He didnt like it as much as I liked my drink because he immediately asked for a regular old fashioned lol . We also ordered some shrimp dumplings that he devoured , I literally did not get to eat 1 lol . Overall it was nice . The place was dim, almost romantic lighting - gave a nice ambiance for date night but can totally be a girls night or even a quick meet and greet spot . I would come back here for sure

Cute wine bar spot in a central location. The ambiance is perfect for hangouts with friends over drinks. The staff gave us each a sample of their sangria in a tiny Moscow mule cup to try which is super sweet and nice of them. The 4 of us shared a bottle of Prosecco in the outdoor seating area. There's also an indoor seating area as well as a trolly with super cute seatings. Overall a great wine bar. The only downside is that there's only one bathroom and the wait can be pretty long especially during peak time when the bar is packed with customers.

A beautiful date night in the City! Sat in this trolley type car outside of the restaurant. Service was a biy slow to start... maybe from sitting out there but it was fine as we enjoyed our evening. Espresso martinis were strong and delicious. Good wine too! Food was tasty and the chocolates post-dinner were heavenly. Very much enjoyed our evening there. Highly recommend!

My friends and I came here for a drink and some dessert. We loved the decor, ambiance was great. Seeing something different on the menu from many other bars with the chocolate options is great. I had the raspberry chocolate martini and while I'm usually not a martini person this drink was delicious! The chocolate melted into the drink and the raspberry helped balance out the sweetness. The only downside was that we had some communication problems with the waiter in what we had ordered but I think that might've been because he was new there.

I totally LOVED this place!! It's such a cute spot and we got a table in the trolley which was the best experience ever. It's so nice and quaint and the decor is great - also so warm which is ideal. Here's what we got: Hazelnut martini - love it and would recommend! They also give you chocolate truffles with it which is awesome. Truffle pizza - so so good and tasty!! The truffle was so good and you could actually taste it. Spinach and artichoke dip with pita - really good as well, it came as a baked dish with cheese on top. Chocolate fondue - it was good but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a group of people and/or are hungry enough because it quite large and filling. The only part I didn't like was it was a bit of a task to get the trolley - we kept asking the host but he said no, and then offered the trolley to the 2 women who came after us. Pretty sure he saw me overhear the conversation, and after we almost sat at our table he told us about the one in the trolley. Kinda not nice tbh but we'll at least we got the trolley.

I had a really nice time here with my girlfriends while visiting the city. It was raining during our visit and Ayza looked so warm and inviting with their heaters and string lights. Their espresso martini was the first I've tried with chocolate shavings on top and I really liked the addition. The little truffle accompaniment was a fun surprise. The only negative was that as we were finishing up our drinks, the waitress kept staring at our table and checking in every 2 minutes even though some of us clearly weren't done.

It's a good spot to come and hang out. The chocolate martinis were amazing. My favorite was the raspberry one.

Super cute spot for drinks and appetizers. The food menu is very limited. Staff is very friendly and attentive. They have happy hour from 4-6pm. The chocolate martini & espresso martini are great! Served with a truffle on the side. The appetizers are shareable portions. The chicken tacos were delicious, and huge! The truffle pizza was a good choice too. Perfect spot for date night or after work drinks. The outdoor seating area is in a trolly, very cool and original.

Entering the restaurant, you feel like you have stepped into a magical fairy garden full of beautiful twining greenery and fairy lights--an Instagram-worthy spot for any occasion, from brunch to dinner. For food, we split the brie appetizer, broken into the perfect bit sizes and very tasty. For my main course, I had the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich that was largely portioned and delicious. The Hazelnut Martini was smooth, tasty and even came with a little complementary chocolate on the side. The glass was chill to perfection and kept it cold the whole meal. Service was quick, efficient, and easy. You order on your phone, so there's no need to worry about splitting checks.

Ordered: Twenty-Layer Crepes Cake (~$14): crumbled short bread, fresh berries, caramelized creme brûlée style Espresso Chocolate Martini (~$19): served with piece of chocolate Aya's take: Cute dessert spot for a date, post-dinner stop with friends, or just for the vibes! The Espresso Chocolate Martini was strong yet subtle, not too sweet, and paired well with the piece of chocolate. I really enjoyed the Twenty-Layer Crepes Cake. Again, the sweetness was very tame, each layer was light & airy, and the presentation was exquisite. I would highly recommend!

Just came here for dessert and it was such a cute restaurant! They have bar food and actually dishes and a dessert section. We ordered some drinks and the fondue to share. Would come again to try other things next time but for the time being the fondue was really cute to share! It was too sweet for the marshmallows and rice crispies but that's to be expected it's literally sugar on sugar. The strawberries and bananas were spot on.

Really nice date spot. The lighting is low and the vibe is elegant and cozy.. as soon as we walked in the waiter offered us a sample of sangria which was a nice surprise. It was delicious so we ended up getting full sizes. For food we got cacio e Pepe, chicken tacos, and truffle pizza. The tacos were amazing.. really well flavored. For dessert we got the fondue which comes with either 4 or 6 dipping items. They range from fruits to brownies and pretzels. The only downsides about this was that the chocolate was cold when it to us and took a while to warm up, and by then we were half way through. It would've been nice to come warm and be able to enjoy it while it's in liquid form. Other than that, it was definitely a good experience and I can see myself coming back!

Ayza went above and beyond for our anniversary dinner! We came on Sunday evening and were able to sit in the trolley as we hoped. There was only 1 couple in there with us, so it made for a very intimate setting. We were given complimentary glasses of champagne to mark the occasion, and our servers all night made the evening beyond enjoyable with their attention, care, and enthusiasm. We even received a shot glass of spiced mulled wine (which my girlfriend and I had been searching NYC for weeks). It certainly exceeded my expectations. Because of the limited dinner entree selection, we decided to build off of the appetizers. We loved that their menus online show you pictures of each food and drink item. We started with the Angry Chicken Lollipops (spicy and I couldn't get enough of the Haisin sauce it came with) and the white truffle pizza (one of the best pizzas I've ever had). I'm not a huge fan of avocados, but the avocado fries with Sriracha fries were pretty enjoyable. For drinks, I ordered the Mulled wine and she had the winter mule. We enjoyed both, but the highlight drinks were the Chocolate Espresso Martinis. One of the best drinks I've ever tasted. We ended the night with the twenty-layer crepes cake brulee (which reminded me of a sweet and cream-stuffed croissant, very delicious) and chocolate-covered strawberries they brought out for us. We danced in the empty trolley before ending our night. We will be coming back here soon!

I just wanted to share an updated review, in honor of Thank You Thursday on Yelp! This restaurant was an amazing spot. I brought my dad here for chocolate martinis while he was visiting. We had the best experience! The service was quick and efficient. The whole experience was so amazing and the martinis were the best we ever had! Without asking, we were seated inside their heated trolley, which was such a fun surprise! We had the best daddy/daughter time here and it is a memory I will have with me my whole life. Thanks again, Ayza!

Some of the worse service. Staff was nice but constant forgot to put in our orders, drinks, etc. order two beers and after 35 minutes we still did not receive them. Ordered humus and after 45 minutes still didn't receive them. This was as a time it was not busy. When we asked about them waitresses did not seem to understand or forgot that we ordered. Wine was excellent but that was about all. Burger had no flavor, Caesar salad was not at all a Caesar salad and we had to send back. All in all waiting 1+ hr for the food to arrive to the table for it to then be bad on top of the poor service made the whole experience awful. The ambience is cute but bad music and lots of nats constantly in your food and drinks. Has so much potential but needs new waiters, to up a few of the food items and change the playlist.

I hosted my birthday event here for my 5th year. Ayza was extremely accommodating and worked with me on all of my requests. A few of my friends had dietary restrictions or allergies and they were able to bring out special dishes for them as well. Food, drinks, and service were top notch and can't wait to host my birthday here again next year. :)

Ayza is such a cute spot for a date night or girls night out. They have a daily happy hour with drinks and small plates. I went for dinner and really enjoyed it, the staff is very attentive and everything is served quickly. I had the shrimp dumplings and branzino filet, both highly recommended. I think their trolley is a nice touch because it's a unique twist on the outside sitting space. I would recommend making a reservation especially on weekends.

Best chocolate martini I've had in the city. Like legit the best and I've had a lot. It also comes with a chocolate truffle on the side which was really really good. So happy I stumbled on this spot all by accident. I will def be back and super excited for the happy hour prices! Vibe is cool and decor is nice. Staff is nice as well. Wish it stayed open later. Order the chocolate martini and thank me later! I'll be back next time for the truffle pizza.

This spot is perfect for a girls' night out! The cocktails and apps were not only stunningly aesthetic but absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch, making the whole experience even more memorable.

Ayza accommodated my vegan requests during brunch with some yummy potatoes, some broccolini and mushrooms, and friendly service. What more could a girl ask for? Reasonably priced and fun celestial ambiance.
