    In a beautiful setting, we enjoyed the perfect meal. The whole Red Snapper meal, including lemon potatoes and a Greek salad starter, was flawless. The presentation of the whole fish was impressive, and our server deboned it at our table. Avli on The Park is quickly becoming my go-to restaurant in Chicago. Our server's recommendations, including the homemade Pistachio ice-cream with Cherries and The Baclava ice-cream, were excellent. The service was professional, friendly, and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Beautiful atmosphere and decor with incredible views. House music played in the background, the bar is gorgeous and the people are here to see and be seen. Thankfully, the food and service stands up to the see and be seen portion of this experience. Service was amazing, our server was warm, friendly, happy to make suggestions, and funny. We really enjoyed her. The food was delicious - panzanella salad "like summer in a bowl" followed by the wild boar ragu (divinely rich and silky) and then a filete di manzo with parmesan roasted fennel and smashed potatoes. The steak is smoky, with a nice crust on the outside but rare, sweet and tender on the inside. At first, we had FOMO over the pasta, thinking we should have ordered two pastas. Once we had tiramisu for dessert (which was impossibly creamy and rich), we were glad we didn't order a 2nd pasta because we were so full. We ate very well and laughed about it as we rolled out of the St Regis to the car. We had the Blanco Bianco Amargo, a tequila/mezcal drink, and it was divinely crafted with a lovely finish. Everything here is well thought out and carefully executed. I asked our server to surprise me with a glass of red wine suitable for the pasta and steak. She gave me a Barbera, which worked well with the intense richness of the boar and beef. This is a romantic atmosphere, with lots of space and service is such that it allows privacy and the staff understand that. Highly recommend the experience for a date night!

    We like to sit at the bar. Service is really fast and we enjoy splitting a salad and pasta dish. The wines (reds) and cocktails (old fashioneds) are particularly good.
