" An enjoyable dining experience with a good menu selection. The ambiance is upscale yet comfortable, perfect for casual dining or special occasions. Portions could be a bit larger for the price, but the flavors make it worthwhile. I appreciated our server's expertise and wine suggestions, which truly enhanced our meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family dinner at Ava Gene's and it was a memorable experience! We enjoyed a variety of dishes and each was at the top of its game. The focus on local and seasonal ingredients shines through. The only downside was the long wait for our table, so I recommend making a reservation well in advance. " (*Curated Review*)

" While we enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was excellent, we were disappointed with the authenticity of the cuisine. Some dishes, such as the clam pasta, were way too salty and lacked that true Italian flair. However, the other dishes were good, and we appreciated the creative cocktails. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong items, so it's worth another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was delightful, but the experience was marred by the noise level. My friends and I showed up for dinner, excited about the reviews but found it hard to communicate over the din of the crowd. The pasta was delicious and definitely made from fresh ingredients. Overall, I would suggest going during off-peak hours for a more enjoyable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ava Gene’s with high hopes after hearing great things. The food was indeed delicious, but our experience was overshadowed by the bad acoustics—far too loud! I couldn't hear my friend across the table. Wouldn't mind this for a casual night out, just maybe not for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely time at Ava Gene's! The food was exquisite, from the appetizers to the entrees, showcasing fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Our server was friendly and made great recommendations. However, I must mention that the overall volume in the restaurant was somewhat distracting. Despite that, I would definitely return for another meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I tried Ava Gene’s, I was blown away by how fresh the ingredients tasted. It’s clear they care about seasonality and sourcing quality produce. The atmosphere is also lovely, perfect for a date night. I couldn't get enough of the dessert menu either, we shared the tiramisu which was divine! " (*Curated Review*)
