We decided to dine outside on one of their patios. It was a little cooler than expected, but they had heat lamps going, which kept us nice and comfortable. Our waiter took our drink orders while we looked over the menu and tried to decide which starters we wanted to share. We ended up going with the Fried Kalamari and the Kataifi Shrimp. I had never tried their Kalamari before, but I already knew the shrimp was fire! Both starters were really good, and the Kataifi Shrimp was such a hit that we literally had to play rock-paper-scissors for the last one. For dinner, I went with the Shrimp Souvlaki, my friend ordered the Chicken Souvlaki, and the other got the Solomos. Everyone really enjoyed their meal, and every dish was packed with flavor. Each bite was delicious and made for a great dinner. By the time we finished, we were way too full for dessert, but honestly, we didn't mind. We had an incredible dinner, great food, and even better conversations with friends. I've enjoyed Avli in Chicago, and now I can add the Milwaukee location to the list. Definitely a great night out!

I couldn't get over how huge this place is!! And there's a cool city view from the patio. Some tables also include fire, in case it's chilly out. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We started the night with cocktails and the spread trio, which we all loved! I really liked the Tirokafteri spread! For dinner I had the Solomos and it was full of flavor! I got the sauce on the side. The texture of the roasted salmon was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, it was perfect. I would definitely come back and I plan to! I'd love to explore other items on the menu.

The café has plenty of tables and a little bar area, and lots of Greek décor and videos to transport you to Greece. The servers were very attentive and pleasant. We ordered the Keftedes for an appetizer, they were so delicious! Well seasoned and the perfect crispy shell with soft pita bread. We also ordered the Zeus and the Lemon Baked Salmon. The Zeus was well seasoned and included lamb, pork, and beef in a pita. The Lemon Baked Salmon was a little to lemony for my taste but still good, I just wish I had something to cut the lemon flavor a little bit. Overall, the food and drinks were good, and would be back to try more. I did find the prices a little high for some items, including the drinks, some more worth it than others.

The menu is also updated with a new items. The food is still as good as I remember! The Beef Souvlaki has always been my go-to here, so I ordered it for lunch today. The beef cubes were well-seasoned as always and the pita was soft and delicious, as well. Even the fries were good. These were well-seasoned shoe string fries, and they were perfectly fried crisp. I couldn't stop thinking about the Grilled Octopus on the menu, so I ordered it, too, and asked chef to slice it for me. It was tender and served in olive oil with warm and soft pita. Sooooo good! A 6-top reservation came in while I was there. Yes, they accept reservations, which I believe you can book through their website. I've been coming here for years and seen different family members behind the counter or in the kitchen over the years, which adds to the charm of a small, family-owned business, and also shows I've aged.

The quality and taste of the food was as good or better than anything we tasted when we visited Athens last year.

Today I ordered for a work lunch and my coworkers got the traditional gyro plates. I was a little dismayed at first when I was the price...almost $19 each!

The service was fast and our food was hot, fresh, and delicious! One of their plates is enough food for two people, or you can take leftovers home in a take-home box.

You can tell it's a neighborhood favorite, as they have people constantly coming in to order or pick up. People have quiet conversations at their tables and are respectful of others around them regarding noise. Booth coverings are a little worn but everything is clean.

We had two chicken platters with rice and a moussakka with a side salad. The service was fast. I prefer a little more seasoning on my chicken, but I enjoyed the gravy on the rice to add in some more flavor. The tzatziki was mild - I like a little more seasoning. The moussakka was really rich and heavy. Generous portion sizes. The pita tasted pretty standard (tasted store-bought, not homemade). This is one of my go-tos for Greek food in the area.

The inside is so well done, from the design and decor to the furniture and overall atmosphere. Love their large dining room, and the curved bar closer to the entryway. Visually all very nice. Recently, I dined outside for the first time ever though and that was also lovely. Patio sits among the hustle and bustle of the Third Ward. My husband and I ordered drinks first. He got the fig old fashioned-of course I tried it- and it was delightful. I'm a big martini fan so I went with their signature, made with gin, and garnished with feta-stuffed olives. I mean yesss x10. As if those olives weren't enough, we ordered the olive dish from the shareables menu, along with the whipped feta. That came with roasted grapes, pistachio, pomegranate, and mint. Talk about flavorful! They get ya on having to order an extra serving of pita bread though. From the mains we had the seared scallops with ricotta dumplings, along with the woodfire grilled hanger steak, all to share. More bold flavors, more happiness with our choices! Ended the meal with a well-made espresso martini. I've not met a dish I don't like here, and the overall dining experience is worth the price.
