The Crispy Chicken was delicious, had much more a kick than I was expecting. As did the Corn Chowder. But the flavors were remarkable. The corn chowder had so much going on but was never unpleasant. The two caused a bit of heartburn for me so might keep that in mind if I were to ever try their options that are actually advertised as spicy. Minor gripe - ordered a diet Pepsi that never came. Think that was the food hall and not Elevate though. Happens but still. No Fountain Drink while my mouth is lighting up didn't help.

It didn't taste like Nashville chicken and had chipotle mayo on it. It didn't come with fries though you could pay extra for it, came with a salad. Very expensive for such low quality food that was just totally gross. I wouldn't order from here again. Any fast food restaurant would have been way better than this icky sandwich.

The burgers we got were so flavorful and delicious and we were are blown away by this hidden gem!! My applewood burger was incredible and the maple sauce was delightful.

The Mediterranean salad was excellent pizza shop salad, with plenty of banana peppers and feta. The pizza was fine. I opted for a large pizza with a handful of vegetable toppings. Good, but not exceptional. I actually wish they had more specialty pizza options on the menu. I would have preferred to have someone else recommend the specific combination of toppings they recommended. All told, this was a perfectly serviceable pizza destination. If you're in the area (or at Two Frays next door), it will do the trick.

My friend ordered the Cacio e Pepe pizza, which was a really creative take on the classic pasta dish. The cheese and pepper combination both looked and tasted remarkably like its inspiration. Prices are fair, with most pies in the low $20s, and service is relatively quick. Our pizzas were ready about 20 minutes after ordering. One of my favorite parts of getting AVP is actually where you can take it afterward. I love heading into the central atrium by the plant wall, or outside to the turf area when the weather is nice, and enjoying a hot pizza there. Great pizza, reasonable prices, and a fun spot for a casual meal.

Pizza remains excellent. Drinks and drink menu are also on point. We had the same issue last night that we had over a year ago. The patio area was rented out for a private event so the place was a bit crowded. We waited 35 minutes for a table for 5 adults, which is totally understandable. The moment we sat down, our server started rushing us. After we ordered drinks and apps, he was there immediately for mains. We expressed that we hadn't looked yet, give us a few, and he again pressured us, eventually saying "it's just really busy and we don't have a lot of tables because of that party." The whole end of our meal was him hovering and asking if we were done- at one point directly interrupting conversation to have me hand him "that last plate there" while he leaned over with a massive stack. Just really awkward and unprofessional. I'm truly not a table lingerer but this was like being at a McDonald's. We've always considered this a good place to take a group to connect and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere, but I wouldn't choose AVP again except for quick meals you don't care about.
