Best Authentic Restaurants in Brown Deer

I really like this place! Not only are they outstanding, food, service , and prices. They honor their customers reservations. Very rarely that a place hit on all these points.

As always we had an excellent experience! Great service and atmosphere.

We went with another couple and everything was good and well presented except my Cacio & Pepe which was closer to macaroni and cheese than actual cacio & pepi-it was pasta smothered in a heavy cheese sauce. I will go there again but definitely order something different . We liked the atmosphere and our server was terrific.

A revised menu and the favorite Flammekueche is back!! -- thin crispy flatbread with freme fraiche, bacon, and onions. We shared three flatbreads with our group of 6 people and had more than enough to go around which we paired with litters of German beer and wine. Very attentive waitress given the crowded atmosphere enjoying the annual Tuba Christmas -- always a fun place with great beer and staff.

We had a great meal at Avli! We got there earlier than our reservation, so we had a nice drink at the bar and then were seated promptly at our appointed time. We did a variety of hot and cold meze and made a meal out of that. Favorites included: dolmades, zucchini fritters, octopus and an amazing dish with cheese and peppered fig. Service was attentive without being intrusive. I had been to Avli previously but my 3 guests had not—everyone began to plan return visits.
