    This is our second visit and Ava does not disappoint. A tribute to the local area of their food and wine offerings. Not an overwhelming menu, just right so you have choices, yet each selection was a winner. Started with a delicious warm sourdough focaccia that shows you the journey you will go on. The service is excellent, they know the menu, the wine list and happy to provide suggestions. If in Milawa a must visit.

    Food was very nice, just found towards the end of the evening the service became quite slow and this is why we did not order desert or extra drinks.

    We dined at Ava for our business Christmas Luncheon, the food was impeccable and the service was outstanding. It was a relaxed environment and staff didnt rush us to leave. It was an amazing experience!

    Loved the Matradee!! Can't remember her name unfortunetely but she served us last time and remembered our favourite wine!! She was fantastic and understood the dietaries! She had so much knowledge about all the local wines which we appreciated as big red wine drinkers. Coming back again this Friday for another birthday celebration and can't wait. The only thing we would advise other diners would be to get an early dinner session as peak hour can sometimes have fairly long wait times for your main meals. Ada is exactly what Milawa and the surrounding towns needed! We will always be back :)

    We had a lovely window table for our Anniversary dinner. The oysters were sensational as were my scallops & my husbands quail. Our steaks were a generous size & a lovely cut but were a little under done from the medium we had ordered. In hindsight I should have gone the pork belly which was my second choice. Service was outstanding and all staff were welcoming, friendly & prompt with their interactions with our table. I would have liked some audible music to complete the setting but otherwise it was a fabulous evening out and I highly recommend a night out at Ava Dining.

    Excellent food, wine and service but very noisy due to the over abundance of hard surfaces. Some baffling or material could absorb most of it. Great overall experience and we will most definitely be back
