Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had an anniversary meal here. Since we planned to eat the complimentary hotel evening meal, we chose lunch to eat here. They provided a yummy cake at the end for our anniversary. It was amazing chocolate to the max. I had baked chicken -...so good. Hubby had steak - also good. The salad presentation is amazing. The meals are just lovely and the service is wonderful.More

Thank you very much, we appreciate all of the feedback and photos you provided. It sounds like you think that you were not eating trout, I’m not sure what you thought you were eating but it was trout, you may not know what trout is....More

Food was very good. I had salmon, which was delicious. Service was just ok. We had to pay to park in an empty lot next to the restaurant.

We were on a short one night visit to Wichita and chose this restaurant for dinner. They weren’t very busy at the time and were happy to accommodate us without a reservation for an early dinner. I had the shrimp and grits with a dirty...martini and highly recommend both! This was my first time having the dish and have ordered it several times since when it is on the menu!More

On March 13 2023 me and my wife had date night. We always love sharing a good cheese fries for an appetizer. After getting or fires and starting to eat them we found that they were undercooked at first just a little but as we...got closer to the middle they started to become crispier and not in the good cooked way. We also found that the bacon bits on top was either extra crispy burnt or chewy raw. I ordered the AVI Center cut tenderloin the steak was cook to a medium but tasted like it wasn't seasoned at all. Then there was the demi glaze sauce that came with it that was not at all tasty it was more like they took the burnt oil they cooked the steak in and add some other things to make it. I paired this with the Baby Yukon Bakers that once again was not seasoned at all and had no flavor. My wife had the same issue with her Baby Yukon Bakers and she had ordered the grilled Caesar with sautéed shrimp on the side the salad was ok and the shrimp on the side were more on the spicier side. Over all it was an ok experience but nothing to really rave about.More

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at AVI on Saturday night after the hockey game. Sandwiches and salads were great, servers were very attentive. Nice classy vibe going on in the restaurant.

Have wanted to try this place for a long time. After our night event, nothing close by peeked our interest, so we just at there since it was close. I had oven roasted chicken over linguine with cream sauce and hubby had 10 oz. sirloin...and full grilled caesar salad. I had house salad. My spouse's plate seemed a bit skimpy but the grilled caesar looked amazing. Nice presentation of food. My chicken was the best I've ever had anywhere. Was a generous portion of the chicken and sauce. Shared with my husband and he loved it. I think we both agreed it was a wonderful meal.More

The steak was excellent, the mash potatoes great, the staff was extremely warm, friendly, and intelligent. This is one of those places that drivers recommend if you ask: "where the best place to eat a good steak?"

We were staying at the Drury Plaza Hotel and we had dinner at the AVI Seabar and Chop House both nights. We sat in a booth downstairs the first night and on the balcony the second night. We had salmon dinners with glasses of red...wine both nights. The food was good and we didn't have to walk or drive anywhere.More

Slow service when not that busy. I have wanted to try this restaurant for a year and was really disappointed. Not a good seafood restaurant and not a good steakhouse. House salad with blue cheese dressing just tasted off. Blackened mahi-mahi sandwich had a lot...of loose seasoning and fish seemed previously frozen and dry. Crème brûlée was supposed to be baileys flavor but seemed to be vanilla and was really soupy and not firm. Will not be back.More

our experience at Avi was wonderful. The host and hostess were friendly and helpful. The majority of Avi’s staff was great! The food divine. I had grilled salmon, he had the Delmonico with Brussels sprouts. It was all delicious. Our server was as attentive as...he could be while taking care of 2 large tables, in addition to his regular section. . My husband’s 2nd glass of wine came after the check. The downside, We requested a booth, preferably in a quieter area. The hostess took us to the perfect spot, as we were sitting the upstairs female server, said no, they can’t sit there. she moved us to the very front booth with an 18 top and a 12 top right next to us. So much for a nice quiet dinner. In all honesty, that would have been ok if the server had been polite about it. She was curt & unfriendly. I can understand logistics problems, but be nice about it, please. All in all, if you have the opportunity dine at Avi’s.More

Good service and atmosphere. Ironically I enjoyed the bacon cheese fries the most. The ranch dressing was so good! The steak was kind of dry and the salmon didn’t have much flavor. The pasta with oven roasted chicken was a highlight. Nice location.

The restaurant is right next door the the Drury - just a short walk. It was an excellent choice. The food choices were excellent and the food was excellent. I had Shrimp Alfredo and my friend had a steak. We loved the food. Our servier...was excellent. We had cheesecake to go and that was wonderful as well.More
