Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Maitland

Another incredible night at AVA! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy. The cocktails were expertly crafted and delicious, the perfect start to our meal. But the real star of the show was the salt-crusted branzino – it was cooked to perfection and absolutely divine. And a huge shoutout to our server, Arian, who was attentive, friendly, and made our evening truly special. AVA continues to impress, and we can't wait to go back!

We had a wonderful Valentines dinner and they offered a single rose to each woman as a small token. We did ask to be reseated, the whoe place has a wonderfull dimly lit ambience except this one room they tried to seat us. Super bright, white walls instead of the wood panels and a cheesy large screen TV playing a virtual fireplace. Once re seated we were very happy. The only other issue and the deductiion of a star waa the broccoli cheese side dish. For some reason our serving was all small bits of stalks and no flowerets. The rest of the meal, the steaks, cheeseboard, potatoes were all excellent. Still a great dinner out, has been awhile since I visited there.

Joey at reception was adorable and very understanding when we called from traffic running a few minutes late for our reservation. Our server, Ryan was engaging and a pleasure from the moment he introduced himself and until we parted. He was fluid in his knowledge of the menu and recommendations as first time guests of Bulla. We loved spending time with our UCF student athlete for a Valentines treat!

Outstanding service by our server Jay. He recommendations were great! Queso and chips are the best. Will definitely go back soon and ask for Jay.

Fantastic Tiki Bar! Superb ambience with lovely hostess. Surprisingly good food. This is on par with the world's best Tiki bars I've been too... which have been quite a few. The Pop Polynesian decorations, floatsam and jetsam, sculptures, Tikis and oddities really set the atmosphere. Talk to your travel agent now - this is a Must Book 'Permanent Vacation'
