Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Waterford Lakes

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!

As we are from the St. Louis area, we frequently dine in an Italian community known as “The Hill”. Our experience here was every bit as genuine, delicious, and enjoyable as we could have expected. The specials of the night were excellent and the tiramisu was delightful. Our compliments to the chef, wait staff and family! We WILL return.

My steak was cooked to a perfect medium just the way I like. My wife had the drink special for Valentine’s Day and she couldn’t stop saying how good they were. She had the filet and lobster tail and loved it as well. Definitely will be going back very soon.

Great experience, food, service, and location was great

We had a great experience and the food was exceptional. A highlight for us what the gaucha named Lady who was so kind to us and made us feel so welcome. Most of the gauchos are polite but Lady was above and beyond. She was so thoughtful and made us feel like a friend was coming by to serve us every time she brought the picahna to us. She’s awesome!
