Restaurants near Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge

My review is biased because I love FishBones. The service, food and ambiance is great! The entire service staff is fantastic but David is our favorite! He is knowledgeable, always giving us really good food and drink recommendations. He is the best! We were there yesterday and had the lady dragon roll, grilled oysters, and bang bang shrimp for appetizers. We had the grouper with crab meat and baked potato - every thing was delicious. Our parents had the steak and shrimp scampi with baked potato and salads as well. We also had the scampi with the grouper. The food was amazing. The entire table raved about the food but we always do! The ambiance is nice when dining outdoors in the evening. Beautiful night, food and company! This is a great place for any occasion but top notch for a special occasion! Highly recommend! Our food with tip was a little over $100 per person and that included 2 drinks per person for a party of four. I think the value is excellent for the quality and portion sizes. Most dishes are shareable.

From beginning to end from the hostess to the waitress to the food drinks and dessert everything was top-notch

My absolute favorite restaurant. We drive from Tampa to go to Ava. Service and Food are outstanding. My husband and I love this place. You will not be disappointed. Dress code? YES! Thank you for that Ava. If you insist on going out in public in your pajamas and crocs, skip Ava! Put yourself together, snappy casual with the coolest of vibes and plan on having an exceptional dining experience. ♥️

First time there and would definitely go back. Pretty extensive menu and food was very good. Our server, Juan, was terrific. We were there for a late lunch so the noise level was low. Definitely recommend this place!

Very great ambience and wonderful views of the Marina. The food was great quality. Our first time there and we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. They greeted us by congratulating us.
