Great location. You can call ahead of time and be added to a waitlist. They will text you when your table is ready. The cannelloni was delicious!

You could not go wrong at Ava's. So many safe options and local fare that you could go there being in the mood for pizza, seafood, pasta, or steak. and be content. There were so many different rooms and the setting was unique in its own right. A must when visiting St. Michaels.

Love the green bean/prosciutto salad. The home made potato chips are wonderful. Pizzas are great also. House salad is terrific. Can't go wrong with anything.

Figured we would give Ava's another chance, and once again we were disappointed. Looks nice in there, but I think the only reason they do business is because they are right there on the main street where people are already walking by. The food is not that good and the prices are ridiculous.

We had seen Ava's on TripAdvisor, and we thought we'd give it a try. It was on the same block as our B&B, so it was very convenient. Since we live on the waterfront in South Carolina, we weren't necessarily looking for good seafood, which is what many people want when they come to St. Michaels. This restaurant was recommended...

We've been dining at Ava's since they opened and have never been disappointed! We are usually served by Jenn who is awesome and knows the menu and wines inside out. Besides the many fire oven pizza options, the meatballs are my number one choice as a starter combined with a Cesar salad. My husband and I always split the salad... More

The food and service was excellent. Not your ordinary pizza place. We were impressed with the atmosphere and attention to detail in everything that we were served. Steve

Sam and Diane weren't there, but I did think I saw Frasier. Good fun and really good food. Perhaps the best caesar salad on the shore. A great place to eat, meet, relax and have fun.

I've read some of the other reviews about Ava's that complain about the wait. We were fortunate to have no wait during two trips to Ava's this past Memorial Day weekend. We hit Ava's at noon, before the crowd of roll-out-of-bed brunch goers. Both times we had excellent food and service. The wasabi oysters had just enough punch, the special... More

This was our first trip to St. Michaels and instead of mulling our options we decided to eat at the #1 rated restaurant on TA. My husband ordered a glass of their red sangria, which came in a large wine glass, and he really liked it. He also had the Onion Tart pizza, while I customized their white pizza with... More
