Avli Inspired Greek, known for pioneering a Greek dining renaissance at restaurants in Chicago, has opening the doors of its first Avli Inspired Greek location outside of the Chicagoland area at 1818 N. Hubbard St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the Brewer’s Hill neighborhood.
The restaurant, is open for daily dinner service to start, featuring two floors of dining space with 90 indoor seats, 155 seats on the deck and outdoor terrace overlooking the Milwaukee River and downtown skyline, and bar seating on both levels for six to ten guests each.
The newly renovated space, which formerly housed The View MKE, features clean and contemporary decor with whites, wood, and earth tones that evoke the experience of summer in Greece with a fun and festive atmosphere.
The menus, by Executive Chef Babis Tsotras (formerly of renowned Grand Resort Lagonissi in Athens, Greece and Avli on The Park in Chicago, Illinois), will craft everything in-house and made-from-scratch including Greek mezes (small plates meant to be shared amongst the table), a selection of spreads, salads, vegetarian-friendly options, authentic Greek entrees, and rotating desserts.
Milwaukee diners can expect to discover Avli Inspired Greek classics that Chicagoans adore including Kataifi Prawns with shredded filo and spicy aioli; Spanakopita with housemade filo, spinach, feta, and onion; Oven-Baked Greek Style Chicken with sauteed spinach; and Grilled Lamb Chops.
The beverage program is playful and educational, while featuring drinkable familiar favorites.
The curated Greek wine selections will invite guests to explore Greece from crisp whites from Santorini, rosé from ancient Nemea, and reds from north of Mount Olympus.
The cocktail menu features creative takes on the classics including Avli’s signature Teach Me To Dance with Greek wild mountain tea infused vodka, bergamot orange, thyme, honey, and lemon juice.
Lunch, brunch, happy hour, to-go, and a private events program in the coming months.
