Love this place. We’ve been eating many times with my wife. What makes this restaurant unique is surely the dedication and love with which every meal is cooked. Carmen & Aurelian are great hosts and make you feel comfortable and taken care of. We will surely come back and bring friends and family. When you miss the flavors and taste of Mediterranean cuisine, Bravo Avo is the way to go! Tip: ask for the Saganaki and see Aurelian himself light it up in front of you at the sound of Opa!!!!!

Super nice family style authentic Greek spot. Definitely a gem in Lake Forest.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bravo Avo is a hidden gem. Their menu is great, with creative dishes! Every bite was an amazing, and the attention to detail in presentation and taste. Bravo Avo is a must for foodies looking for something fresh and delicious. I’ll be back soon!

Absolutely love Bravo Avo! Everyone who works here is genuinely kind and so attentive to every little detail …not just when taking your order, but in how they care for the entire restaurant. It’s spotless, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. The new look is stunning, love the lighter colors they’ve truly leveled it up! And the food? Still top-tier, fresh, and full of flavor. This is what a family-run business is all about all heart, quality, and pride in everything they do. The best in Foothill Ranch, hands down!

We are so glad we found this adorable Greek place! We came in for dinner and enjoyed some wine as well. It had a cozy family feel. The food, the waitress and the atmosphere were all wonderful. We will definitely be back.

A GEM of restaurant, right here in south county. Truly delicious Greek food, authentic flavor and presentation offers many choices. Hospitality is warm and welcoming, Carmen is a host who is beautiful inside and out. This is something you will be happy that you find. Enjoy yourself here!

If you are on a Mediterranean diet (a healthy choice) or like this kind of food, you should definitely go to this cute place with delicious food and friendly staff! Their pita bread is divine, their hummus is delicious! We went there as a family and had a great time. My daughter loved their falafel, my son likes their beef shawerma, and we, the parents, enjoyed their meat combos and wines at a great price. We'll be back. Thank you, Carmen, and co. 🙂

Absolutely amazingly delicious food, well seasoned, perfectly roasted lamb shank and chef’s presentation so beautiful! Salmon was melting and shrimp one of most delicious I ever had. Portions are generous, couldn’t finish it all. We will definitely be back for dinner. Server Ljuba was kind and helpful, she told us they have live music on Fridays, definitely coming back.

Friendly and helpful staff, went on a Monday night and it was not crowded at all, many people came in for takeout throughout our meal as well, and they were attentive. So many selections, I had a hard time deciding! Tried falafel plate, chicken/beef kebabs, house wines, and multiple desserts: pistachio gelato, key lime cheesecake, & cappuccino gelato. Baklava to go is a must! Their chicken kabob is also a personal fave. Honestly left wishing I had eaten a little more. The plating of the rice was a cute & unique touch! Will be back 👍

Such a great, locally owned restaurant. The owner and her husband takes real pride in her food, decorations and service.

Such a lovely spot! The food was full of rich, authentic flavors with a special touch of seasoning that made everything memorable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming — perfect for a relaxed meal. Carmen, who took care of us, was incredibly kind and attentive. Her warmth really stood out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great Mediterranean food and heartfelt service!

Not big on Mediterranean/Greek food, but wife wanted to eat something healthy, so here I am. But I must say the food was great and very fresh. The pita bread was amazing and the chicken kabobs are the best I ever had. The chicken was marinated and cooked perfectly. My wife loved the balsamic vinaigrette dressing. And the salad was fresh and cold. This is definitely a family owned business. The owner was working the cash register and I believe his wife(?) was doing the cooking and she did a great job! We ordered the family meal deal and all the food was great. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant.

2nd visit and BravoAvo did not disappoint. Love their food. I had a wonderful glass of Cabernet with dinner. Beautiful music playing and huge pictures of Greece in a cozy booth. Christina our food server checked on us all through the meal. Again, check this spot out!

I am visiting town and had a great experience at Bravo Avo! Food was excellent, staff was super friendly. Highly recommend if you are in town!

Just had the most amazing Mediterranean food tonight at Bravo Avo in Foothill Ranch. Food was superb and the lamb dishes literally melted in your mouth! The highlight was meeting the owners... Carmen and Adonis were such gracious hosts! Can't wait to enjoy more meals.

We got food for a work meeting and everything was amazing. Folks really liked the food, family meal was great in terms of size, staff were very helpful. Will come back soon.

This place is incredible! It is family home feeling. My husband and I both loved every bite of our food. Everything is made from scratch and amazing. The falafel and crispy and soft. The Vegitarian Grape Leave wraps are full of flavor! The server Liubov was so sweet and answered all our questions. Finished out meal off with the Baklava, I don't care for walnuts, but man it was fantastic! Can't wait to come back!

Service was great, friendly , Luba, the server was helpful with suggestions. And Adonai came to check on us how we were enjoying ourselves. We had a great conversation with them. Atmosphere is calm, love the music! Pretty clean and beautiful decor. Food was excellent 🤤! Seven hrs roasted lamb, eggplant moussaka were delicious!! And falafel was so crispy and yummy 😋!!

This restaurant has fantastic food. It’s just a small place in foothill ranch but the Greek/Mediterranean food is sensational. It’s sooo full of flavor and the staff is always kind and welcoming. Atmosphere is kinda this family owned feel like everyone here knows each other and they will recommend food to help you find what you are looking for. Cute date night or seems like a fun place for a girls night lots of desserts and drinks also!!

Ordered the 7 hour lamb platter. It was delicious! Very tender. Every bite was amazing. Served with rice, pita bread and grilled vegetables. This was my first visit here but definitely not the last! Great place

Erica Kanca

Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was a hit, from the kabobs to the hummus with warm, fluffy pita. The service was just as impressive—friendly and welcoming without being overbearing. You can tell the staff takes pride in both the food and the overall experience. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Surprisingly good for a place all the way up in Foothill Ranch. Their pita bread was soft, warm. The rice was very unique and tasty. The yogurt tzatziki was okay. The meats were also good. Tasted the lamb, beef, and chicken. Service was relatively fast and good.

Update: My review was not mistake, I went to your restaurant for my birthday, I live in Chicago and I was on business trip on that day so I wanted to treat myself with nice Greek food (all Greek restaurants in Chicago area are awesome, so I assumed this can't be mistake). I had such a disappointment at this place and it ruined my day like no other restaurant in my life. Teach your waiter and your cook to serve food properly or find other one or close that place if you are unable to run it properly. BTW I left more than gracious tip (more than 20%) because I'm not cheap person even if they didn't deserve anything.
