Pleasantly surprised by how great the ambiance and food are at Aviv! Look no further if you're in the mood for Mediterranean eats. I had several dishes including appetizers - grilled octopus salad, kale & quinoa salad, babaganoush (eggplant dip) with pita and hummus with pita; & entrees - salmon, linguini etc. Everything tasted great but I especially recommend the grilled octopus, babaganoush and salmon dish - the latter being an off menu special. Portions are perfect if you're getting apps before entree. I really wish I had room for dessert - they have an in house pastry chef so they're freshly made. I sat with my friends inside the restaurant but it has a large open front which is appreciated in nice weather. The interior design is very well put together - very pink and aesthetic. Service was great and even the owner was kind and super friendly to all the customers including my group. This resto is moderately pricey but the food quality is truly worth the splurge. Next time I definitely want to dine in their back patio and try a dessert.

Cute, nicely decorated, spacious, very clean, very nice service, sadly, food so so, especially the portions were too small. The plates look cute as they arrange the food and is appealing to the eye yet, not great seasoning either. We won’t go back.

Cute nicely decorated spot, spacious, good service but food is so so, small portions for the price, not great seasoning or flavours. We were not impressed and won’t come back.

service great friendly staff food is very good

Really nice place for brunch. Lovely ambience, loved our shakshuka and the baba ghanoush. The bread was freshly made, crispy on the top and soft in the middle. Great customer service from the waitresses and got to meet the lovely owner. A nice place really to chill out on the weekend. Coming back to try their dinner menu!Bianca

Delicious, house-made food and breads. Brisket and steak sandwiches were excellent. Get them with fries or with a house salad (champagne vinaigrette) as your side - you can't lose because they're both good. I love that the fries come with an aioli and ketchup. Service was excellent and staff is inviting. Would definitely visit again. Your entire menu looks great.

Went here with my girls. Love the vibe and atmosphere. Service were superb and food was fresh and seasoned well.We did family style so we ordered the fried calamari and baba ganoush for starter.For main course, we ordered the pork ribs, seafood pasta, steak (forgot to take pics), we were stuffed. Also the bartender makes great cocktails.Definitely recommend this place and will come back during the summer for patio season?

Aviv has great Mediterranean food and a family friendly restaurant with a kids menu. I really enjoyed the double fried fries and sweet potato fries. They come with a really great aïoli. My sister really liked the brisket but my mom got the same dish and said that her’s was dry. My brother-in-law‘s chicken was dry as well. The highlight of the night for me it was the chocolate mousse dessert which I really enjoyed. Service was great as well.

It’s been ages since I have lived in the St Clair West area. On my most recent trip with my producer from NYC, we were thrilled to stumble on Aviv, a fabulous new restaurant in my old neighborhood! Food, atmosphere and drinks were perfect for our Sunday brunch. We both have particulars when it comes to gluten and dairy, and Aviv fit the bill perfectly. Clearly THE place to be on St Clair West on a Sunday morning. Thank you Aviv! ♥️

AVIV is super cute !!! Such a pretty brunch spot and the staff is so friendly and nice. Brunch was delicious (loved their bennies!)
