If it looks like Davio's, wines and dines like Davio's and charges like Davio's, it must be---Avila, Davio's Mediterranean sibling. But hey, we like Davio's for its big-city glitter and its Italian-inflected steakhouse fare, hearty and… Read More

"Strikingly tasty, creative" Mediterranean cuisine is the métier of this "go-to restaurant in the Theater District" (an "offshoot of Davio's"), where full meals are "slightly expensive" but the "delicious small dishes" at the "happening bar" are a "great value"; the "elegant", "bright", "airy" setting features "high ceilings, huge windows" and a "friendly" staff that's "accommodating" "if you...

Columbus Fish & Oyster Will Actually Be Called Ostra

The Columbus Hospitality Group's upcoming seafood restaurant that is taking over the Avila space will be called Ostra (Spanish for "oyster,") not Columbus Fish & Oyster, as previously reported. Zagat describes the upcoming project as "upscale," and it could open in the fall. Aside from the oyster translation, Ostra could also refer to a central Italian town of the same name, located in Marche,...

Columbus Fish & Oyster Will Open in Avila Space

Avila's closure is the Columbus Hospitality Group's gain. The group — which currently operates restaurants Mistral, Teatro, Mooo, Sorellina, and L'Andana (plus two hotels) — will open Columbus Fish & Oyster, an "upscale seafood concept," in the recently vacated Charles St. space, a rep tells Eater. Mistral's Mitchell Randall will be executive chef with chef/owner Jamie Mammano. Randall has been...

Avila Will Close Tomorrow

Tomorrow — Saturday, June 29th — will apparently be the last service for Avila, a Mediterranean restaurant in the Theater District. Several Eater tipsters heard the news from the building's security team and noted that rumors of a pending sale had been swirling for some time. Representatives for Avila have not yet confirmed the closure, but the restaurant is not accepting reservations past...

Most amazing #oysters, apps, and branzino! We had an amazing date night. The blueberry almond cake was the most creative (not a cake at all) and delicious dessert We've ever had! And yes, my husband and I agreed on that! I want to try the others but I don't think I could not order this when I come next.
