What User doesn't like about Avista:
Friendly staff and pretty views. The food was not very special for the price you pay. The chicken was red in the middle and not like blood. Couldn’t end my plate. View all feedback. What User likes about Avista:
Normally I prefer eating inside to avoid insects and smokers, but this very stylish and relaxed outdoor restaurant had plenty (possibly all) non smoking tables, and the slight sea breeze kept the insects at bay. Good, simple, modern food impeccably cooked and professionally served by friendly staff would be enough to visit this place, but add in the view, and it is not to be missed. It is not cheap, but is good value... View all feedback.
