My steak and shrimp were bland. The waitress was nice and attentive. Other reviews described the atmosphere as “fun and modern”. I would describe it as more “dark and quiet”. I will say, the pricing was INCREDIBLY reasonable.
- The food is always on point. Try the shrimp and grits and get addicted. Flavor overload and the best I've ever had. Very filling meal at a reasonable cost and the menu has something for everyone. - Peter, the manager, is awesome every time! I've been there several times over the last few years and he always brightens our night. - The ambiance is amazing and really exudes class and elegance. Fancy enough to fit in if you're dressed up, but you can also wear a pair of jeans or sweats and not get any dirty looks. The restaurant is connected to the most historical hotel in downtown Wichita, the Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview. Book a night there away from the kids and go have a great meal next door at AVI. - AVI is the perfect place for a date night or simply to have a quality meal. Also, there is some seating upstairs that has a more private feel to it. I'll continue to come to this hidden gem of a Wichita restaurant. If you haven't tried AVI Seabar & Chophouse, get there and try it!!
What a fantastic dining experience at AVI! Our server, Manna absolutely stole the show — sharp, knowledgeable, and full of energy, making the whole evening that much better. The food didn’t disappoint either! My ribeye was cooked to perfection, and the bacon Brussels sprouts were a crispy, flavorful dream. The fish tacos were delicious too, though I found myself wishing their green crème sauce had as much character as the Brussels sprouts’ fun side sauce — a little more zest and it’d be perfect. Overall, highly recommend the AVI experience — great food, great vibes, and truly standout service.
I went here on lunch today like i do on most weekdays. They are typically always slow when it comes to bringing your food out which I’ve grown to be okay with. However today i received the worst service. I believe her name is Stacy which i only knew from my receipt because she did not greet me. Today was not nearly as busy as I’ve seen it before. She ignored me the entire time i tried to get extra silverware because each roll was dirty. I then went to ask a different server and he said he’d get me plastic but never came back while my server is clearly ignoring me. I waited 20 min asked the what it looked to be manger for the same thing and he just looked lost. Really disappointed in AVIs staff today besides the hostess.
We had the best experience at Avi Seabar and Chophouse! From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. The food was incredible—perfectly cooked, SO flavorful, and beautifully presented. I haven’t had this tasty of a meal from a restaurant in a long time. The service was top-notch; everyone was so friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was just right for a date night—elegant, cozy, and welcoming. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a memorable night out!
