- Douglas EllimanJuly 22, 2014An upscale Greek seafood restaurant, serving fresh fish by the pound! We adore how the decor resembles that of a villa, along with the beautiful outdoor seating. Get the Arctic Char for your entre!
- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Avra has some good homemade classics, but the focus is on an extensive menu of fresh seafood that ranges from octopus to jumbo shrimp to swordfish and the unusual grilled sardines. Read more
- Matthew TringaliMay 22, 2015I got the dish of shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams in tomato and orzo. It was excellent, but next time I would do a whole fish dish. The mountain greens as a side was incredible.
- Addison SammetDecember 23, 2017Amazing food. Try the lagostine and the fresh fish. The starters are fantastic. The hummus, olives, and bread are enough to fill your appetite, and it only gets better from there.
- Random NameAugust 24, 2015The fish was very fresh and delicious . I recommend the zucchini chips and the octopus. The staff was very helpful and got my food quickly. Best Greek food I have tasted in the city by far.
- Barbara FernandezOctober 13, 2017very good, the fish was super fresh and served perfectly. We were there last night (Thursday evening) Only problem, very noisy, and it was packed, not an empty table. Hard to have a conversation.
- Julie TringaliMay 22, 2015Oh my word. The fish was light, fresh, and cooked perfectly. They did a sub par job of de-boning it though. Get the mountain green side...perfection. Service wasn't stellar though.
- McKellen RattrayJuly 16, 2013Zucchini/eggplant chips & the octopus appe, great! Plaki seabass was amazing, swordfish also delightful. Baklava and walnut cake AMAZING! Baklava wasnt too sweet and was big on the pistachios, yum!
- Rafael Casas A.March 20, 2013One of the finest Greek restaurants in NY! Crab cake is extraordinary, the Daurade is fabulous, anything you have will for sure be excellent!!!
- MariaOctober 10, 2015Beautiful place, great food - must try the fresh fish. To start, try the octopus, tomato salad and a glass of Greek white wine.
- Sam WinnickOctober 2, 2015I love this place but I don't eat seafood. The gigantes beans are great, the zucchini chips and the chicken entree.
- Frank RimalovskiJune 6, 2012Awesome fresh upscale Greek. All the fish is superb (especially the Char) but beware of market prices. Ask the price per lb. It's ok. Must try the zucchini chips. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
- Chris KonecnyApril 28, 2015Hortas (steamed wild greens) and a well prepared peice of fresh fish makes for a perfect light meal. I will definitely be coming back
- Halstead PropertyAugust 4, 2011Amazing Greek food is not an easy thing to come by, but from your first moments in Avra you will know you found a winner. The charcoal-grilled octopus was excellent, and the fig ice cream for dessert
- Rosemary AbendrothJuly 10, 2011Great outdoor dining. I have only had lunch and dinner before. Today the brunch. Lovely food with one drink included. Jazz group set up later and it did not interfere with conversation or ambience.
- ESeptember 8, 2015Fish is very delicious - try fish of the day and octopus. Simply made which is perfect for this cuisine. Service is meh, esp the hostess
- Chelsea BalkanMay 18, 2013#FabuLIST #DubiDO tasty authentic Greek. Get the Haloumi, Greek salad, and Bifteki Souvlaki. I'm sure everything here is good though! And loved the bread basket.
- Alison B.October 16, 2013Great for business lunches. Start with fried calamari and spanakopita. I recommend the Arctic Char for entrée. Delicious!
- Kenia CollinsMarch 19, 2019Everything was very good, from service to food. The sea bass poached in tomato sauce really stood out!
- Add ons to salads such as shrimp or chicken are billed as appetizers on the Dinner Menu. Lunch Menu is more salad add-on friendly!
- Jeffrey GlueckJanuary 21, 2016Tarama salata with pita a rare find. Great oysters. And don't miss truffle fries.
- New York HabitatDecember 2, 2011Simple Greek food done right. Don't come here without trying the fresh fish by the pound. We recommend the Tsipoura, Lavraki, and Fagri.
- Emily HuntMarch 7, 2013Classic restaurant; always crowded... make a reservation for great seafood and greek munchies
- Amanda KellyFebruary 20, 2015Delicious and great ambiance! Check out the virtual tour before you go. Read more
- Greek food and American Chardonnay! Octopus late on a Friday afternoon could become a ritual
- Michael VagnettiOctober 11, 2012Avra serves two varieties of loose leaf Greek mountain tea (on the dessert menu).
- angela gaylorFebruary 19, 2016Great fresh seafood, but pricey and confusing the way they break it down by pound.
- Arlene MurphyFebruary 16, 2015You can view the fish you wish to order on a frozen bed towards the back of the restaurant
- Some of the BEST Greek food I've had. Wonderful selection of wines, as well.
- Octopus and a glass of Chardonnay is the best way to waste a Friday afternoon!
