Avra Miami

Natalie was FANTASTIC and so knowledgeable. We had a couple allergies at our table, both gluten and pork, and she made sure we were taken care of. Absolutely no complaints. To start, my sister and I split the octopus which was so flavorful. We also ordered the salmon sashimi and my goodness was it fresh!! Also, you can't go wrong with their truffle fries. My dad got the shrimp and with no exaggeration it was the best I've ever tasted. I'm still thinking about it. My brother did the Miami Spice menu and he ordered the octopus, the lobster pasta, and the olive oil cake. Let's just say he was very pleased. To add, my little sister got the lamb chops and it was cooked to perfection. My sister got the Greek yogurt dessert and I tried the cheesecake. Sooo yummy!! Might I add - the drinks were delicious. I requested the driest cab they had and it was super light and just what I was craving. My sisters both ordered spicy margaritas, my brother got a woodford old fashioned, and my dad got an espresso martini. The ambiance was spectacular and the service was impeccable all around. You won't regret dining here.

This food was fantastic, for me fancy dinners with my family are the most amazing meals. Avra has a great location and luxurious feel with wonderful decor and outdoor view.The service was great and the waitress was super kind in assisting us with certain dishes she recommended. It was overall very very yummy and worth it.

A true gem, the food is superb, the service is spot on and the ambiance very upscale. I would definitely come back to this place. So you begin your experience with a valet parking, then you enter at the bar, and then to go back to a very welcoming nature atmosphere.

The food is good, the ambiance beautiful, but the service leaves a bit to be desired. Our server was very grouchy and kept trying to push us toward more expensive items, more expensive wine and even switched an app to a much more expensive entree. I called the manager the day after when I took a closer look at the bill and she was able to adjust for the sneaky upcharges. Took forever to get our wine. The food was delicious, everything from the zucchini and eggplant chips to the fish, but the prices are a bit outrageous. You're paying for the location after all. I did not like the baklava for dessert, it was tough as a rock (not soft and flaky like it should be) and did not taste like any baklava I've ever had. All in all, we probably would have had a much nicer experience here if it hadn't been for our unpleasant waiter. It was three of us (elegantly dressed middle aged ladies celebrating our friend's 50th birthday) and he single handedly ruined the mood and the evening for us. What a shame.

This was an incredible dinner ,ambiance and fresh fish !Better than NYC !Highly recommend the branzino and the octopus which was fresh and amazingly delightful.The scenery and setting breathtaking !

Avra, located in the luxurious Aqualina Estates in Sunny Isles, offers a remarkable dining experience with a focus on traditional Greek cuisine. The ambiance is stunning, featuring elegant interiors, pool, and beach views from the outdoor patio, making it an ideal spot for date nights, family dinners, and special occasions.The menu is praised for its fresh seafood, with standout dishes like branzino, octopus, and Portuguese sardines. Diners also enjoy the Mediterranean appetizers and delectable desserts. The Miami Spice menu is a popular choice, offering a variety of delicious options.Service quality can vary, with some patrons noting exceptional attention and accommodation, while others experienced less satisfactory interactions with servers. Despite this, the overall experience is often redeemed by the beautiful setting and the quality of the food.Avra's atmosphere, combined with its high-end fine dining and breathtaking scenery, positions it as one of the most beautiful restaurants in South Florida. The restaurant maintains the quality and consistency of its New York City predecessors, making it a top choice for those seeking refined Greek cuisine in a picturesque location.

AVRA's relatively new Miami location maintains the quality and consistency of its NYC predecessors.The space is gorgeous and classy. It lends itself well to date night and family dinners alike with a mix of cozy round booths on the perimeter and longer central tables. The service is intuitive and friendly.Almost everything on the menu is delicious and crave-able. There is a huge selection of fish and seafood which can be prepared by virtually any method you desire. My favorite appetizers are the Avra chips and octopus. No visit is complete without the chopped green salad. The hamachi and salmon crudo were good but the portion was small - skip this unless you're craving sashimi. For mains the Branzino is a go to. The lamb chops are also great quality and well prepared. This time I tried the Carabineros (scarlet prawns) and it's safe to say I will be ordering these sweet and tender shrimp again.I have to give a bid to the cocktails as well as they were expertly mixed. Finally, I'm not actually a huge fan of most of the dessert options, but the olive oil cake is moist and the sweetness is just right. The chocolate and pistachio ice creams were also excellent - they are not your typical ice cream parlor flavors.Overall, AVRA Miami serves up a consistently great experience in a beautiful and upscale setting making it a staple for a nice dinner out.

Fantastic experience. I've visited two of their locations in NYC and decided to try Miami. Gabriel took such good care of us, was knowledgeable, instructive and not pushy. A True professional! Made our experience flawless.The ambiance is what you would expect at a restaurant of this high caliber - beautiful. In terms of the food, I have been to many Greek restaurants including some or the best in Greece, this place tops them all. Amazing ingredients, preparation and delivery. We had mostly seafood- delicious. Tomatoes in the salad tasted like they were grown in Greece. It's hard to make saganaki impressive, but they did! Be prepared to pay top dollar for food, drinks, wine but it's well worth it!

Used to be my favorite spot for dinner. Unfortunately, things declined over time. Yesterday's experience was a last drop. I'm not sure did it have to do with our server or something else, tbh. Me and my husband were celebrating an anniversary, and both were excited to indulge in our favorite foods at the favorite place. We usually get octopus (uncut) and were refused to have it made this way. Also, there was always an option for some steamed fish, but also got a "no-no" from the server. Well, we still enjoyed each other. But Avra Miami is out of the list for us.
