My family and I enjoyed dining at this Greek restaurant. Fish was fresh and reasonably priced. Although it was kind of crowded, service was attentive. But the table we had was cramped next to fish display...We would come back sometime!

Came here with a huge party and they were extremely accommodating with our reservation and our group. They have a great price fixed lunch for $38 for the quality of the food and what you get it's a steal. I got the grilled calamari to start it was so delicious, fresh and perfectly grilled and seasoned. This was an amazing way to start the dinner. The service staff was super attentive and always changed our silverware after every course. Main course I had their whole branzino which was perfectly grilled and ate perfectly with a squeeze of lemon. For dessert got the baklava which was very well executed and had unique flavor that I thoroughly enjoyed. This definitely place id love to go back and try more dishes. Thanks for having my family and I .

Wow - any place that flies produce, olive oil and fish from Greece must be legit. The Greek salad is $$ but so worth it. Tomatoes, cheese and oil are divine. Brings you back to Santorini or some other Greek isle! Got the grilled octopus (healthy portions!), Avra chips (traditional crispy zucchini & eggplant chips with tzatziki) not to be missed, and grilled jumbo shrimp. Great for business meals, groups and special occasions. Have been a few times over the years and management is still the same which also speaks volumes. Didn't get the pic but the Greek yogurt dessert was so creamy and delicious too. Highly recommend!

Always friendly, professional, fresh and excellent food.I haven't been to Avra for over two years and I was delighted to see some of the managers I knew from sometime ago were still there. They were incredibly accommodating to me as a single diner and gave me choices of seating. I opted for the outside seating as it was a beautiful day. The service was as expected, excellent front. This was a lunch meal and I opted for a green salad with grilled salmon. They didn't have the grilled salmon as an option on the menu, but when I requested it, they were able to make it happen. Every bite was delicious. The salmon was perfectly cooked, fresh, and delicious. I'm so happy that Restaurant was able to make it through the challenging years and it's still a wonderful go to place on the east side. Thanks Avra team!

Avra (any of the locations) is great though I'm a fan of the 48th St location. If you enjoy Mediterranean seafood, this is the place for you. From fresh oysters, grilled calamari, octopus or Greek whole sardine appetizers all fantastic and fresh. Nice selection or whole fish, on display for review the mains are incredible. Service is outstanding and the setting is warm and inviting. Definitely a destination dinner.

Stopped here for dinner, had a drink while waiting on others to show up at the bar. The fish bar shows you the fresh fish for the night, a good selection of whole fish there.The menu was mostly fish, and the appetizers varied - I liked the octopus grilled, classic spreads were ok, and the sea bass souvlaki was just so-so. The main dishes we shared a strip steak (just ok, a little over cooked for medium rare), sea bass plaki was ok (again, not sure why so much tomato sauce). Grilled veggies were fine, and the truffle fries too dry (they need to cut them thinner). Dessert - olive oil cake was ok.Overall the food was ok; the service, though, wasn't great. A lot of waiting for the service between courses, no one around even to refill water after it was requested.
