Avra – Greek
Step into a sun-drenched sanctuary where the crisp, white-washed aesthetic of the Greek islands meets the vibrant energy of a sophisticated seaside villa. The air hums with the scent of charcoal-grilled seafood and zesty citrus as diners select the day's freshest catch from a shimmering ice display, bringing the spirit of a bustling Mykonos market to life. Every plate celebrates the pure, elemental flavors of the Aegean, from the delicate crunch of herb-flecked appetizers to the rich, golden pour of premium olive oil over salt-crusted whole fish.

What diners are saying
Diners consistently praise this Midtown Greek spot for its serene, village-like atmosphere and exceptional seafood. Guests rave about the "heavenly" hummus, perfectly cooked branzino, and tender lamb chops, with the prix fixe lunch noted as an unbeatable value. While service is largely celebrated as professional and welcoming—especially for special occasions—some visitors report inconsistent experiences with management and food quality.
