Reviews
The hummus with the soft pita bread is also delicious (just be careful not to fill up on it before your main dishes!). The staff truly made this visit memorable — they were incredibly patient and kind, especially while I was taking pictures, and really went out of their way to make the experience feel special. Between the incredible food, attentive service, and beautiful atmosphere at the Rockefeller Center location, it was the perfect place to celebrate. I can’t recommend Avra enough and will definitely keep coming back.
For our meal, we ordered the Chilean Sea Bass Plaki, which was oven-baked to perfection with Vidalia onions, potatoes, herbs, and a light tomato fish broth—absolutely flavorful and comforting. We also had the Faroe Islands Salmon, charcoal grilled and served with grilled vegetables, and it was cooked beautifully and tasted incredibly fresh.
To finish, we shared the famous 16-layer chocolate cake, and it did not disappoint rich, decadent, and so good. Avra truly delivers delicious Mediterranean seafood with a refined yet welcoming experience. Highly recommend.
We began by ordering two appetizers. Only the hummus arrived, and honestly, it was not good and lacked flavor and quality. The second appetizer, a Greek salad, never arrived and we had to remind the waiter more than once. It finally came at the very end, after a long wait. When I tried it, I found it strange that it was served with only a small piece of goat cheese. Typically, a Greek salad comes with several pieces of feta cheese or a much more generous portion, which was clearly missing here.
We then ordered two main courses. We also requested that a glass of white wine be served when the second dish arrived so it could properly accompany the meal. The wine never came. I mentioned it again, but by that time I was already finishing my plate, so I decided to cancel it. These kinds of details really impact the dining experience, especially at a restaurant that aims to provide attentive and high-quality service.
It is a shame, because the restaurant has a lot of potential, but the service felt disorganized and the food did not surprise me or justify the expectations or the prices. With better service coordination and more attention to detail, the experience could be much better.
We loved the complimentary hummus , peppers , olives and pita bread to start, which was a lovely surprise. We then shared the classic spreads, followed by the halloumi with grilled orange, honey, and sesame. The Greek salad was outstanding, especially the tomatoes, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful.
For mains, we had the roasted Mediterranean chicken with lemon roasted potatoes, and it was excellent. A truly satisfying and well balanced meal.
Five stars. Highly recommend for a special night or a great pre race dinner
Everything from the atmosphere to the food was outstanding. The service truly made the night—our waiter, Luke, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. He made excellent recommendations and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. A wonderful dining experience in the heart of the city. We’ll absolutely be back! I wish I took photos – was too busy enjoying the experience.
