Reviews for Avra 48th Street in New York, NY
Great selection of fish and seafood. The raw bar platter is huge and fresh and a great value to share as a starter with some... friends. The fish we ordered was so succulent and just perfectly cooked. It cut like butter and was melt in your mouthdelicious. Great selection of wines too, and the bread and olives to start was on point.

They really stepped up the out door eating place. So classic and just beautiful. Even in the winter these outdoor eating areas... are going to be warm and inviting. They go all the way down the street. So even in New York where getting a table is usuallyhard I believe they just may have it under control. Check it out and enjoy Read more
Solid Mediterranean option - liked the vibe and the service was pretty good. Their lunch pre fix menu is a great option at about... $35 including appetizer main course and desert. The rigatoni and the branzino were good but the grilled calamari disappointed(not too flavorful and kinda rubbish)… Read more
August visit and just as amazing as a few months ago! George fromCyprus was EXCELLENT We had an excellent meal here! The service... was not the best nor what I would have expected for this type of restaurant but in the end everything worked out. We ordered thefish soup, Greek salad, tuna steak and Chilean sea bass, and a bottle of wine. Everything had quintessential flavors that wereunique and unlike other restaurants. The bread was outstanding! Crispy crust but light airy on the inside. The olives wereamazing and the hummus was light and delicious. Excellent flavor in the tomatoes and feta. My challenge came with George ourserver. I wanted the sea bass without the sauce and it came with the sauce on everything. I requested that it not have sauce andhe brought the same dish back deconstructed. He just took the former food and put it in a separate plate but it still had thesauce on it. He had an awful attitude and was not very friendly. He made us feel like we were a total annoyance. I asked for itto be cooked without sauce and I saw him in the kitchen waving his armed and not happy explaining what I wanted. In the end whatwas delivered was awesome and so delicious they should really add it to the menu! Grilled Chilean sea bass with lemon and oliveoil. Excellent !! Read more
This place is nice. Lunch dining is a bit of a struggle without a reservation and the hostess (es) had attitudes on this day.... Other than that, the appetizers were amazing and the lunch specials were tasty (if you're a seafood lover, go with the warmseafood salad). The servers were very professional and attentive. I'd recommend this place a a business lunch or even for datenight. Read more
Sunday night dinner at Avra Greek and seafood restaurant felt like a four star home cooked meal. Cozy ambiance inside, and... plenty of exterior seating available. Service was good but not amazing or engaging. Highlights for us was the CHILEAN SEA BASS“PLAKI” oven baked with vidalia onions, potato, herbs, light tomato fish broth entree and GALAKTOBOUREKO semolina custardwrapped in filo with orange lemon zest syrup dessert. My wife had eaten here many times before and thought tonight was a bitoff. We will give Avra another chance to be amazing next time we’re in NYC. Read more
Amazing restaurant! Me & my wife visited Avra for my birthday lunch (3 courses) and we went out like we had 5 courses! Fine... Greek dishes with fair price here! A la carte might be a bit $$$, however, lunch prix price 3 course was fantastic! Goodservice Highly recommend! Read more
Came here for the prix fixe lunch and got catfished. Wish they would’ve done a better job being transparent with supplement... prices while advertising a $30 prix fixe. Don’t come here if you’re a college student you won’t be able to afford it.Overall the appetizer (tuna tartare not pictured) and dessert was mediocre. The chips with the tartare literally taste likenothing and are there for show and the tuna itself is bland. Lobster pasta was good but was expecting much better. Read more
