Avra Rockefeller Center in New York

"Everything was delicious at Avra Rockefeller Center. It was the perfect pre NYC Marathon dinner with a great ambiance, excellent food, and attentive service. 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"

"Avra was an exceptional dining experience. The atmosphere is elegant, spacious, and spotless, with a beautiful setting that makes it perfect for a special anniversary dinner. The service was attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. 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."

"Avra is always a favorite of mine, and this visit was extra special since I came here to celebrate my birthday. I’ve been here many times and the food is consistently amazing. The tiger prawns never miss, and I always have to order the lobster pasta and finish with the chocolate cake. 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."

"Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious and fresh, and the restaurant itself was spotless and very well kept. The servers were super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. To top it all off, we were surprised with two complimentary desserts, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, a wonderful dining experience — I’d definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone!""

"This was okay! Was it pricey? Yes. Was it perfectly good? Also yes. You will enjoy your food but it won’t be spectacular like you’re expecting for the price you’re paying. I will say, the atmosphere and service is very good. If you want to spend a much of money for that, then this is your place."

"My 9 year old daughter and I had dinner for her birthday and we were sat in a cozy corner table looking out at Radio City. We had mocktails, shrimp cocktail, steak and fish for dinner. Then the olive cake for dessert. Lovely atmosphere and great service."

"A strange mix of fusion between Greek foods that picks up some Japanese styles of serving food. Reason- extremely fresh seafood that works both cooked (like their beautiful plump scallops) and crudo. However, I will take away points as the Greek specific dishes I found somewhat lackluster in execution and flavor. The deserts were also somewhat disappointing, but again it is fine since clearly the focus is on fish."

"Pretty much the best service we've ever had at a restaurant in a very long time. Every server, host, waiter was super warm and attentive -- food was delicious -- atmosphere was lovely. Just a top notch experience, delivered by some of the most charming gentlemen!! Wanted to try it all but unfortunately were rushing off to the theatre for a performance. We had the vegetable chips with what was the most amazing tzatziki type dip, steak, lobster pasta (wow), beet salad (oh my!) and salmon. Wanted to try some of the market fish (those massive prawns!!!!!) and the ice cream that is prepared to order but unfortunately didn't have enough time. Have to thank Nick (I may have forgotten your name; sorry my brain is aging!!!) and downstairs Maitre-D for impeccable service and charm. Will come back again soon xx"
