Great Greek Food in a Nice Atmosphere - Yahoo Local

Great Greek Food in a Nice Atmosphere: Read all reviews of this place and noted it was above average Greek restaurant specializing in seafood. Went here with a party of six, including teenagers. The menu had something for everyone. Great Greek dishes along with great desserts. The service was quick and pleasant. We did go on a Saturday for lunch though and it was not overly crowded. I would highly recommend this restaurant for good food and good atmosphere very close to the theater district.

Avra's delicacies - www.nyc.com

Avra's delicacies are graciously served in a setting evocative of a splendid Greek home. Innovative Greek architect Yianni Skordas has turned the spacious Avra interior into a cozy dining environment which also includes a courtyard for al fresco seating in the summer. Everything about Avra is homey. From the flowers to the Jerusalem limestone floors, stonewash walls of the interior remind one of the traditional white walls and blue roofs often seen in postcards of Greece and its famous islands.

Avra specializes in grilled seafood using only the freshest and most flavorful ingredients available. "Simple cooking is the best cooking," is the mantra of Executive Chef George Georgiades. A beautiful filet of lithrini from the Mediterranean or an American snapper from the Atlantic dressed only with extra olive oil, fresh herbs and lemon, or a classic octopus grilled to perfection - these are sample dishes that exemplify Avra and the essence of Greek cooking.
