Avra Estiatorio is a restaurant that transports you to the Greece of your imagination. The sky is vivid blue and the air is drenched with sunlight and the aroma of freshly caught fish grilling over an open fire.

Our usual Greek go to Restaurant was not open but recommended this one. It was an excellent meal. I had the halibut which was perfectly grilled. My wifeâs salmon was also very nice. They did not have moussaka on the menu which is odd for a Greek place. The baclava was delicious.

This is a large, very modern and comfortable restaurant on two levels, with a great, extensive wine selection by the glass. Perfect place to call into for lunch if you are staying in the area between Rockefeller Plaza and Central Park. Delicious bread, very relaxing, lovely, highly professional staff, especially Kate who took care of us with distinction. An immaculate and clearly Wonderfully managed restaurant. We were impressed. Best place to sit is on semi-circular banquettes by window, opposite bar. The menu was superb, something for everyone. My son thought his desert was amazing. Since we visited by chance as a âwalk-inâ various New York people have told me how highly they rate this restaurant. Iâm told that this restaurant keeps getting better, I can believe it. If you are in the Central Park or Rockefeller Plaza area and want to go somewhere which is great value, luxurious and with an excellent menu, you just cannot go wrong here.For a chain, this is impressive. However I have been told that the branches of Ocean prime in other American cities are also totally individual. This particular branch reminds me of New York City and it does New York proud. Highly recommended, we intend to go back again before we leave for London

Beautiful floral bouquets throughout the restaurant create a romantic setting. Service from your entrance into the restaurant to your departure is personal and memorable. This is not an inexpensive restaurant, but the prix-fixe lunch, because of the quality of the ingredients and the execution, is an incredible deal. Our lunch included a lobster medallion salad, beef bourguignon, and pistachio souffle. The salad was a meal in itself; the lobster, fresh and perfect. The souffle was heavenly.

The tuna appetizer was excellent, the pork rolls were excellent, the strip steak was excellent, the snapper entree was excellent, avoid the ice dessert, all food was very tasty butthe price point and portion size left us gouged and hungry. The atmosphere was great with the 70's music and its a lovely setting. All at the table were shaking their heads at the small portion sizes of the food and the pricing was very high for the weight and size of the order. We will not return because we do not feel that this restaurant is worthy of a 2nd trip as the value involved is not worth the visit.Hello Eric, Thank you very much for your feedback. I am so sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the portions of our dishes and didn't feel the value was represented throughout your experience. If there is anything I can do to help change your mind about the restaurant, or if there are any other thoughts you would want to make me aware of from you evening with us, I am open to all thoughts. If you have a moment, please feel free to email me directly: [email protected]. I am available to jump on the phone as well if that's easier. Thank you again, and hope we can speak soon.Sincerely,Whitney

Small intimate restaurant near Central Park. The owner, Maria Loi is Chief and a delightful personality. Her manager, Alex is charming and attentive. You feel like you just entered your best friend's home. But, even more impressive is the fresh and uniquely prepared dishes. We were saddened we couldn't try more. Loved the fresh lentil soup, grape leaves and fish of the day. The desserts were light - you won't believe their baklava - no butter (made with olive oil) and may be the best I've ever had. All meals are freshly prepared - this place is amazing!

This restaurant has great food and service but my visit was lackluster after a private dinner in a very small private room. They decided to make the table setup diagonal - what a horrible decision!!! The waiters were constantly all over us due to the awkward setup. A completely stupid table setup decision that ruined and otherwise perfect meal. My suggestion - don't have a private room - it is rather ugly and old - just seat folks at the regular restaurant until you update the room (it is well overdue and embarrassing)Hi,First and foremost we are glad to hear that the cuisine was delicious! We appreciate your honest feedback, as this is how we're able to improve when necessary. This will be brought to the weekly management meetings to discuss better ways to seat groups in our Board Room.

Interesting combinations of tastes in many dishes and the seafood was fresh and very high quality. Crab and kale salads each very good. Scallops were divine. Every dish was a hit with our large and boisterous party including the mousse for dessert. Service was spot on. Highly recommend for seafood lovers. A bit noisy.

The staff is exceptional and every single one of them made us feel extremely welcomed. We arrived at 5:30 pm and ordered from the weekend theater prix fixe menu, a 3-course meal that is a real steal at $49.00. I started with a haloumi, fig and fennel salad, which was light and delicious. My main course was the levraki (bronzino), which was cooked and seasoned to perfection! I ended my meal with a custard dessert. We were nicely surprised with a complimentary mini mousse cake in honor of our anniversary. My husband raved about his lamb chops. We can't wait to return again!!
2. Bahari Estiatorio

Trip Advisor reviews brought us here. We have eaten in Astoria over the years. Bahari is by far the most authentic of all the greek places we have tried. Dress was street casual. There was no wait Saturday 5:30 pm. The waitress brought bread and water promptly. I ordered a house roseâ that was light and crisp. We shared a Greek salad, and a plate of the traditional dips. They were delicious. My husband had the grilled squid with potatoes. He said it was done perfectly. Another waiter explained to him that the squid is thicker than the one they make fried calamari with. I tried the stuffed cabbage in a lemon sauce,a first for me, it was clean tasting definitely made with good quality meat and a side of string beans. Iâm not greek but I have to think this is an authentic dish. Dessert was on the house. Nice friendly atmosphere. The only negative is the sound is very loud and itâs hard to hear each other. We will return. The prices are reasonable for such well prepared food.
