I was beyond impressed with Avra from start to finish. Our server, Jonathan, deserves special recognition ~ he was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. Even though our reservation was at 9:30 PM, we never once felt rushed. W...
e stayed until almost 11:15 PM, and the service remained seamless and welcoming the entire time.
What really stood out was that every single person who came by our table, whether helping with food, drinks, or clearing plates, made sure we were taken care of. That level of teamwork and consistency is rare and speaks volumes about how well this restaurant is run.
The food was absolutely phenomenal.
The zucchini chips were perfectly crunchy and addictive. The grilled octopus was tender and full of flavor, and the plaki Chilean sea bass literally melted in our mouths. Every dish was beautifully prepared and executed to perfection.
And then… dessert. The Greek yogurt with berries and berry jam is on a completely different level. Rich, creamy, perfectly balanced ~ it is an absolute must-order and the perfect way to end the meal.
Even though Avra has been open for about 3.5 years, this was my first visit ~ and it definitely won’t be my last. Exceptional service, incredible food, and an unforgettable dining experience. I’ll absolutely be back again.
Avra Miami is an absolute standout. From the moment you walk in, the space feels vibrant, elegant, and effortlessly coastal, like being transported straight to the Greek islands. The service is attentive, polished, and warm without ever feeling...
overbearing.
The food is exceptional: impeccably fresh seafood, beautifully prepared, and full of clean, confident flavors. Every dish feels thoughtfully executed, from the simplest plates to the showstoppers, and the quality is evident in every bite.
Whether you’re there for a special occasion or just an elevated night out, Avra delivers on every level. Refined, lively, and consistently excellent. Easily one of Miami’s best dining experiences.
If you’re seeking a special dinner - this is your place. It’s a greek restaurant with a special fresh fish bar on display. The service was very attentive but not too much.
We tried several dishes and went for an exotic japanese fish we hadn’t h...
eard of before. The waiters suggestion was amazing.
High ceilings and a fine vibe.
Must try!
Avra Miami ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5/5 Easily one of the best Greek restaurants in South Florida.
Yes, Avra is expensive, but honestly, so is just about everything in South Florida these days. What matters is whether the food and experience justify it, an...
d in this case, they absolutely do.
Everything we had was incredibly fresh and delicious, and Matthew absolutely killed it on the service. He did a fantastic job figuring out how many appetizers, mains, sides, and even how much fish we needed for a table of five. The portions and variety were spot on, and we never felt like we were ordering too much or too little.
🥗 Appetizers
Greek Salad 5/5
Fresh, simple and delicious. Tomatoes, Persian cucumber, peppers, onions, Kalamata olives and barrel-aged Arahova feta.
Mussels Saganaki 5/5 ⭐️
Tomato, red pepper, Assyrtiko, garlic and feta. Absolutely fantastic.
Saganaki 4/5
Lightly fried Kefalograviera cheese with lemon and oregano. Very good.
Avra Chips 4/5
Thinly sliced crispy zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki. Great texture and a fun starter.
🐟 By the Pound
Whole Lavraki 5/5 ⭐️
Deboned and served tableside. Excellent. Fresh, perfectly prepared and probably the highlight of the meal.
King Tiger Prawns 4/5
Very good and nicely prepared.
🥦 Sides
Grilled Asparagus 5/5
Oyster Mushrooms 6/5 🤯
Seriously… these were SO good. One of the unexpected standouts of the entire meal.
🍰 Dessert
Coconut Cream Pie 3/5
Absolutely enormous, like over a foot long! 😂 It’s definitely impressive when it arrives at the table, but personally, I’ve had better coconut cream pie.
⭐️ Overall: 5/5
Despite the price, Avra delivers. The seafood is exceptionally fresh, the food is consistently well executed, and the service was excellent. Matthew in particular deserves a shoutout for taking care of our group so well.
One of the best Greek/seafood restaurants I’ve been to in South Florida. Definitely worth a visit.
Honest Review
Overall, our experience had a few highlights but ultimately fell short of expectations.
* Drinks (4/5): Good, but nothing particularly memorable.
* Greek Salad (3/5): The quality of the produce was underwhelming, and the additio...
n of vinegar was not appreciated.
* Avra Chips (4/5): Enjoyable and well-prepared.
* Saganaki (1/5): Disappointing—served cold centred .
* Lobster Pasta (4.5/5): A standout dish—flavorful and well-executed.
* Filet Mignon (3.5/5): Overcooked and dry, paired with a sauce that had an unappealing, paste-like consistency.
* Atmosphere (4.5/5): Very pleasant and inviting ambiance.
* Baklava (1/5): Dry and served with an ice cream scoop that did not complement the dish at all.
Service (1.5/5):
Unfortunately, the service was a major letdown. Our waiter was inattentive and seemed to forget about our table, despite the restaurant not being busy for a Friday night. We were never given the opportunity to order a second round of drinks.
Additionally, food was served on chipped plates, which is unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber.
We visited to celebrate a birthday, but the experience was disappointing. There was no acknowledgment beyond a slice of cake with a candle being placed on the table without any engagement.
Overall:
While the atmosphere and a few dishes were enjoyable, the inconsistencies in food quality, poor service, and lack of attention to detail made this a disappointing visit.
