I've been frequenting Avra for years as it was located close to my office. I hadn't been back since covid and boy was I missing out. You can still rely on...

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 the fish soup, Greek salad, tuna steak and Chilean sea bass, and a bottle of wine. Everything had quintessential flavors that were unique and unlike other restaurants. The bread was outstanding! Crispy crust but light airy on the inside. The olives were amazing and the hummus was light and delicious. Excellent flavor in the tomatoes and feta. My challenge came with George our server. I wanted the sea bass without the sauce and it came with the sauce on everything. I requested that it not have sauce and he brought the same dish back deconstructed. He just took the former food and put it in a separate plate but it still had the sauce 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 it to be cooked without sauce and I saw him in the kitchen waving his armed and not happy explaining what I wanted. In the end what was delivered was awesome and so delicious they should really add it to the menu! Grilled Chilean sea bass with lemon and olive oil. Excellent !!

Absolutely delicious meal, great wine and drinks, wonderful atmosphere and excellent service. Definitely coming back.
