I had a wonderful experience at Avra! Starting out, I had Sunday brunch but there was a lot going on that weekend so for my birthday brunch most of my party was either late or did not show up due to unforeseen circumstances - the host was perfectly well equipped to help me out in making sure I had an unbelievable experience regardless. They adjusted the seating several times, they never told me or made me feel that I was not welcome. The food was phenomenal. The waitstaff were phenomenal. Just a 10 out of 10 experience. A lot of restaurants fail to understand, when we're coming out of the house to eat it's not just about what is on the plate. It's about the ambience, how well each diner is being treated and Avra went above and beyond. If I were ever in the neighborhood again, (I'm coming from out of town) then I would most certainly eat here and I would recommend -highly recommend- that others eat here as well if they want top level service, beautiful restaurant and delicious food. read more

Avra is easily one of the top restaurants in Dallas. Hands down! It's esthetically beautiful and the food is even better. Everything is so fresh!!! The fresh and simply prepared seafood is top tier. The unique Mediterranean concept with an in-house fish market presentation is an experience in itself. The team is very well educated about the flavor profiles of each, so you get a great description of anything you're unfamiliar with. All of the sides and appetizers are simply prepared and perfectly complement. We've visited 3-4 times and service is always immaculate. Food: We've tried the fried scorpion fish, lavraki, dorado, Nigerian Tiger prawns, barbounia, lobster spaghetti, and a couple others. All were phenomenal. Scorpion fish might be my fave. The fresh cut fries, Avra chips, and Skordalia dip are more highlights for me, but honestly I wouldn't hesitate to try anything....everything is just prepared so well. Tips: You can select your fish from the fish market and it's priced by the pound. Go for brunch and get a free cinnamon that's better than most bakeries! read more

Came with my friend for an early dinner and we enjoyed our time here! Parking was super easy with valet and we were seated immediately upon arriving. The customer service was amazing throughout the evening and our waiter was very knowledgeable. We started out with a tour of their fish market and their options were plentiful and looked fresh. We decided on the Lavraki, Tsipoura, and Prawns. For starters, we ordered the calamari and yellowtail jalapeño. Both dishes were delicious and a perfect start to our meal! The mains came out and we paired it with grilled veggies and roasted potatoes. The fish was mild, flaky, and delicious and I loved the grilled flavor of the prawns! I also was thoroughly impressed with the roasted potatoes and veggies. We ended our meal with their homemade ice cream and it was delightful! I'll definitely return to try out other food items and to have an enjoyable time. read more

I came here for a birthday dinner and left with so much more! We were a party of 10 and our server was great. The fresh fish that he displayed was Top Notch, they bring you the fish to the table. And they explain in detail each fish and price! They had me at Fresh Fish which is what I got, it was the fish under the branzino. It was grilled perfectly and the lemon butter sauce was to die for! My side was the Greek salad. The Greek salad took me back to Greece fresh vegetables delicious olive oil and herbs. My friends got the lobster pasta which she loved. Another guest got the salmon with roasted veggies and they said that was delicious as well. The Ambiance is upscale Mediterranean, but it made you feel like you were the guest of honor! I will definitely be back I heard their lunch menu is great! read more

Amazing Greek restaurant where we got a chance to try a variety of dishes and found some absolute favorites. Beautiful restaurant with elegant bar and dining area! Began with a gin cocktail and some appetizers. Their take on a Greek salad was spectacular with lots of fresh grilled veggies. Also enjoyed their trio of dips with a fantastic tzatziki! Then we enjoyed amazing grilled shrimp and tuna tartare which was so delicious and fresh! The main courses were a variety of their dishes - many meat which I don't eat but their Sea-bass was melt in your mouth and their vegetables were cooked to perfection. Finally they brought us a dessert tray with a variety of pastries and fruit! They told us their signature was baklava which I typically don't like but their version was spectacular and. It too sweet. Really loved it! Service was fantastic throughout the night! This was a delicious meal on a very pretty setting! read more

A fantastic new Greek/Mediterranean venue that opened in September of 2025. We went there with a large group and everyone was thoroughly impressed with the service, the food, and the ambience. We started with drinks at the bar, which is beautifully appointed, and the bartenders were great. The restaurant menu is large with a mix of Mediterranean dishes, fresh fish, steaks chops, and many traditional Greek items. Most of the sides are a la carte. If you are considering fish, it includes a tour of the fresh fish cabinet, which is a large case full of ice and multiple different types of fresh fish and crustaceans. Wow! We ordered several for the table to eat family style. The Dover Sole was a huge hit, but everything was delicious. Try the carrabineros shrimp - fantastic. They have a great wine list, and our waiter was outstanding in helping us decide what to order. For dessert I highly recommend the butter cake, which was truly exceptional. Overall we had a wonderful experience and a very special night. read more

Just wow. What an incredible experience. Went to lunch with a vendor here and was blown away. Silent service and incredible food. The tuna tartare was melt in your mouth. Grilled octopus had a perfect to the tooth texture. The grilled calamari is by far the BEST calamari I have ever had. I loved the international representation on the wine list. Mediterranean options were very smart. Will also say the linguini and clams was delicious. The texture from the breadcrumbs was a nice touch. Light on the clams, but thanks to the economy we're trapped in, it makes perfect sense for the price. Well done to you Avra. Yes, this is definitely a much higher price point than a daily visit but it is well worth it. I see this concept lasting in a fog of hype, instagram places. I have nothing but good things to say. Oh, and the space is beautiful! It is airy and very Mediterranean coast. Their designer knows what they're doing, and it transitions nicely from the hotel courtyard to the restaurant. read more

Took a friend visiting Dallas to Avra, we had a reservation for 3 people at 8:30pm. We waited about 30 mins to be seated on the other side of the bar, where service was very slow. The complimentary hummus was nice, but the lavraki and octopus were underwhelming in flavor and small portions. We ordered a red snapper and other fish for the table, lobster pasta and the roasted potatoes. At the "fish market", we were quoted that the fish would be 2.5-3 lbs total, but when we received the bill, we were shocked to see 5lbs of fish charged. At $70+/lb, this is an outrageous upcharge. Even on the menu, it states 1lb/person recommended AND we supplemented with another entree (the lobster pasta which hardly has any meat in it). In addition, the fish had gamey-ness. Very unhappy with the overall slow service, non transparent pricing and food. Would not return read more

Upon entering the restaurant, I immediately loved the ambiance. Elegant and sophisticated, so don't come in here with t-shirts and flip flops! I mean you could but you might be turned away! Our server was pleasant and very helpful with all of our questions. He made sure we were good the entire time and not too much. Now here's what you came here for - the food! Hummus 9/10: I believe it is complimentary and it was some of the best I've had. Fresh and served with pita slices and crackers. Not a fan of the crackers but loved the pita bread. French fries 8/10: yes I ordered French fries and they were delicious. Cooked perfectly and had a great texture. Classic spread 8/10: selected the htipiti, tzatziki and scordalia as our dips and these were so fresh. The tzatziki was my fav. Also served with pita and crackers. I preferred the pita and wish it was served with more because there were three dips. Salmon 9/10: the salmon and the vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly. Salmon was seasoned well and happy they had hot sauce. Yes I eat my salmon with hot sauce. Mocktail 9/10: I can't remember the name but this had nice flavor and was very refreshing. Wish I had ordered two! read more

Avra is a must-try. The food and the ambiance definitely speak for themselves. While our waiter was great, the hostess and our seating rubbed us the wrong way. Let's start with the good : Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious . We started with the Greek salad and the yellowtail jalapeño. The sashimi was divine and the fish melted in your mouth. For entrees, my husband got the big eye tuna and I got the Lavraki. I highly recommend the Lavraki if you enjoy mild fish with a buttery finish . The truffle fries were also yummy. The 'fish market' is a fun experience . What was a bit off putting was the fact that I made a reservation the day prior . We arrived about 3 minutes before our scheduled time and the people in front of us did not have a reservation. The hostess told us she will check us in and to wait a bit while she 'finds us a table' and seated the other party first. In addition, they literally sat us right by the registers and kitchen door so there were constantly employees walking by me and almost bumping into me - just an odd place to seat someone. Overall, this wouldn't stop us from coming back, but definitely made our experience a bit frustrating . read more

Visited Avra again and it did not disappoint. This time we tried their fish from fish market, you get to choose which fish you want and they will guide you on which one suits your palate. I loved their calamari, it was very fresh and delicious. We also tried ice cream for dessert and they do make it in house so it's fresh and never frozen. read more

First I wish I remembered our servers name, he was wonderful. I know he was from Chile :) He took us to the fish market and explained every fish, texture, taste. I picked the Fagri fish. My husband got the tuna and my son ordered the lamb chops. We got truffle fries and were given hummus and pita bread to start. Everything was amazing! We ended with the 16-layer chocolate cake, which was just average. The dining room was beautiful the outside patios are gorgeous and I can't wait for Texas summer nights to get a reservation out there. read more

Came here for a late lunch / brunch at Avra and the vibes were definitely on point. The decor is beautiful; very clean, upscale Mediterranean aesthetic and the house music in the background gave it that lively-but-not-overwhelming energy. It's a great spot to settle in, sip something good, and enjoy the atmosphere. Service was excellent. Attentive without hovering, friendly, and on top of refills and check-ins. That part of the experience absolutely delivered and made the meal more enjoyable. The drinks were a highlight. She had the Santorini Martini; it was refreshing and well-made, though definitely on the sweeter side if that's your preference. I went with the Omega Old Fashioned (a tequila + coffee cocktail), and honestly... that was the standout for me. Smooth, slightly smoky, and unique. I'd go back just for that. Appetizers were hit or miss. The hummus with crudité was really good creamy and flavorful. The yellowtail jalapeño was also solid and nicely balanced. The salmon caviar latkes were okay but leaned a bit bland; they needed something to elevate them. The mains were where things fell short, especially at $30-$50 per plate. The Faroe salmon was pretty flavorless and slightly overcooked. The grilled vegetables alongside it were basic and minimally seasoned. My caviar sandwich was good, but not memorable and at that price point, you expect memorable. Overall, this feels like a great place for drinks and a couple caviar-forward apps. The ambiance and service are strong. But for a full dinner experience, the value just wasn't there for us. I'd come back for cocktails not necessarily for the mains. read more

Our server, Kevin, was 10/10. It's really good service that will set a restaurant apart. The kitchen sent out a Greek salad that was basically just tomatoes, so Kevin had another one sent with no tomatoes so we could combine them. The food was very flavorful and distinctly different from a lot of the restaurants you have in Dallas. Pretty busy night meant the restaurant was noisy, but still had a great ambiance. Will be going back for sure. read more

Avra is Dallas' latest foodie obsession, and after a weekday dinner with a friend, I get why. The service alone is brag-worthy; genuinely some of the most attentive and knowledgeable waiters I've ever had. They're personable in that "instant friend" way, so you actually trust their recs. They specialize in all things seafood, and if you can, walk the fish market in the back. It's a chic touch. Favorites for me were the Greek salad (added salmon) and the spicy tuna sticky rice. Both were perfectly seasoned, and the tuna especially is something I'd come back for over and over. Portions are big (so are the price tags), so tapas-style ordering makes the most sense. The food leans Greek/Mediterranean, and the space is cute, but honestly not as luxe as I expected given it's in the Crescent Court. Think more Sixty Vines or Te Deseo; still good, just different. Heads up: there's a strict hat policy. And if you love people-watching, sit near the bar/hostess stand. If not, that area can feel chaotic since the line tends to spill right into the tables. read more

The service was good though it took forever for me to get a glass of Prosecco when the rest of my party ordered mixed drinks and mocktails and theirs came a long time before mine. No concessions were made for my extra long wait. We enjoyed all the food. The hummus and pita were good, and I was surprised. We sat outside. The tables are close, but it was still nice out and fairly easy to maneuver. For those with purses, they do have a purse tree. The mains were good. We would go back. read more

Loved the vibe and how nice the staff was. Parking was fairly easy with the valet. Once we sat down, we were greeted by Kevin and he gave us an overview of the different types of seafood we can order and how it's prepared. We then were greeted with Pita Chip and Hummus with olives at the table. I had the sea bass which was wonderful. It had such immense flavors that blended well with the carrots and potatoes. My man had the lobster pasta which was so good! I loved how they plated the food especially the lobster pasta because it still had meat inside of the lobster tail and head. Kevin recommended a few drinks for us but all of them were amazing. We opted for the mushrooms as a side and they were cooked so well! And I'm not even a big fan of mushrooms. Definitely will come here again. The restaurant is high end and even for a causal date night, it was great! Will be going again! read more

My colleague and I had the pleasure of visiting this location during a soft open and I must say we thoroughly enjoyed our time there! The ambiance is phenomenal- from the snazzy music to the beautiful interior. The hosts greeted us with extremely warm and welcoming smiles. They have a covered and uncovered patio with excellent lighting. The restaurant is nestled in the Crescent Court which is a great location for the area. The food is exquisite! *Chef's Kiss* We ordered the Jumbo Shrimp, and oh. my. goodness. You MUST try it as an appetizer- pictured below. The crab cake is phenomenal!! Cheesecake is great! Truffle fries are amazing. The Greek salad was literally one of the best salads I've had in a while. The dressing really put it over the top! The drinks were extremely tasty, too. The golden star certainly goes to our server, Christian!! His knowledge of the menu, the timing and attention for his tables, his passion for service-- simply him as a person is a total package. If you're able to request a server, I'd recommend him! This place is a 10/10. I initially wasn't too excited about a Greek restaurant. However, I am SO glad that we came. The food is worth every single penny. Can't wait to return! read more

So my husband and I dined here last night. He was very excited about the opening in Dallas because he's been to one of the locations in New York and thought it fantastic! The Dallas location is located at Crescent Tower....It is very easy to find and parking is easy with valet! The entrance is stunning. You walk through the middle of the patio to get to the front door, which is lined with trees and beautiful pots, definitely keeping the Mediterranean vibe! We were greeted immediately upon entering, checked in for our reservation, and were seated quickly. Once seated, they bring over little triangles of pita bread with a plate of hummus drizzled in olive oil with some roasted red peppers and a few olives.... It is amazing! I started with the Garden of Diomidous cocktail, which I found outstanding! For appetizers, we were intrigued by the Chilean Seabass Souvlaki. This dish was simple but outstanding...it is basically three pieces of Seabass on a skewer with a delicious sauce, drizzled over it and a side salad. For dinner tonight, I had the Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashimi and Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice. I don't know if I can say enough good things about the Yellowtail Sashimi it was better than any I've ever had! The jalapeños are red (yum!) and they add these crispy slivers of seaweed that make the entire dish! Needless to say, I was very happy with my choices. My husband ordered the lamb chops, which is kind of his usual dish, but these he said were amazing. The meals seem to be just that a meal with no side dishes, so we ordered the creamy spinach and oregano fries to complement our meal. By the end of the meal we were stuffed, but of course, we saved just a smidge of room for dessert! Although all the choices sounded fabulous, we opted for the butter cake. To me this dessert was perfection. It wasn't too large for the two of us, and sugar on the outside was nice and sugary and crystallized and the amount of ice cream was perfect along with the caramel sauce. The other observation I had about this restaurant other than that it is stunningly beautiful was that they must have good sound absorption panels hidden somewhere because even though the restaurant was packed we could still hear each other easily. As a former restaurant designer, this is an important detail to me along with lighting, which was also perfect, and of course service, which was impeccable! We cannot wait to return! read more

As a native new yorker, I'm so glad that they opened a location in Avra. It's fancy but OH SO DELICIOUS. The decor transports you to Greece. I started with the tomatini which was good but I would try a dirty martini next time. We were also served complimentary hummus with radishes, pita, and olives. My husband and I shared a greek salad, avra chips, lavraki ceviche, a cooked lavraki filet, tiger prawns, and a side of roasted potatoes. I love that you can see and pick the fish you're going to order. I wouldn't have though to order the tiger prawns until I saw it staring at me (lol). They were huge but very flavorful. The greek salad and avra chips were the stars. The salad is simple and fresh but all the veggies and feta were phenomenal. The avra chips are very addicting. They are very thin and lightly fried but again, very flavorful. Service was excellent as well. I will definitely be back soon. read more

In the mood for Greek, we had a good dining experience, with attentive service, but found the prices high - e.g., $49 for 3 three scallops and $36 for roasted organic chicken.

Avra is sexy and located in the Crescent, and surrounded by glitz and beautiful cars. The inside is fresh and feels lux, but that's where the good impressions end. The hummus (the free starter) is admittedly excellent. It literally took me back to Israel in the first bite. But the other appetizers were anywhere from average to good. I thought the oyster mushrooms were really tasty, but the spinach was just meh. Now onto the fish... The "fish wall" isn't a new idea, and the selection isn't the largest I've seen. What's new is that you not only purchase them whole, but you pay by the pound .Then--get this--the fish is cooked whole first, and then fileted out in the dining room by your table. See a problem with this? Me neither at the start. Until I tasted it... so sad....bland as can be. Somewhat broken up (as it would be, being fileted off of a cooked fish) and flavorless. No butter, seasonings, sauces. What a disappointment, when my expectations were high for a $78.00 per pound fish described by the waiter as the "filet mignon of the sea". Overall, If you DO choose Avra, go with the menu entrees, and don't fall for the fish shtick. ;) read more
