All excelent and me and family enjoy alot higth recomendable..food fresh especial the seafood,

Great Mediterranean seafood restaurant! The steak I had was so good! Seasoned amazingly and cooked to perfection just how I ordered it! The calamari was honestly the highlight of the entire night for me and I highly recommend to anyone coming here to order it. Service here was amazing, the gentleman that was serving us was very polite and patient and took care of us the entire night, he also went out of his way to describe each and every fish that they had on the market that night! The ambiance here is very fancy and upscale, so definitely wear your nicest outfit coming here! read more

The food was good, but not out of this world. Among five of us, we ordered around 10 dishes, and the only one that was definitely not good was the tuna tartare, which was overly fishy. Everything else was enjoyable, and the service was pretty good overall. Where Avra loses me is the atmosphere and overall experience. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what's off, but between the sheer size of the space and the lack of character in some of the design choices, it feels more like a restaurant inside a large Orlando resort than a luxury Miami dining experience. Some of the details are surprisingly out of place. There's handwritten-style signage across mirrored surfaces that feels more Jersey boardwalk than high-end restaurant, and near the bar, similar signage is printed on black poster-like material. They're small things, but at this price point and in a property of this caliber, those details really stand out. The biggest friction point came at the very end: valet. After a $100-$200+ per person meal, leaving should be seamless. Instead, valet doesn't accept cash, and paying digitally required entering personal and credit card information rather than simply offering Apple Pay or another easy payment option. It's a strangely cumbersome final touchpoint for an experience that should have virtually no friction. Overall, the food is good and we enjoyed our meal, but I don't think the experience quite lives up to the setting or price point. If you're staying at Acqualina, Avra is certainly convenient and worth trying. But if you're not staying at the resort and are simply looking for a great seafood-focused dining experience in Miami, I'd choose MILA instead. read more

Looking a for a cute and chic spot to come for dinner , Avra was the place for a romantic dinner or a family dinner . Amazing Greek food and the best thing was the hummus and the salmon tartar it's a must try ! Service was great , a little bit of a wait time with a reservation but for a Friday it's expected ! read more

Service was substandard for such an expensive restaurant. The server was from Paris and had no table side personality, she never said Yw when we said Ty and was annoyed when we said we don't drink . The lobster pasta was $88 and they said the lobster weighed 1.5lbs but no way this was correct. The entire meal service fell short . Expensive is ok if you have value . My birthday dinner was a Washout. read more

An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! The ambiance and energy of the restaurant are stunning, and the food was utterly delicious. Everyone on the team was friendly and attentive, but we want to give a special shout-out to Akira. His service was truly exceptional--attentive, detailed, and extremely knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Thank you for making our evening so memorable. Highly recommended! read more

Beautiful restaurant with a bright, airy vibe and an impressive seafood display when you walk in. We came here at around 6pm on a week day for a corporate dinner. We tried the Avra chips (crispy zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki) and grilled octopus to start and both were excellent. The whole branzino was super fresh and perfectly cooked, and the lobster pasta was rich and flavorful. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at times, and prices are definitely on the high end. Still, for a special night out with great Mediterranean seafood flavors, Avra is worth it. read more

I went to Avra to celebrate my birthday and it was truly a wonderful experience. The service was spectacular. All the servers and staff were friendly and super attentive the entire time. We ordered from the Miami Spice menu which was delicious. I had the salmon tartare, branzino and olive oil cake, super delicious! They even brought me a separate cheesecake for my birthday. Looking forward to going back again soon! read more

My meal here was great! Food was fresh and delish! The waiter took us to the fish market to look at all the options and when you order they even bring the selected fish to the table prior to cooking for your review. The hummus is a great freebie and you can ask for more! Hostess staff is not nice though. Beautiful restaurant inside but bummed that there was no good view of ocean since it's located on the beach. read more

Avra is a beautifully curated restaurant. Ambiance is lux and peaceful. Located next to the Aquafina. You feel as you've stepped into a Mediterranean wonderland. I've had the pleasure of also going to the one in Beverly Hills. This location has beach views which are breath taking. Lovely service with a decadent menu. A must when you're in Sunny Isles! read more

The food is good, the ambiance beautiful, but the service leaves a bit to be desired. Our server was very grouchy and kept trying to push us toward more expensive items, more expensive wine and even switched an app to a much more expensive entree. I called the manager the day after when I took a closer look at the bill and she was able to adjust for the sneaky upcharges. Took forever to get our wine. The food was delicious, everything from the zucchini and eggplant chips to the fish, but the prices are a bit outrageous. You're paying for the location after all. I did not like the baklava for dessert, it was tough as a rock (not soft and flaky like it should be) and did not taste like any baklava I've ever had. All in all, we probably would have had a much nicer experience here if it hadn't been for our unpleasant waiter. It was three of us (elegantly dressed middle aged ladies celebrating our friend's 50th birthday) and he single handedly ruined the mood and the evening for us. What a shame. read more

Avra Miami is a very beautiful restaurant, with immaculate service and great food. We had dinner there last night and everything was great, from the zucchini chips, to the Greek salad, and the really great grilled branzino. We had a much better experience at Avra Miami than Avra Beverly Hills, that's for sure. The restaurant is located in the new Acqualina Residences on the Beach tower, and it was a great experience all around. read more

AVRA's relatively new Miami location maintains the quality and consistency of its NYC predecessors. The space is gorgeous and classy. It lends itself well to date night and family dinners alike with a mix of cozy round booths on the perimeter and longer central tables. The service is intuitive and friendly. Almost everything on the menu is delicious and crave-able. There is a huge selection of fish and seafood which can be prepared by virtually any method you desire. My favorite appetizers are the Avra chips and octopus. No visit is complete without the chopped green salad. The hamachi and salmon crudo were good but the portion was small - skip this unless you're craving sashimi. For mains the Branzino is a go to. The lamb chops are also great quality and well prepared. This time I tried the Carabineros (scarlet prawns) and it's safe to say I will be ordering these sweet and tender shrimp again. I have to give a bid to the cocktails as well as they were expertly mixed. Finally, I'm not actually a huge fan of most of the dessert options, but the olive oil cake is moist and the sweetness is just right. The chocolate and pistachio ice creams were also excellent - they are not your typical ice cream parlor flavors. Overall, AVRA Miami serves up a consistently great experience in a beautiful and upscale setting making it a staple for a nice dinner out. read more

* One of the most beautiful restaurants in South Florida * Elegant interior, pool and beach views from the outdoor patio * High end Fine Dining- Refined Greek Cuisine * Figure $100-200 per person depending on beverages * The focus is on fresh seafood * Reservations a MUST in season and weekends * Valet only parking $15+ * Ask for Omar or Marcos for extra special service Millions of dollars were spent to build this 10,000 square foot showcase restaurant at Acqualina on the Ocean in Sunny Isles Beach. The team at Avra has had great success for years with three popular restaurants in New York City and one in Beverly Hills. Since there are no prices on the online menus plan on spending $30-$50 for appetizers, $40-70 for entrees, $18 for cocktails and about three times retail for wine from their 17 page old world focused wine list. There are about 16 wine choices by the glass rating from $14-45, but nothing very inspiring for oenophiles. This is a place to come for fresh seafood. Non seafood eaters can find some great lamb chops, steak, vegetables and salads, but this is really about the freshest fish flown in from around the world and on display for you. There is an extensive choice of tartares, sashimi and ceviche, outstanding grilled octopus, crab cake, lobster cocktail, caviar. You can select a whole fish from the attractive display and have it prepared grilled, sautéed or even made into sashimi for an extra $25. Make sure to try the lemon sauce. How does it compare to Milos? Avra is more elegant with the views that Milos does not have. Milos is slightly better on the food. The Avra zucchini and eggplant chips are ok, but don't compare to the ultra thin ephemeral chips of Milos. Wine collectors can bring a wine here for $75 per bottle, Milos bans outside wine. Desserts are nothing special, try the luxurious Greek yoghurt. read more

Natalie was FANTASTIC and so knowledgeable. We had a couple allergies at our table, both gluten and pork, and she made sure we were taken care of. Absolutely no complaints. To start, my sister and I split the octopus which was so flavorful. We also ordered the salmon sashimi and my goodness was it fresh!! Also, you can't go wrong with their truffle fries. My dad got the shrimp and with no exaggeration it was the best I've ever tasted. I'm still thinking about it. My brother did the Miami Spice menu and he ordered the octopus, the lobster pasta, and the olive oil cake. Let's just say he was very pleased. To add, my little sister got the lamb chops and it was cooked to perfection. My sister got the Greek yogurt dessert and I tried the cheesecake. Sooo yummy!! Might I add - the drinks were delicious. I requested the driest cab they had and it was super light and just what I was craving. My sisters both ordered spicy margaritas, my brother got a woodford old fashioned, and my dad got an espresso martini. The ambiance was spectacular and the service was impeccable all around. You won't regret dining here. read more

Although we had reservations we still had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Let me tell you, it was worth it. The food was excellent and once seated the service impeccable. The atmosphere is very vibrant and very "Miami". Not cheap but worth it. read more

Upscale Mediterranean dining in a beautiful coastal setting, Avra brings traditional Greek/Turkish cuisine and culture to Miami. From its decorative domes outside to its bougainvillea covered marble pillars inside, the staff has every detail in place to make the patrons feel pampered. We had a large group for a business dinner, and our server Akira did a wonderful job of making suggestions, timing courses and advising us on what to order. And the food is absolutely spectacular! We sampled nearly all of the appetizers, I think my favorites are the Israeli salad and octopus. While the lamb chops are tender and delicious, I love the selection of fresh fish! The baklava is incredible, as are all of the desserts, so pace yourself! read more

Delicious fresh fish and in general a wonderful Mediterranean vibe in this place. But the people who work here are what makes it special. Truly great recommendations and service. And if you are here on a weekend and can sit outside, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Atlantic. read more

Avra is inside Aqualina Estates, so we went around once. Parking is valet only. We went on a Tuesday evening. My friend had spoken to the manager previously to accommodate 8 people for the Miami Spice menu since usually is up to 6 people , so we were seated in a nice rectangular table. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. My branzino was cooked perfectly. My friends especially liked the grilled octopus and lobster pasta . read more

Great date night spot! Tried their Miami spice menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was also spot on ( a rarity for Miami). I mentioned in my reservation that I was celebrating a special event and also pregnant but did not call to remind the restaurant the day off. To my Surprise they actually had it noted and offered mocktail selections Upon arrival and brought out a celebratory cake at the end of the meal. There are so many times I have made notes in a reservation and even reminded them upon arrival just for them to forget, so I was really impressed by this. The beautiful ambiance and lobster pasta were also key in making this a 5 star experience. The only improvements would be cheaper parking options. It's a pretty expensive restaurant so having to pay an additional $15 to support their venue seems a bit much. read more

On a date with my bestie, this is without an ounce of doubt, the best choice for a Miami Spice date, and we mutually agreed on this. She trusts me with restaurant choices but I might've outdone myself with this one because it's one for the books. Gorgeous lobby and bar area when you walk in, this is located at the Acqualina Resort and Residences in Sunny Isles area. It screams luxury and opulence and the crowd will show this even more because dress code here is "put on your best dress or suit" if you will. We had to wait a few minutes for our table so bestie and I waited at the stunning bar area and ordered the Avra Old Fashioned and Mykonos Greece. She did enjoy her cocktail for it was, according to her, very sweet and refreshing but definitely packing a punch because she's a lightweight when it comes to drinking and this cocktail had her feeling "woozy" and whatnot. My old fashioned, unfortunately, was not as good as most I've had although it was pretty strong. Maybe something was missing on the recipe but for $24 I'd have expected a perfectly mixed cocktail. After waiting a short 15 minutes for the table we were called to be seated and we were so fortunate to have Stella as our waitress because talk about the most cordial, warm and welcoming waitress I've interacted with this year. She was a breath of fresh air and made us feel like more than just patrons. Now let's break down what we had for Miami Spice options, shall we? Actually before I get into that, they brought us bread and the option was this "to die for" hummus like no other hummus I've ever tasted, anywhere. I usually skip the bread and butter part but this hummus was forget licking good so please do indulge on this complimentary treat. Anyways, back to regular critiquing... GRILLED OCTOPUS: for a $12 extra charge you get to taste one of the best octopus dishes in town. Sitting on onions, capers and bell peppers, this is one tender, flavorsome, perfectly cooked piece of jumbo octopus and that red wine vinaigrette sauce is the ideal side kick. My bestie was craving octopus and I told her this would most likely be, one of the best we'd both get to taste and after minutes of awe and mmms enjoying this delicacy, we both agreed with just a nod. GRILLED FAROE ISLAND SALMON: this was her main entree option, her being a salmon girl and all, cooked well done but just right. Imagine crispy on the outside but juicy and tender on the inside, again perfectly cooked just like the octopus. A few tasty veggies in the side, this dish also had her quiet for a while which is good testimony to the flawless cooking that's happening back there in the kitchen. LOBSTER PASTA: this is not by any means, your ordinary pasta dish, this was "heavenly" to say the least. For a $23 add'l charge you get wallow in this decadent and uniquely executed dish. Presentation wise 10/10. Head of lobsta on one end and tail on the other, with superbly cooked "Al dente" linguini on a rich tomato sauce sitting in the center of the dish. Now the portion for this dish is unlike most restaurants where "skimping" is the usual. I almost didn't finish the whole thing because of how much pasta was served. Maine lobster was fresh, tender and I didn't have to dig deep to find pieces of meat, they were very generous with the protein as well. This is one of those dishes that will bring you back many times over. STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE: yes one of the most decadent cheesecakes I've tried, the strawberry gelatin on the side made it perfect. Beautiful presentation, the dish looked like a tiny piece of art exhibit. OLIVE OIL CAKE: like no other cake I've tried here or overseas, it is uniquely delicious and moist. I'd have to say the flavor that stands out more so than the olive oil is the lemon chantilly but together it translates into the absolute best duo. This is the one dessert I'd be craving on next visit although Stella did mention a one of a kind orange cake so we shall try and then compare the two. Ambiance and vibes at this fine dining establishment are what you would expect and nothing less. Again, service both at the bar, host and waitstaff is top notch. There's a valet when you arrive so there's no street parking because condo is on the east/ocean side of Collins but it's only $17 plus tip so isn't too bad and very convenient. My bestie and I left with full tummies and raving about our dining experience so needless to say, we are coming back....until next time folks. read more

64th birthday - we drove down from Boca Raton today for an overnight & dinner. Sunday evening. 8:15 reservations What a treat for our first time here! Stunning vibrant space. Consider yourself fortunate if Simone is your server. Extremely knowledgeable, kind & made great recommendations- we went with the "Miami spice" menu with a couple upgrades. So kind- I received the olive oil cake as a birthday treat complete with a single candle & singing. We loved our experience & highly recommend! read more

We reserved outdoor seating, beachfront, through AMEX's resy app. When we got there we were taken to an indoor table. I told the waitress that we had reserved outdoor seating and she said that it's just a request and it's not guaranteed. The food and service were alright but nothing to overcome the initial letdown. Don't give people a choice to sit outside and then not deliver, some of us would prefer to go have burgers so long as the seating is oceanfront. It's important people!!! read more

My friend and I went to Avra on Friday evening without a reservation and had no problem with seating. Everything we ordered was delicious! We got the grilled calamari, salmon tartare, Greek salad & the Chilean seabass. It was more than enough food for the two of us portion wise. We also each had a skinny margarita and a glass of Sancerre. The service was very attentive and hospitable and the restaurant itself is beautiful! Highly recommend avra. read more

Beautiful restaurant on the water, with great service. The food was good, not amazing, but the ambiance made up for it.

If you're looking for a wow factor this is the place. Now get ready as it's priced accordingly but the service, fresh fish selection is the best we've ever experience. Bar none. This is an experience and not just a meal. They take their time and let you enjoy every minute of it and their servers make you feel like you are their only table. read more

At Avra, you're in for a delightful journey into traditional Greek cuisine. What truly sets them apart is their wide selection of fresh fish and diverse cooking methods, consistently delivering exceptional flavors. A special mention goes to the Portuguese sardines; they tend to fly off the menu, so grab them if available - you won't regret it. The caviar and oysters are simply exquisite, and they offer a well-curated selection of wines and cocktails. While the lobster pasta sounded promising, it didn't quite live up to expectations; it was nothing special. Now, let's talk dessert - Avra's cheesecake is, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. What truly elevates the Avra experience is its ambiance; the restaurant's space is thoughtfully designed to create the perfect dining atmosphere. Whether you choose to enjoy the sunset outdoors or opt for an indoor setting for a later dinner, Avra ensures a memorable dining experience. #bubblytip: If dining around the sunset timeframe, try to get seated outdoors -- you won't regret it read more

Beautiful restaurant at the Acqualina Estates. Also a great crowd. We ordered the: 1) Greek Salad - simple but delicious for a starter. 2) AVRA Eggplant and Zucchini Chips - comes with tzaziki. Nice portion, great for sharing. 3) Branzino for 3 - mild, flaky, cooked very well. 4) Lamb chops - delicious, large but pricey. 5) The spanakorizo & grilled vegetables side. 7) Baklava - comes with vanilla ice cream and pistachios. So good! The service was good, can't complain! Nice waiter, bussers were attentive and food came quickly. read more
