    Great food and service. The patio was very nice. Spacious and clean. Walking distance to everything. We caught a musical afterwards as well.

    I went here to take my colleague out to lunch during the week. Avra has a great prix fixe lunch menu during the week. For my first course I got the spreads assortment which comes with tzatziki, tarama, fava and htipiti, as well as pita bread. All the spreads were delicious! For my main course I got the lamb chops, which came with potatoes and asparagus. These lamb chops were packed with flavor and cooked beautifully. For dessert, our waiter was nice enough to give me both the small fruit plate AND the strawberry cheesecake (I had been trying to decide between the two). I was so surprised to get both, but glad I did because the strawberry cheesecake was the best I've ever had. Aside from the food and great service, the ambiance is perfect for a work lunch or dinner, date night, or a celebration event.

    Stopped by for lunch when I was in the area. I've been here before but for dinners. Staff was friendly as ever and very attentive. Grabbed their lunch prix-fixe. The salmon tartare wasn't overly seasoned and just tasted very fresh. Branzino was the star it usually is. And the Sauvignon blanc tied it all together.

    Dear fellow foodies... don't skip the grilled octopus! My husband and I culminated our date night with dinner at Avra Rockefeller Center and they did not disappoint. The restaurant is gorgeous and spacious. Despite being full to capacity, the ambience remained cosy and non-intrusive. The service was impeccable and timely and the food was delicious.

    I had a great late lunch here with coworkers! They gave us hummus and pita and brought out a separate hummus and crudités for my gluten free coworker! For a drink I had the Santorini Martini which was refreshing! We all ordered the well-priced prix fixe menu ($40) but had some additions. I had the tuna tartare (10/10) and tried the spicy crispy rice (7/10 I've had better). For the main I got the pacific swordfish (10/10 it was so juicy and the potatoes were great even though they weren't crispy like I typically like) Then for dessert I had the orange cake (10/10) I'd absolutely come back!

    Baklava

    I had a fresh Bronzino that was so incredibly flaky and delicious... But not nearly as flaky and delicious as this baklava. Probably one of the best that I've ever had and I've been to Greece. Great overall atmosphere for anywhere from a date night to a business meeting... I personally was there for a business lunch and got the three course meal. Great value our our staff overall was accommodating, swift and communicative.

    Avra opened in 2000 on East 48th Street in Midtown East serving Greek coastal seafood. They now have four locations in NYC. It's my mom's favorite. She'll come into the city anytime we book here. We always start with the Avra chips. Can't recommend enough. It was my second time having the Hawaiian Big Eye Tuna and it was excellent again. The space is gorgeous, service is amazing, and the vibe is lively and elegant.

    Good food. Nice decor. Attentive staff. Great location. Enjoyed the complimentary humus with pita.

    Tuna tartare

    I just love dining at Avra! I've been to multiple locations on both coasts so I know what to expect when coming in! I wanted a nice lunch after a massage one day and made a quick reservation on open table. We were seated quickly and the space is expansive, and gorgeous! It did take a while to get menus, unfortunately. For my drink I started out with a non alcoholic mocktail called the hibiscus of Adonis. They could have brought me a whole pitcher of it because it was so good! I opted for the 3 course pri fixed menu and started with the tuna tartare which was just so fresh and full of flavor. I had the steak which was cooked a perfect medium. Finished off my meal with the baklava. Just melted in my mouth. This location is central to me so I'll definitely be back. If, for nothing else but the hibiscus of Adonis!

    A quick lunch here turned into an entire afternoon at this place. Fabulous! The aesthetic of this place is truly beautiful. The staff is attentive and everything is Prestine. It's the epitome of living here in Manhattan! I was not disappointed at all. As usual I enjoyed them accepting my pup with open arms. I want to stress that he is a service dog and always remains in his bag. Everything we ordered was so fresh I felt like they had a farm in their kitchen. We received our orders with good timing and we never felt like we were waiting for someone to attend us. All of the recommendations we had turned out spectacular. My favorite was for sure the in-house ice cream. Our waiter James needs a shout out! He was freaking awesome. He explained the menu very well and was always a step ahead of us. Attentive and the type of person every restaurant needs. Cannot wait to be back here and if you're in the area I give this a 10/10.

    We loved all their other locations in the city and so had to try their Rockefeller location as well. Went for a weekend lunch and happy to say it was another great experience. Service is very friendly and professional with our waiter never being far away. We all ordered the lunch prie fix and everything was very good. This included the swordfish, branzino, lobster pasta, spreads/dips, calamari, among others. Really rich flavors across the board. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed with high ceilings and large windows centers very close to some of the big midtown tourist locations. Strongly recommended!

    Spanikopida appetizer. Lovely.

    This is an annual must stop place for me. Outstanding, welcoming service. Beautiful menu with everything I love. Waiter asked about dietary restrictions first thing. This lunch I had an Israeli salad with Salmon. Yum.

    Lobster pasta lunch special
    Amanda D.

    Ten out of ten for taste, freshness, service and ambiance. It's right in the center of Rockefeller center! The place is very clean. Everything I've tried on the menu is delicious. Their lunch specials, which end at 4:30 PM daily are hearty, fresh, DELICIOUS, and top notch. waiter Johnny I had last time was a gem. Their flowers always fresh. The views from this restaurant are the best in town on both the first and second floor.

    Do they have a brunch menu?

    They have an "All Day Menu" and a "Lunch Menu" that also offers a "Three-Course Prix Fixe" from 11:30 am - 4 pm Daily. Hope this helps.

    Is Avra very pricey?

As with all locations the Boba is the star. The strawberry Boba has a nice sweet chew that had great texture and bounce.

I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety!

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
