The Dallas outpost of Avra, the Greek seafood house founded in 2000 in Manhattan by Nick Tsoulos and Nick Pashalis, opened in September 2025 at The Crescent in Uptown — a roughly 14,000-square-foot Rockwell Group room of natural stone, linen, 300-year-old planters imported from Greece, and a glass-walled conservatory. The format is taverna-by-way-of-NYC: an iced display of whole fish (branzino, red snapper, wild Dover sole, and rarer catches like fagri) priced by the pound and grilled over charcoal with Ladolemono, plus the signature paper-thin Avra chips of fried zucchini and eggplant. D Magazine's Brian Reinhart found the kitchen uneven but the seafood genuinely strong. Come for the fish counter and the theater of the room.
