"One of the few upscale Greek restaurants in Los Angeles, Avra takes a page from the standard that Milos set years ago, offering pristine grilled seafood and breezy starters like fried eggplant slices to a see-and-be-seen crowd in the heart of Beverly Hills. The servers will come around with offers of pricey whole fish, and while they are terrific when someone else is paying, the best reason to come here for lunch is for the reasonably-priced three-course lunch for $38 that comes with choices like spanakopita, Greek salad, and grilled swordfish. You should order the baklava for dessert." - Matthew Kang
