Avra Madison scaled the Greek taverna to Upper East Side proportions: a soaring whitewashed room off Madison Avenue where the ice display glitters with imported Mediterranean fish and the lunch crowd includes a measurable percentage of the city's dealmakers.
Whole grilled branzino and dover sole are the signatures, preceded ideally by the trio of spreads and grilled octopus. Prices are set to match the zip code — fish is sold by the pound, so ask before committing to the largest catch. Handsome, loud, and reliably excellent, it's the Greek dinner for when the occasion calls for polish.
