We love to amaze our guests by pairing classic seafood fare with an infusion of our own signature Mediterranean style. Our master chefs continually inspire as they skillfully blend traditional seafood specialties with both classic and modern Greek elements.
Our dinners are specially designed to introduce a fresh, classic way of sharing special moments with family and friends. To accomplish this, we encourage our guests to dine in Greek Taverna style, where they soon discover that spending time together is as much about sharing fantastic dishes as it is about appreciating each other's company.
We provide the perfect setting to taste the best of Orlando seafood. Our intimate atmosphere allows our guests to reconnect with family and friends and savor extraordinarily delicious fare, rich with intriguing flavors, textures, and aromas. We're convinced our guests will thoroughly enjoy each of our innovative recipes.
Our Ingredients
To prepare our authentic Greek and Aegean Sea seafood specialties, our chefs work closely with suppliers who operate throughout Greece and the adjoining Cycladic islands. The generous assortment of fresh herbs, aromatic spices, authentic olive oils, and other ingredients our chefs use in preparing their culinary creations is sourced from highly reputable suppliers. Many of our guests return again and again because they know we are committed to incorporating only the highest-quality food in every recipe we create.
Seafood Options
Our Signature Mezze Platters
Our seafood dinners typically begin with a series of appetizers served on classic Greek mezze-style platters. Many of our guests rave about specialties like our English Pea Falafel, featuring Romanesco cauliflower, toum, and dill, as well as our beautifully seasoned Keftedes Meatballs, skillfully blended with fresh herbs, lemon, and tzatziki sauce. Other favorites include Sweet & Sour Eggplant with tahini yogurt, pine nuts, and mint, and our Potato Millefeuille — a compelling dish composed of our velvety homemade lemon dill crème fraîche, served with a choice of vegan or Sterling Supreme caviar.
Our Aegean-Inspired Seafood
The marriage between the finest cooking techniques from the Mediterranean region and the highest-quality seafood available forms the foundation of AVA's Thalassa menu. Guests can choose from mouth-watering options such as Athenian Whole Lobster Pasta — a magnificent blend of fresh linguini, bisque, heirloom baby tomatoes, and fresh basil — or a hand-selected Sea Bream or Branzino fish, fresh from the Mediterranean Sea.
Other favorites include our New Caledonia Blue Prawn, accompanied by traditional toum garlic sauce and lightly dusted with fragrant paprika. For a special evening, many of our guests love to indulge in our Seafood Tower. This seafood masterpiece includes East and West Coast oysters, Tuna Tartare, Oishii shrimp, and Sea Bream ceviche. Undoubtedly, this special dish provides our guests with the perfect opportunity to satisfy all their cravings for seafood.

In addition to offering some of the most appetizing seafood in the Orlando area, our chefs also like to display their culinary skills every weekend by presenting a brunch masterpiece brimming with enticing Mediterranean-inspired foods and cocktails.
