About AVA MediterrAegean Coconut Grove

AVA MediterrAegean brings a lively take on Greek and Mediterranean cooking to the historic Peacock Garden in Coconut Grove. The menu leans on fresh seafood, like the widely praised whole branzino, alongside truffle pizza, sea bass carpaccio, Greek spreads, and a chocolate souffle that regulars order every visit.

The dining room pairs an elegant, plant-filled interior with an outdoor terrace, and the mood shifts from relaxed dinner conversation early in the evening to a louder, DJ-driven scene after 9pm on weekends. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 11:30am to 3pm with a prix-fixe menu.

Expect fine-dining prices and polished service from a team that guests repeatedly single out by name in reviews. Housed within the Arya Hotel and Suites, AVA works for a celebratory night out, a weekend brunch with friends, or a quieter early dinner before the Saturday crowd builds.

It's become one of the Grove's most talked-about tables for both longtime Miami locals and visitors staying nearby.
