Orlando, FLMediterranean

AVA frames Greek and broader Mediterranean cooking through a polished Park Avenue dining room. The menu is designed for sharing, with spreads, raw seafood, grilled meats, vegetable plates, and wood fired preparations moving across the table. Its lively room and extensive drinks program make it a more celebratory expression of the cuisine than Orlando’s counter service options.

Taverna Opa pairs a full Greek menu with the energetic dining room that has long defined its Pointe Orlando presence. Dips, spanakopita, grilled octopus, souvlaki, lamb, and whole fish give groups plenty to share. Music and tableside entertainment make the experience deliberately festive, while the cooking remains grounded in recognizable Greek tavern dishes.

The Greek Corner is a neighborhood restaurant overlooking Lake Ivanhoe, with a menu spanning mezze, gyros, kebabs, seafood, and baked Greek standards. The patio and casual dining room suit a slower meal, while platters make ordering straightforward for groups. It offers a traditional counterpoint to the newer, design driven Mediterranean rooms around Orlando.

Athena keeps the format compact and practical, centering Greek seasoned roasted chicken with rice, potatoes, salad, pita, and familiar sides. Gyros and combination plates broaden the menu without losing its counter service focus. The Maitland restaurant is especially useful for a quick family meal or takeout that still carries clear Mediterranean flavors.

Theo's Kitchen has served Curry Ford through a direct counter service format and a compact Greek and Syrian menu. Gyros, souvlaki, Greek salad, hummus, grape leaves, and roasted or fried chicken cover both quick sandwiches and fuller plates. The single storefront works like a neighborhood utility, equally practical for a solo lunch, a counter meal, or a family takeout order.
