Zavō Mediterranean Restaurant (CLOSED)

Talk about dinner and a show: This restaurant on the Upper East Side pairs upscale Mediterranean dishes with live entertainment from aerialists, acrobats and musicians. Every Saturday evening, ZAVO rotates exclusive shows including Venetian Night, 1001 Nights and 50 Shades of ZAVO. Start your evening with a glass, bottle or magnum of wine: Zavō offers a wide selection of vintages from its wine cellar. If you want the full show experience, dine upstairs and order from the three-course prix-fixe menu. Start with appetizers like charred octopus with black garlic aioli, quinoa-lobster salad, burrata with heirloom tomatoes and basil oil and filet mignon tartare with cured egg yolk. Entrees include Prince Edward Island mussels steamed in garlic and white wine, black sea bass with zucchini and yellow squash and braised short ribs with burgundy wine jus. Sweet bites such as apple-pistachio baklava, passion fruit tart and dark chocolate cake finish the meal.
