    I have to say the whole evening was excellent at the Avalon. The staff was friendly and prompt. The food was delicious and very well prepared, we had the chefs specials and they were all impeccable. The ambiance was nice and the entertainer was very good. We definitely will come back to the Avalon on our next trip to Miami.

    This has been one of my favorite restaurants for many years so I was excited to take my significant other here for Valentine’s Day dinner. We were really disappointed with the service we received however which really put a damper on our experience. We were seated pretty quickly however we waited for 20+ mins then had a stop someone to ask if we could at least place an order for a drink. After the drinks finally came, it was another 30 mins before anyone even stopped at the table. We asked for bread because it was nearly an hour after sitting and we were starving. We placed our entire pre-fix menu order so we wouldn’t be waiting forever but it took about 1.5 hours just to get our appetizers. My favorite has always been the Tarragon Twin Lobster tails but own meals were just average at best. The green beans were loaded with salt and were barely edible. The mashed potatoes were under seasoned. It was so disappointing because I really do love this place. Honestly it seemed understaffed for the number of reservations.
    A Fish Called AvalonResponded on February 20, 2025
    Dear Dr. Sasha, Thank you for being a loyal and valued customer and for joining us on Valentine's Evening. We truly appreciate you taking our call and allowing us to apologize for the experience you encountered. As you know, it does not reflect the pride we take in providing exceptional and memorable dining. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and having the opportunity to provide you with the outstanding experience you deserve. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything we can do to make your future visits even more enjoyable. Warm regards from all of us at A Fish Called Avalon.
