    Valentine dinner. But the staff was upbeat and the food hot, fresh and delicious. Out server Zooey was attentive and welcoming without hovering. We have eaten at all the restaurants in the group. We found our favorite.

    Food was delicious! Service was excellent and even though we were there for Valentines Day, we were not rushed at all.

    The food, atmosphere, and our service was impeccable. We are huge fans of all of their restaurants and decided to try this out. So thankful we did! Our waiter, Erol, was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. We will definitely be back because there were so many other things on the menu that we wanted to try!

    Il Posto is one of our favorite places in Avalon. The flounder special was absolutely fabulous. The portions are huge. We are so happy that Il Posto is open during the off season.

    Do not go for New Years Eve! This is usually my favorite restaurant in Avalon so we booked for NYE. No one mentioned it was a prix fixe menu for $85 a person. Nothing special on the menu just $50 more expensive and less options than the food usually there. Also staff was unpleasant and seating jammed in for the crowd. Food was good but no reason for it to be more than double the price.

    New Year's Eve, so the restaurant was crowded, our reservation for 4 @ 7:15, we were seated as reserved. Waitress introduced herself and helped with wine opening, provided menu. Fixed price @ $85. Reasonable number of selections to select starter, entree, and desert. We placed our order, no water or bread? Our starters came out and I asked the runner if he could bring some bread which he did promptly. Took a while to get someone's attention for water for the table. By then, we were just about finished our starters; caesar salad, burrata, bisque and crabmeat cocktail which were good/average, nothing special. Entrees were out quickly there after: bronzino over pasta (2), lobster ravioli and braised short rib. Pasta that came with the Bronzino was scarce, way too much lemon in the pasta sauce, braised rib and mashed potatoes were very good but served with tasteless carrot/broccoli side dish, lobster raviolo was good, overloaded with sauce. For desert, they were out of creme brulle, key lime pie different than expected but OK, limoncello cake was good. Overall, having to ask for water and bread is substandard even on a busy night, dishes were just OK, not great for $85 a head. Much better experience with the Modo Mia in Sea Isle, won't be back to Avalon
