⭐️WOW! What a gem….a friend raved about it so my partner and I went last night. We’re in from Los Angeles. All the staff were kind, professional and knowledgeable about all the things we were interested in. My boyfriend had the best, macadamian crusted snapper with spinach risotto, which I tasted and loved. We shared a yummy wedge salad! Great bread and and key lime pie, all delicious. The atmosphere and ambiance was stunning ( and romantic) as we listened to live music and looked at the beautiful view of the beach and people watched. We will definitely come back ! One of the best dinners ever! ⭐️
We didn’t come to Miami Beach for fun in the sun. We were there because of a family emergency and ended up staying for 10 nights out of which 6 nights were at the Avalon The staff embraced us like family. They were genuinely concerned about our situation, offered prayers, and provided comfort during a very difficult time. From the owner, Michelle, to the staff members Alejandro, Rosario, Vargas, Camille, and Julio, we always felt safe, supported, and cared for. My husband had to leave before I did, but he felt completely at ease knowing I was in good hands. They truly watched over me. The people at Avalon are amazing. The hotel is wonderful and the food is excellent!!!! I can’t even pick a favorite dish as they were all delightful. The escargot, oysters, and octopus were our favorite appetizers. The twin lobster dinner and the macadamia encrusted snapper were phenomenal. Hands down best Eggs Benedict!! We will never forget the kindness and compassion they showed us ( and the full bellies)
Really good restaurant. We came for an earlier dinner and happy hour. We felt the happy hour menu had better appetizer offerings than the normal menu. From the happy hour menu we got spanakopita, mussels, and shrimp tacos. HH drinks got the twisted lychee and MARACUYĂ. The drinks were a little too sweet for my liking but good offerings. The HH plates were very good especially the shrimp tacos and mussels. We got extra bread to eat up all the sauce. From the full menu we got the bang bang shrimp (not the best for the price) and entree we got the braised black grouper and macadamia crusted snapper which were both really good. Definitely recommend the HH for appetizers and drinks and then get entrees. The Live music also enhanced the vibe and experience
Do not hesitate enjoy an evening at A Fish Called Avalon in Miami at South Beach! This place was recommended to me by a great friend and now we are besties! From the minute we were greeted we knew it was going to be a wonderful experience and we were right! The food, service and atmosphere were incredible!
We had an amazing dinner here! We tried the chowder soup, salmon, lobster tail, and snapper. Every dish was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The key lime pie was the standout of the night: absolutely surreal and one of the best I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the live music added a really pleasant touch without being overwhelming. Overall, a fantastic seafood experience, highly recommended!
