I should have written a review of Avalon a long time ago as we've been going for more than a year. If I had written it with my original experiences I would have found a way to give it 6 stars. Now not so much.
Some things haven't changed. I still like the fun modern decor. The waitstaff are still super friendly and helpful.
The problem is the food. With the previous chef the food was beyond fantastic. My fiancee and I loved it. He is a seriously picky eater and he would even eat the carrots that came with his favorite pan roasted chicken dish. Carrots! You have no idea how hard it is to get him to even look at his vegetables. I loved everything. The Duck, duck goose and the buttered lobster were personal favorites. We were wowed every time.
Then they changed chefs. Don't get me wrong the food is still good. However, it is no longer OMG My mouth is in love! The food is just decent restaurant good. The portions also seem to be somewhat smaller than they used to be. The desserts were now kind of disappointing.
I probably won't be going back not because there is anything really wrong with the place but just because it's disappointing that it is no longer so phenomenally awesome.
I need to find out where the previous chef went and start going to wherever he works now.
