This is the first time we've been to Avalon since it changed hands and the review is overall good, but a few things to add on the constructive side.
First, they used to have gorgonzola mashed potatoes that were to die for and they don't have anything in the potato side dish that is very good. (didn't care for the apply gratin potatoes and the fries are just so-so). Please add a mashed or baked potato of some sort back to the menu!!!
Second, the burger I ordered medium rare came very well done. It was so dry and overdone.......very disappointing..... the bun however, was delicious!!
Other things we thought made the dinner fabulous: exceptional crab cakes, delicous ribeye (temperature was perfect on this one), and good short ribs.
Desserts: YUMMMM.... a lemon rasberry cake w/ creme fresh ice cream. The ice cream was goooooooood and the cake delish!! The other dessert was a warm brownie, marshmallow, and mint ice cream. The brownie was heavenly!!
It's also worth noting that the service was excellent! We'll give them another try and hopefully the temperature of the burger will be correct next time. :-)
Atmosphere: 5 STARS! FANTASTIC decor and seating.
