How has this place not garnered much attention? I'm thinking the location may be a culprit. This is an old-town-esque restaurant that ended up on the other side of the tracks. I met a friend for Sunday brunch and was surprised to arrive in an empty restaurant.
I'll begin by complimenting the jovial and attentive staff. They could not have been any friendlier or competent. Our server always seemed to be an earshot away, and this place is anything but quaint. Maybe it would have been different had the dining room been more crowded.
I ordered the frittata, which was prepared with farm-fresh vegetables and served with perfectly-roasted and spiced potatoes. My friend ordered a cobb salad that looked amazing, and he was impressed by the spices they added to some of the ingredients. I was also impressed by the coffee they served, which was obviously freshly-ground and just brewed.
The atmosphere is ultra-modern and could pass for a West Elm showroom, though obviously more high-end. 5 stars for my brunch at Avalon.
