I complained about the small portions of food we were served to the owner of Avalon. She replied that; "Myself and chef spent a combined 11 years training under the chef considered "the father of California cuisine." California Cuisine is becoming associated with not only fresh cooking, but with very tiny portions for extremely high prices. It appears that the... more

The menu is eclectic and spans everything... more

the food is delicious, the service is great and they use high quality ingredients and they care about every dish that comes to the table. Don't hesitate to try it, whether you want a perfect hamburger and french fries, or a perfect steak, or a perfectly cooked piece of salmon more
