Avalon Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

Not a cheap dinner but the decor and service are 100% worth it. We tried a couple of cocktails which were delicious and went with an entree and main each. The meals were large and very edible. We were so full after our food we had no space for dessert but it seemed like desserts were popular. Will definitely be back.

A really interesting spot with quirky decor. A bit of a weird vibe, with a much older crowd (average age was around 60) and live music from a bloke playing a sitar and a pianist who seemed like they were still learning! The service was excellent - we were greeted by a very friendly and attentive waiter, but unfortunately the food let him down. Pretty bland, unimaginative and basic considering the price - we were hoping for something a little more, but perhaps they are trying to cater more to the tastes of their much older clientele. Wouldn’t hurry back, but kudos to the staff who made the experience enjoyable, especially the guy behind this masterpiece...

Outstanding restaurant. The parmesan bread was to die for. And the spring rolls may have been the best spring rolls I've ever had! No exaggeration! The service was attentive and staff were extremely friendly. The decor of the place was sublime and loved the cutlery and glasses. Highly recommended!

We just celebrated my birthday with lunch at the Avalon. We loved the ambience and really enjoyed the food - everything was delicious! Our favorite favorites: the camembert was extraordinary (but beware: it's a large portion for an entree! We shared and that was a good thing!) and the licorice cheesecake - to die for! Thank you for a very good time!

I am sure they are proud of their heritage and the history of the place is cool, but this does not mean they can't change/clean their furniture from time to time. Place looks very old and parts of it not taken care of. (Maybe this is the vibe they are going for, I just don't like it). The first interaction was a very rude hostess who walked us to our table. Our first server was very friendly and energetic but we were then served by 3 different people who were just uninterested. No one came to check on us after our mains were served, or replaced our water. Food is OK at best, very overpriced and poor presentation. The entrees were quite nice but the mains (steak and lamb) weren't great. We asked for the steak medium rare but it was very rare. That was fine for us because we didn't mind but some people do. If you are looking for a nice night out, go to your local pub. It will be cheaper and friendlier.
