    My honey and I had our last meal in Miami here on our honeymoon trip in January. Winter is the low time as the beach is quite cold and the tourists limited, which made for a lovely, quiet date night at the rocket bar at a fish called Avalon. We sat for about 2-3 hours enjoying cocktails, oysters, mussels and paella, and chatting with the bartenders about everything over the sun. The food was fantastic and the portion sizes humongous. We were so full after our appetizers but wanted to stay and chat so ended up making our way completely through every dish. We will absolutely be back the next time we want a fancy fine dining experience on the beach!

    We came here like we always do while staying in Miami , twice. We got the Bronzino on Wednesday and it was fabulous. Marbin was our server. He was right there when we needed him. We always get the bang bang shrimp. It was wonderful. Then we came back the night we are leaving Miami . We got the bang bang shrimp again because we love it. This time my sister got the seafood pasta. She said there was seafood in every bite. And she commented that octopus was cooked appropriately and was not rubbery. and was fresh. I got the macadamia nut incrusted fish. The topping was so good and it was placed in a yummy berry sauce. Marbin was our server again. He is so good at his job, very attentive and friendly. We had the famous key lime pie. It was perfect . We will be back the next time we are in Miami

    We came here for cocktails and dessert. Once the waitress heard we were only here for that, she stomped off to the maitre de and had us moved! Extremely rude! Once at our new table, we had a lovely waiter who was more than happy to serve us. The table they moved us from never had customers the entire time we were there. We did have a reservation and no where does it say whether to indicate if you are there for a meal or just dessert. That being said, the key lime pie was delicious and the live music was awesome! Perhaps that waitress was having a bad night? Certainly should not have been rude to customers. We come down every year, but will think twice about returning.

    Took my beautiful wife to This restaurant for Valentine's Day and it was amazing. The hostess were very polite and got me to my table immediately, the manager was helpful and our server Richard was just the best! Food was 10/10, I literally have no complaints or anything to critic about. Sitting on the street was cool cause I overheard several people walking by say "I want to go here" "it's that one restaurant from the movie" and such so that cool. Definitely recommend A Fish Called Avalon and suggest it to anybody who wants great seafood right on Miami Beach.

    Branzino

    Amazing experience! Service, from the maître D to Enzo, was exceptional. Ambience fantastic. Very good light entertainment. But the star was the food, no question. The bang bang shrimp was excellent. Highly recommend. Not traditional, very unique and delicious. The beet salad, yes... perfect. My wife cannot eat gluten, the waiter was knowledgeable and work closely with the chief to protect my wife. The branzino was special. For me, I loved the crab encrusted grouper. Generous crab served on a tasty bean and spinach. Highly recommend! The cream brûlée top was a little too charred, but we had such a great meal we peeled it those pieces an enjoyed.

    OH.MY.GAWD! Best oysters, Paella, key lime pie, Aimee and the rest of the staff service! I'd fly back here for all of it. You'd think I was a celebrity the way the staff treated me. Highly recommend.

    Baked Escargot

    Miami Beach is considered a paradise for those in love with the culinary arts, dining at a Fish Called Avalon Brought out the feeling of classic Art Deco South Florida while delivering delicious starters and appetizers, the Baked Escargot was light and buttery soaking in just the right amount of sauce when it was served, I also decided to try the Octopus as an appetizer as well, tender and chewy with a fresh taste of the ocean, The atmosphere is very lovely here especially during later in the day when the sun sets, I would recommend visiting for anyone

    Macadamia-Crusted Snapper
    Cathy K.

    I came back after 10 years during a trip to Miami to have the macadamia crusted snapper again! It's so so delicious and my favorite meal. Alejandro was our server and he gave us the best experience.

    The food was delicious. The service was masterful. I couldn't think of a better location to enjoy a meal on Miami Beach.

    Greek salad

    Sidewalk seating was entertaining with people watching and live music. Food was on point and server was amazing.

    Roasted beet and crispy goat cheese salad.  Macadamia encrusted snapper with spinach risotto.   So good!
    Jennifer F.

    The service, food and ambiance was amazing. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a special meal. We sat outdoors so I can't speak to the inside of the restaurant. We all enjoyed our meal. The sauces took each dish up a notch.

    Great cocktails and apps

    Their orzo paella is one of the best seafood dishes I've ever eaten and I think about it all the time. May have ruined all other paella for me to be honest. The fish was fresh and so delicately cooked and each piece of orzo melted in your mouth along with the that decadent sauce. It was so filling and yet light at the same time. My husband and I had a lovely meal there and everything from their cocktails to dessert was delicious. It's been a little bit so I think their menu has changed but we also loved the dessert - a bananas foster type of dish. So good! Great service and loved the ambiance - was the perfect setting for a romantic date night.

    Award Winning Pecan Crusted Key Lime Pie
    Kavitha P.

    So I have to say that this is probably my fave seafood restaurant in the US!! Big statement but have eaten here twice in Miami and the food is absolutely outstanding,great service,nice atmosphere. Right in the heart of the Art deco district and part of the famous Avalon hotel I miss this food. Their octopus was the best I have eaten and have had it in many different countries and still this was the best. My family from the UK all enjoyed their dishes thoroughly when we went on a cruise out of Miami. Great cocktails and good value for money. We took an Uber here so can't comment on parking Go you won't regret it if you like seafood!

What's in there? What's up with that name? Yes, it's open - and very late! Inside, you will find a wide variety of cocktails and a smoky coolness waiting. And the name? Dang! - I forgot to ask. Homework for my next visit. Following an early dinner, the lady and I enjoyed a couple of drinks around 8:30. We were the only ones in the place, which still felt cozy. Learned a lot about the group that owns this spot from our friendly bartenders. Drinks were good, the playlist matched the loungey vibe, and the prices were in line with what you'd expect (gratuity included). Overall, a nice early nightcap. We did pop our head in last year around 10:00 p.m., and the place was ramping up. I've no doubt it's a great scene the later you get.

You know how some restaurants blast music so loud you end up yelling at the table? Not here. The music was at the perfect level where we could actually talk and enjoy each other.

When we arrived we were greeted and promptly seated inside at the back wall in a booth. There was another couple to our left and one or two others across the room at other tables. The couple in the corner who was seat next to us proceeded to talk extremely loud and had several FaceTime calls with their children as if they were in a private location and not a restaurant. Our entire meal consisted of listening to them in the phone and talking so loud to each other and their server we could hear every word! This rude and annoying behavior overshadowed the meal and left us very frustrated and annoyed. If you are going to require certain attire (although several guest came in while we were there who had on shorts and flip flops) and charge very high prices, you should have a cell phone policy in place and redirect guest to step outside or leave if they feel the need to FT their family for 20-30 min. We spent well over $200 on a meal for two and it was one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had. The enjoyed the food we ordered except for the French onion soup which I sent back. The Burrata Caprese was fresh but could have used a few more tomatoes and my husband really enjoyed his steak. I chose not to order anything once my soup was returned because we wanted to leave as soon as possible. Over all the service was good and most of the food was too. Unfortunately, there are those who'd have no regard for their environment and those around them which makes others experience negative! The manager and severs were aware of what they were doing too as they walked by a few times and looked at them. But failed to intervene and for that they get two stars.

The atmosphere is unmatched, the food was incredible, and every space has its own perfect vibe while still feeling cohesive and luxurious. What really made it stand out though was the service.
