I had the pleasure of my second experience dining at Avalon Hall. My companion and I made a reservation for one of their private dining sessions. I believe they only do this a few times a year; Avalon Hall is primarily an events venue.
Avalon Hall is farm to table. Nathalie, the owner, built it a few years ago. She was going to go with a barn theme, but was inspired to use a medieval look after watching "Game of Thrones." Avalon Hall has elegant wood paneling, a few tapestries, a knight in armor standing in a corner, and a large fireplace.
We were seated at a table next to the fireplace. White table cloths, votive candles, and more.
The portions are good-sized. I'm a vegetarian and so my plates were different than my companion's. The appetizer was a flatbread with vegetables and balsamic. The bread tasted good and the vegetables were quite fresh. My main course was pasta with pesto and roasted vegetables. I was so pleased that the pasta was capellini or one nearly that thin. The vegetables couldn't have been yummier. They weren't overly roasted. My dessert of homemade vanilla ice cream and amarena cherries was perfect. I don't know when I've tasted better ice cream.
Our server was kind and attentive but also left us alone enough. And I mean alone--we were the only people with a reservation that night!
Really hoping to go back soon. Clarksville is only an hour or so from St. Louis. You can find about more events at Avalon Hall on their Facebook page. read more
