This spot was actually my food highlight for my weekend on Catalina Island…read more Definitely a casual and quick spot but they have a variety of options and good serving sizes. I ordered the poke bowl (with a little extra tuna) and this was great for a post hike lunch. The tuna pieces were large and relatively firm / fresh, the sauce was flavorful but not too heavy, and all the other toppings were proportional to the bowl size. I ate the whole thing and was sufficiently full after! My mom ordered the halibut, which was also a large, probably 7oz+ size of fish with a large side of broccolini. I had a bite and it had a great flavor and was cooked well. Would definitely come back to try some fried fish options like fish n chips or even some of their sushi rolls.

I came this place with my friends on our visit to Catalina Island. I had looked it up before and…read morehad high hopes. They had a cool concept of being able to pick the type of fish that you want for any of the fish entrees. The staff was nice and the food came out fast. Unfortunately, the execution on the food missed the mark for me. Fish & Chips ($21-25) All 5 of us got this with halibut which was supposed to be the most tender fish, but half of us got dry and overcooked pieces that tasted more like chicken. The fries were crispy though. Seasonal Oysters (1 dozen $34) I love oysters, but these tasted metallic and not as fresh to me. My friends liked them though. Overall, the food was a miss for me. I would not come back again.

For food, we ordered the duck cigars and artichoke fritters to share, and then the sea bass (special of the day) with broccolini to share. The duck cigars seemed a little out of place on the menu but were very good; I'm a big fan of duck and liked the crunch and teriyaki-like sauce on top. The artichoke fritters were OK but not my favorite, as I felt they just lacked flavor or much texture. The sea bass and sauce had a great flavor but was a little mushy. My mom enjoyed her cosmopolitan and I thought my mai tai was fine, but had tasted like they just used cheap pineapple juice as the base. Our waiter was friendly and service was quick, but I felt we were getting pushed out a bit toward the end--two people back to back tried to take my plate as I was still munching, our waiter put the dessert menu down on the table pretty blatantly and then finally he brought the check. We weren't there for an excessively long time but it was busy as we were leaving so I understand the need to get people through for the night. I'd definitely come back for the ambiance! This wasn't my favorite food spot but I thought it was on par for the price point.

Pleasantly surprised by Avalon Grille…read more Filet mignon was super tender, the red wine sauce was excellent, and the garlic mashed potatoes were VERY garlicky, which I loved. I ordered medium rare and it came out closer to rare, but the meat was such good quality that it was still delicious. The lobster mac & cheese was more my boyfriend's thing than mine, but the lobster itself was great. We did unfortunately get a small piece of shell in one bite. Great waterfront location, perfect for people watching, lovely staff, and a really nice atmosphere. Bonus points for unexpectedly nice restrooms too.

The skillet itself wasn't really my favorite, so I only managed to get halfway through it at most, which was a bit of a bummer. The Biscuits N' Gravy, on the other hand, were absolutely delicious!! I immediately devoured those lol. I think if I came back, I'd definitely try something else, perhaps something from the Combos section. Still, the staff was nice :)

Most recently, while taking a break from shopping, one of my friends and I stopped to have a quick drink on a very hot day! We had no idea the glasses would be so huge! Lol! The drink was also strong this time! I'm a lightweight, so I enjoyed a few sips, but definitely couldn't finish all of it, not even half of it! If you like large flavorful drinks, this is the place! Customer Service | Wildly friendly, and accommodating! Once, when several friends surprised me on the island at once, we all dined here! It was our last meal before catching our ferry, so we had very little time! Maggie's Blue Rose was kind enough to accommodate us, a total of about 10, as well as get our meals to us quickly, including excellent customer service! #grateful We had a variety of food! Overall | I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu, as well as updating my review one day!

If you decide to eat here, definitely sit outside. Our server was also sweating so much that I was worried sweat was going to drip into our food. I ordered a piña colada, which was okay, and the Lazy Green Enchiladas. Unfortunately, "lazy" was pretty accurate. The enchiladas and beans had basically no flavor at all. The green sauce tasted like jarred salsa, and the chicken was plain, bland boiled chicken. My husband got the fish tacos, he said they were okay. Overall, this was a disappointing first meal on the island. I wouldn't eat here again and unfortunately wouldn't recommend it. Oh, if you want Mexican, the sunset bar and grill was good!! And great service!

It's a popular spot, so service can be a little slow when there's only one person serving, but we were having a laid back afternoon and didn't mind. The poke nachos were the standout for me. Instead of regular corn chips, they use what reminded me of crispy fried wonton chips, which made them extra light and crunchy. So good with the ahi poke. Prices are a little on the higher side, but that seems pretty standard for restaurants on Catalina. I'd definitely come back for the outdoor dining, views, island fries and ahi poke

During the call I greatly appreciated the fact that the date was clarified more than one time due to the no refund policy, I verified through my app and we secured the date. It was also brought to my attention that the beach was quite rocky and that water shoes were a must, we had just purchased water sneakers and opted for one pair of shoes. I did warn our group, some chose not to listen and it definitely was a miserable time for them. Unfortunately I do not recall the woman's name that secured the booking but definitely LOVED AND APPRECIATED her valuable insight and making sure the date was correct. Walk from the port, was beautiful we used Apple Map to avoid hills. Our party consists of several individuals with disabilities and we had to move slow. As huge "boats and hoes" fans we were absolutely delighted to see the big blue sign that said Catalina Wine Mixer. That really was a cool greeting. As you entered under it, it was lined with stunning palm trees on the left and the gorgeous ocean on the right. We could see all the cabanas and knew we were headed in the right direction. The views just kept getting prettier and prettier. We saw lots of people bustling around in yellow shirts, and seen different buildings. I walked up to one and asked where we checked in at. I was guided to a yellow hut over there. Checked in with ease and walked across the super thick sand to our Presidential cabana. It was very comfortable and cozy looking and the view was absolutely breathtaking taking. During my booking I asked for best view. We secured the cabana in the front on the corner. WOW!!! We noticed Evian bottled water on ice in a bucket. Towels were brought, one for each person. We had enough seating including two loungers. We were brought our two "smoothies". Which were never tasted, We only showed up with two people to start because our port day happened to require reservations to get off, which is no fault of the beach club, the rest of our party couldn't get off until noon. They arrived about 1 pm. When they arrived, we had to wait for a long time for Julian to circle back. We ordered 14 Coronas to start, everyone was ready for some drinks and some water due to the heat before eating. We walked down to the beach and hit the water. BOY WERE WE EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR WATER SHOES!! The water was super refreshing, but due to the waves it was unsafe for myself, I only have use of one arm, and the waves were pretty big, coupled with the drop off under the water I was not able to get in, I knew I wouldn't have been able to get out. Again NO FAULT OF THE CLUB. The rest of our party was definitely able to enjoy it! Julian circled back with our bucket of beers and we ordered two drinks for my daughter in law, I don't recall what they were, but she loved them and sucked them down, stating they were very tasty with a good pour! We did wait for a long time to be brought our drinks and for the circling back. Our first conversation with Julian was that it was too far of a walk for several of party to get back and how do we get a taxi or a ride, our service wasn't working and we were told about the WiFi, but that was hit and miss. Our carrier is AT&T and we found it difficult to get out. We were offered to have a taxi called or he told us he could call his girlfriend. NO PROBLEM, we were never told about the free shuttle back to town. We were up in the circle area waiting for our ride when the free shuttle pulled up and we hopped in because we waited for half an hour. During our walk up to the area to be picked up we noticed an area with showers, which we used to clean the sand out of our shoes and to wash the salt water off. The restrooms were clean. There was also an area to rent tubes, shop, purchase gifts.. it was very nice! At 3 pm we asked for the platter that came with our booking, which I felt like should have been brought and not asked for before we leave. Would we return? Most likely yes, just hoping for speedier service without having to ask for what comes with the booking and definitely making use of the free shuttle or actually being able to get ahold of a taxi to get to and from. The rest of our party noticed the free shuttle sign and waited for approximately half hour and it never came so they walked it.
