For being on Catalina Island, the fish is not as fresh as I expected. I ordered the poke nachos,…read morethe spicy poke bowl, & the blackened salmon. It'll surely fill you up, but the protein is scarce & tastes mediocre at best. However, there are not too many great restaurants in this area so it might be worth your time still.

Went here to get my wiki wacked and it was pretty enjoyable. They're a very casual tiki bar with…read morefood offerings. Staff seemed to give us the side eye while being jovial with others; not sure what prejudice they had against us. Normally I can forgo blank stares, but I expect a little more when I'm in a tourist area. - Wiki Wacker Both tropical fruity and alcoholic at the same time. You get a hat or sticker with it, and we weren't asked which one we preferred. The strength is similar to a long island, due to the mix of rum and brandy. Decent blend that had a pretty light to deep orange gradient, and an extra pineapple slice. We had fun with the straw hat, so it's fine that fate declared we receive this souvenir. - Buffalo Milk I preferred this drink over the Wiki Wacker, but I can see some people not being into it. It tastes like a creamy nothing. I liked it because the flavor was very, very subtle; it was like an icy, subtly creamy, subtly banana, subtly bitter smoothie topped with whipped cream and nutmeg. Nothing about it has buffalo in it. I would get this again. To sum it up, theming is nice and drinks are aesthetic, yummy, and effective. I love the wide open windows for the natural light and breeze drifting in, and if you're seated near the front, you can people watch.

Also great beer and wine choices. Limited vegetarian and gluten free items. We like the crooked hard iced tea and white claws. Our favorites are stuffed avocado, bbq chicken fries, tuna melt, cubano, potato salad and açaí bowl. The service is always very friendly and foods come out fast. A great place for healthy quick bites!

They gave us all the detailed info on each and every dish and we ordered the buffalo milk, fried calamari and chips with artichoke dip. All the food was well made. The lobster roll with green beans were a little disappointing. I would have liked more crab in my roll. We also got key lime pie which was delightfully sour and had a nice crust to it and an ice cream sundae! Otherwise, everything from the views, the food quality and the sweet servers were top tier! One of our friend's shoe broke and they were sweet enough to bring out a roll of tape so she could keep walking with her shoes! Definitely a must visit in the area.

The patio seating is the best seat in the house! Perfect views. Food was okay. The best thing we…read moretried was the shrimp tacos....mainly due To the cilantro crème. The lobster roll was lacking in flavor and the kids meal was also okay flavor wise. For the prices I was expecting more flavor. I'd go back here just for the views and tacos.

My mom and I recently visited from Europe, and it was our first time in the United States. I was…read morehonestly pretty nervous about ordering because English isn't my first language, and my mom doesn't speak English at all. Justin was the one who helped us, and he made the whole experience so much easier. He introduced himself, was very patient with us, and never made us feel rushed. He gave us time to look through the menu and answered all of our questions with a smile. My mom was worried about not being able to communicate, but Justin made her feel comfortable and welcome from the start. That meant a lot to us. The restaurant itself also had a really warm and cozy atmosphere. We loved the country-style interior. It felt welcoming and relaxed, which made it even easier for us to enjoy our first restaurant experience in America. Justin also took the time to recommend some great places to visit on the island and even gave us some suggestions for Los Angeles. You can tell he genuinely cares about people and wants them to have a good experience. This was honestly one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. Justin played a big part in making our first trip to America such a positive memory. Thank you, Justin!

One of my favorite meals on the trip to Catalina was the Caesar salad. I had here with the added shrimp. The shrimp is delicious and pea so well with the salad. I honestly have craved this salad once or twice already since leaving. Also had a great pesto type pasta, and a special shout out to their scallop potato that came with the lamb chop. Overall, food came out quickly, and the staff was very friendly - recommend for a casual dinner when you are on the island. Note that they only do bottled water.

Amazing just delicious food!…read more You will not regret ordering the Prime Rib. I feel like that was the best dish and my fiancé got the steak and lobster. I also got the calamari super super delicious. I feel like this was actually my favorite spot eating in Avalon Catalina. The bartender was very sweet and friendly telling us all about the good places and secrets about Avalon. I had a glass of wine very well priced and very delicious. The bartender let me try it before I ordered so that was very kind of him.
