Breakfast Burrito
Linda C.

We drove past this place a bunch of times both during the day and night, and it was always popping, so we finally stopped in for brunch to see what the hype was about. The views are unbeatable. You're looking straight out at all the boats docked in the harbor, watching golf carts zip by nonstop. It's basically peak Avalon people watching. We grabbed champagne and just sat there soaking it all in. For food we ordered the breakfast burrito and the oatmeal. The oatmeal surprised me in the best way. Perfectly cooked, not overly sweet, just really well done. The breakfast burrito was solid too, and I asked for both red and green sauce. The red sauce was the winner for me. I really wanted to try the buffalo milk, but I couldn't bring myself to commit to a whole serving, it felt heavy. After way too much internal debate, I skipped it...and now I'm regretting that decision as I write this. It looked so good. All in all, great food, unreal views, and a super relaxing vibe. Definitely stop by if you're visiting Avalon. Oh one thing I didn't like....we asked for waters and they brought us boxed water. It tasted like plastic, so gross. Don't order water here. We wouldn't have asked for it had we known it was going to be boxed water!

Enticed by the name, we decided to swing by this place after landing on the island. It's not too hard to get to this spot, it's technically a hotel's restaurant. It sits right in front of a roundabout that then faces the beach. Very cute, service was also fantastic. The salad was great but the tuna nachos were a bit lacking. It still tasted good but I wish there was. just a bit more tuna or other toppings. Would recommend it as a nice place to just relax

We got the Ahi Poke Nachos. Best wonton chips I have ever had. Great crunch and the tuna was perfect.

The nachos (with sauce and peppers on the side).

Excellent service! Friendly and helpful and ready to make my experience just right! Thank you for being awesome! I also enjoyed the cucumber drink and ahi nachos. Good people watching spot.

Poke nachos

Service is great. Everyone is friendly and cool and just here to help you have a good time. The poke nachos were phenomenal. Best appetizer and perfect to share! We tried the buffalo milk, it's like a milkshake with a shot & the pepino cooler which is perfect if you're looking for a refreshing drink. It's such a beach vibe and you can't go wrong with sitting at the bar or outside. Really loved this place!

View from the outside seating area

Good view and mixed drinks, average food and service. Tuna nachos were not bad but the ratio of chips to tuna and mango was off. Mai tai was decent and quite boozy. Other meals portions were tiny (especially bowls). The menu was different from what we saw online so I posted an updated menu as of March 2020.

Cadillac marg and buffalo milk cocktail

This place was disappointing and whoever was the OGM on Saturday July 19th, you need to learn better customer service. I came to Catalina to celebrate my mom's birthday and we decided to try out this place. We get there and they don't have seating that fits our party of 6. So the server asks if we're okay splitting up to 4 and 2. We were hungry so we said we were okay with it and would wait for the table that does seat our whole party to open up in the mean time. So my bf and I sat on the patio area while my family sat at a table near the bar. We were hoping that the other table near the bar would open up soon. Our server was attentive and was nice and we appreciated him trying to accommodate us the best he could. My bf and I ordered drinks and the other server brought one of our drinks over to my family's table and my sister told me that he could barely form a sentence. He handed them our drinks and said Order?? But later on, my sisters would overhear him talking to the other tables perfectly, in complete sentences. So that was a little weird. While waiting for our food to come in, we saw a small table open up next to my family, not the big one but at least it was a table near by. We asked our server if we could move over there so at least we were next to my family and he says sure. But as we go to sit down, the other server brings over a party of 2 and says it's already reserved. And then the OGM swoops in with her blazer and says that theres a queue if we want to sit down and that we need to leave. Obviously it was just a misunderstanding, and my bf and I don't mind if it was already reserved for another group. It's not like we got up without asking someone first if we could sit there. But the OGM was rude and just assumed that we went and sat down there of our own accord. Which was weird because I had made eye contact with her plenty of times before when we were sitting on the patio, so it's not like she didn't know that we were already seated customers there. And as a manager, she couldn't go about the situation a little more kindly? Instead she just straight up tells us we can leave. We told her a server said we could sit there and shes like which server? We tell her and she just walks away. My bf and I go back to our original seats and we're frustrated with her tone and her rudeness. Our server comes by and apologizes, but theres not much he can do with her as a manager. Then to add more fuel to the fire, my bf and I saw that the large table finally opened up. We ask our server if we can all move there now. He says he'll go ask his manager. As we're waiting to hear back, a party of 3 white ladies that were sitting next to us move over to that table without asking anyone and the OGM sees all of this and doesn't say a word. Where was the swooping in that she did for us? Where was telling them that there was a queue and they needed to leave? The group didn't even ask and they weren't even a full party of 6. On top of all this, the food wasn't even good. I ordered the shrimp linguini and it's just dry noodles that tasted like mac and cheese with 4 barely cooked shrimp. My family didn't like their food either and it was way overpriced for what they gave us. Also ordered the buffalo milk cocktail, it was nasty. Just a huge disappointment and horrible customer service from the ogm there. Our server we had was very nice and is the only reason I'm giving two stars to this horrible establishment. If you're debating eating here, find another spot!

Buffalo milk (minus the whip cream they were out of)  Vodka drink (minus the cucumber juice they were out of )

We love this restaurant! Love to sit on the patio on the rail. Our favorite is Julian. He's always so great and his service is perfect, he knows us when we come in 4x a year. Today we noticed the restaurant was out of everything and the buns for the burgers were store bought cheap small ones. The owners need to get with it! This is a great location and has good workers. I'd hate to see it fail from poor food quality. Just my $.02

Poke nachos and Mai Thai

The nachos were delicious and huge! Definitely enough to share. The mai Thai was strong! Good service and the view was unbeatable. Will definitely be going back!

Ahi nachos
Jena R.

The food was 10/10. My husband loved the ahi nachos and his drink the Svelt strawberry! I had the breakfast sandwich which was amazing as well. I also got the bottle of mimosa with flavored purées strawberry and peach! Service was a little slow to start but great overall! Beautiful views and ambiance. Will definitely be back!

Overcooked shrimp
Dani L.

Wow not sure what happened but it's gone down hill so much since we were here last. Came in twice so far this trip and very bummed both times. Now, sat night and not very busy. Two girls working (both long dark hair). We sat for about 10 minutes after they told us they'd bring our menus out and we ended up having to go ask for a menu. Then ten minutes later had to go ask if we can order a drink. Were about to leave but she finally came out to take our order and said they were out of few things we tried ordering. Got an appetizer and blackened shrimp I had last time. They brought out our appetizer with our meal and some plastic forks and spoons.Everything was disappointing. Super small shrimp compared to last time Very bummed because we loved it last time we came here. I'm sure they won't be here next time we visit just like a lot of the places on the island sadly. Made for a crappy anniversary dinner

Loved this place!! I have came here twice and both times the service was excellent…read more Place is clean and the vibe is very chill. Food is great!! I really enjoy it here and hope to come again my next time in Avalon.

After a long day exploring the island, my husband and I figured we'd try the restaurant inside our…read morehotel. Pretty good reviews, close by, saves us from driving down the hill... sounded perfect. Yeah... wrong decision. Drinks: My husband ordered a margarita and instantly pulled an ant off the rim of the glass. Okay... it happens. He tried to let it go. Then he noticed a dark winged critter sitting at the bottom of his drink... it was a fly. I told him to bring it to the server's attention. When he did, the server looked confused, like he didn't see anything. Then he said, "I can make you a new one or you can just finish drinking this..." Finish drinking a margarita with a fly in it. That should have told us everything. Food: I ordered the carne asada plate. Seasoning was fine... honestly passable... but the cut of meat was the cheapest, chewiest carne asada I've ever been served. My husband ordered the tri tip plate. It was just bad: * Bland meat * Raw broccoli * Bland mash * Thick, chewy slices of bland "tri tip" To be fair: Our server checked on us when he could. He seemed genuinely trying... but it looked like he was playing chef, bartender, and server all at once. Total recipe for disaster. No one can pull that off. I ate what I could because trying to navigate the island late at night for food isn't ideal... but this meal was a letdown from start to finish. Bottom line: Steer clear. Convenience or not... we won't be back. Not for dinner, and definitely not to give breakfast a chance.
