At first glance this place looks great! We ventured in one evening and the staff is very friendly so that was a plus. The staff was consistant with their cordiality but after we ordered it did take a while to get water, check back if anything was needed and bring our drinks etc... The food left a lot to be... More

Had the most delicious focaccia pizza for lunch yesterday topped with fig arugula and cheese, this was as good as anything I have had in Italy .. The Crimini mushroom topping was also amazing.. The gourmet gelato is also to die and I wish I had left room for the desserts as they looked incredible.. Will definitely be returning here..... More

First off, we waited almost 15 minutes before we were approached by any server and we were seated in plain view. In that 15 minutes, we saw two bugs crawling on a nearby wall. We should have left then, but we were in a hurry, and all other nearby places seemed to be more sit-down-and-stay type places. Once we did... More

On our first visit to this coffee shop/bistro/gift shop, we weren't totally sure how it "worked"- it appears that you can just grab a coffee and or dessert and sit down at their little bistro tables, but you are apparently only supposed to sit down and wait for a waitress. I watched a few other people come in and look... More

We had both lunch and dinner at this place. In fact, in our opinion, this is the best restaurant on the island. The menus are incredible. The salads and soups are great. The pastry and dessert selections are heavenly. The atmosphere and ambiance are top notch. Service was great. It is pricey though as are most of the restaurants on... More

The food is great and the outdoor patio dining is lovely. It is fun to watch all the people going by and look at the ocean as well. Service was good and friendly.

Went for a meal for the first time during this visit. Had always just had coffee there! We had clam chowder - plenty and good but a bit pricey!

I am completely in love with this place. It has a wonderful atmosphere. High ceilings, charming decor and great food and wine. I came here every day of my trip for something - a snack, cake, lunch, hot chocolate, wine. Highly recommended!

This place is a bright spot in a hit and miss community of restaurants that is Avalon. The experience in this wine bar/art gallery was made better by the terrible pizza we had just had at a pizza place by on the beach. The food is wonderful and the wine great. I came to Avalon for a day trip with... More

This place turned out to be a diamond in the ruff. We were looking for a place to catch a quick meal and at first thought this was just a souvenir shop. Boy were we surprised. Good food, good drink choices, and great service!!
