   Our waiter, Richard, was wonderful. The ribeye and Caesar salad were fabulous. Richard recommended the apple tart dessert and it was the perfect finish for a great dinner.

   Not worth the hype. Dismissive and slow service. Food is “fine”, Mezza platter not good

   Of four nights in Miami Beach, we spent two at A Fish Called Avalon because the food was so good and the service was excellent. We had Michael as a waiter both nights and he was great and insightful on the food and our needs.

We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the food and ambiance, and we’re incredibly proud of Michael for making both evenings so memorable.

Wishing you both many more years of love, joy, and beautiful celebrations. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Best regards from us at A Fish Called Avalon.

   Everything was enjoyable. My only complaint is that their menu boasted happy jour priced from 5-7…we were there at 6;00 and should have received a $10 discount on our bill but did not.

   Great food, probably the best seafood in South Beach. Service, especially late at night, is hit or miss. We waited a long time to order our entrees after cocktails and appetizers. But overall, was a good experience. Live music on the weekends was pleasant. Sit outside on the terrace if you can.

   Excellent. We ate on the terrace. Octopus for one app and bang bang shrimp (like you’ve never had) for the other. Twin lobster tails for me and grouper for her. Both were delicious and plated wonderfully. Worth the visit.

   Quintessential South Beach restaurant but not in a noisy, bar packed area. Selected a terrace table and enjoyed live music and people watching during dinner. Meal and service were AMAZING! Enjoyed an espresso martini, crusty Italian bread and olive oil, Caesar salad, sea bass with oyster mushrooms and shrimp dumplings, and for dessert, an incredible apple tart with vanilla gelato swimming in caramel sauce. Server was very attentive but not intrusive and created a wonderful dining experience! Presentation was beautiful and the meal well paced. Would recommend!

    I was told this was a good fresh seafood joint but it wasn’t so fresh on a Sunday evening. Octopus tasted fishy, snapper was fishy. Worst 200$ meal of all time
