Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Avon

We splurge once a year to come here and it never disappoints. It’s not super fancy so we don’t feel out of place, but it’s a very nice place for a special date night. The food and drinks are always delicious. This visit I got the filet which was *chefs kiss* as always, but the brussel sprouts were where the meal really shined. The toasted ravioli appetizer was perfect. My husband loves the shrimp cocktail, with the signature famous cocktail sauce they share with their sister restaurant St. Elmo’s. If you’ve somehow never tried this gem, do yourself a favor and go. Worth every penny.

Our server was EXCEPTIONAL ! Always checking on us keeping our glasses filled and gave an honest opinion for our questions regarding certain foods on the menu. She's a real credit to Charbono's. The food was great and all the staff we interacted with were very pleasant.

Rick's is my "go to" restaurant to celebrate something special. This was Valentine's Day. They never disappoint me. Our server, Amanda, was excellent. It was very busy, but she acted like we were her only customers. Very personable.

We enjoyed a great meal with excellent service. The oysters were so fresh and delicious; sea bass was outstanding, best in our region! And my husband enjoyed the steak. Each entry was complimented with tasty, chef inspired and prepared accompaniments such as squash and polenta. Absolutely delicious. We will be back.

Coming back to Indianapolis after many years we made it a point to come to st. Elmo for a celebration with family and we were not disappointed. Our services Will was charming, funny and very knowledgeable about the menu and selection of drinks ( which wow is impressive itself) my husband, brother and sister n law had steak and mashed potatoes I had the South African lobster and my goodness cooked to perfection melted into our mouths .. definitely a treat and the dessert were yummy as well .
