![]() ![]() We ordered the munchkins which came coated in salt and pepper instead of sugar - we all had a laugh when I ate one and realized the mistake. For desert mochi icecream was ok and the fruity pebble cheese cake was ok. For sides t he truffle fries were very good and the broccoli was good as well. We also ordered the burger which was good, and the black cod was very flavorful. For main, the Freki roll was not so great taste wise, the wagyu skirt steak was just ok. For apps the charred octopus was terrific, the duck buns were ok (tangy/acid forward), and the sushi stack was very tasty. The service and atmosphere were good, but the food overall was a bit lackluster for the price. I have dined at other affiliated restaurants Blackstone and Opus, I'd rate this one 3rd of those. Service was great and the open kitchen is a nice feature. The drinks we had were good too so happy with this place. There are several items on the menu that we wanted to try out so going with a bigger group with be advised so that you could sample a few items. I would go back to give them another try and because of the cool atmosphere I could also see this as a good place to chill and have drinks with friends. Overall we enjoyed the place but there is some room for improvement especially when you are paying so much. The charred broccolini was our least favorite due to the sweet sauce and nearly raw garlic. We also tried the lobster Mac & Cheese which my was good but not mind blowing. It was a little dry and not as tender & flavorful as we were expecting for wagyu. The lobster was good and steak was just so so. They also had an offer for lobster tails so we added it to our wagyu steak. I would say the truffle shavings wasn’t needed and sort of took away from the overall taste but still good. We tried the sushi roll special, Santa Clause roll and it was so good. When we went the restaurant was hopping with people and the atmosphere was amazing. The menu is a fusion of Asian and American with a very nice upscale vibe. ![]() Originally known as Temperance Hall, the Avalon ran as a theatre for 86 years but has been sitting under-utilised for many years.Went through Bijou as a Christmas gift and really enjoyed ourselves.
