Oliverio @ Avalon Beverly HillsClassic poolside dining inClassic poolside dining in the midst of a 1948 Beverly Hills residential building turned boutique hotel.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMGood hipster fun. The lowGood hipster fun. The low ceilinged glow-y interior feels like a cross between a space ship and a submarine, with a great view of the kidney shaped pool outside. Sunday night was quiet, and we were greeted warmly by our hostess who led us to an outside table overlooking the pool. Service was excellent, as were our cocktails. Salad and cauliflower soufflé were delicious but my wife found her spaghetti undercooked and her langostino a little tough and my lamb pappardelle suffered from chewiness too. OUr friends shared a margherita pizza with potato in the crust which was terrific.Dessert, chocolate chip cookies and an incredible cream topping was addictive. Not the most memorable meal we've ever had, but well worth the trip.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMstaff is excellent, food isstaff is excellent, food is lovely but OVERPRICED!!!!3/13/2013 12:00:00 AM
