    the ambiance with latin live music in the background, very entertaining to watch people from the cafe trotoire seating. The service was wonderful, and answered all menu questions.. The shrimp cocktail was fresh tasting. The Macademian crusted snapper and the spinach resotto was amazing. Chocolate mousse to end the dinner paired with a capuchino....

    We had dinner last night at A fish called Avalon. My husband and I had the paella for two and my Daughter had a pasta dish with grilled shrimp. We also ordered the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer. We are visiting Florida this week from NY. This seafood was absolutely top tier. We couldn’t have picked a better location. This was delicious beginning to end. We sat outside and they were VERY attentive. Thank you so much for your hospitality! ❤️🙏🏽

    This was one of the most delicious seafood meals I have ever had anywhere. I was intrigued by the appetizer Jumbo shrimp in brown sugar butter, turmeric, curry, cucumber mint yogurt, with pepper relish, and the combination of flavors was just astonishingly delicious. The Macadamia crusted snapper with raspberry Beaujolais beurre blanc was perfectly cooked, and even the Spinach risotto surprised. Top marks. I’ll be back!

    Great suggestion on Ocean Drive for a nice establishment to people watch. Food is great. Had the octopus, mediterranean platter and the caesar salad. I was surprised how good the food was considering the location. Maybe I am skeptical because in California most of the establishments on the water or on main drags aren't amazing. This was not that. You won't be disappointed and the interior was super cool too (although we didn't sit inside).
    A Fish Called AvalonResponded on April 20, 2025
    Thank you, Hilary! We’re so glad you gave us a try and were pleasantly surprised. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the octopus, Mediterranean platter, and Caesar salad—and that the atmosphere and people-watching on Ocean Drive added to the experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards from us at A Fish Called Avalon.

    Magnificent 17th anniversary dinner! Mussels appetizer, macadamia crusted snapper in a raspberry beaujolais beurre blanc w/ spinach risotto one of the best dinners I’ve ever had. My husband loved his escargot, shrimp entree and key lime pie off the Wedn prix fixe menu. Beautiful ambience and such gracious attentive service. They brought us champagne for the occasion too. LOVED!!
