Outstanding! One of our very best seafood meals ever. Black grouper with crabmeat and Beurre blanc was exceptional. Snapper with macadamia nuts and raspberry sauce also superb. Clam chowder a great starter. Lots of clams and perfect creamy broth. Helpful attentive service. Pleasant atmosphere. A highlight of one Miami Beach visit.

First of all our waiter, Richard, was phenomenal. There were 10 in our group and he interacted and joked with us all, including the young children. He was such a joy. In addition, the wine selection was good. We got a reasonable Bordeaux Gran Cru, our diners were very good. Most of us got the specials, which were very tasty. We finished our meal with a dessert. Of course the key lime pie was the best.

Thank you, Leonette! We're so glad your group had such a wonderful evening with us. Our team will be thrilled to hear your kind words, they truly loves making guests feel at home. We're happy you enjoyed the wine, specials, and of course, the key lime pie! We hope to welcome you all back again soon for another joyful night. Best regards from us at A Fish Called Avalon.

Luxury on Ocean Drive. The last dinner of a week's fine dining in Florida was a highlight. The tastiest mussels I've ever had and perfectly tender Octopus were our starters, and the Twin Maine Lobster main course was two whole succulent lobsters for $65, ridiculously cheap. The warm summer terrace seats on Ocean Drive let us watch the South Beach fashionistas saunter past ...really quite a night.
A Fish Called AvalonResponded on May 30, 2025
Dear Alex, Thank you for choosing us and for such a beautifully written review! We're honored to have been the highlight of your Florida dining experience. From the mussels and octopus to the Twin Maine Lobsters, we're thrilled everything hit the mark. Dining on our terrace with Ocean Drive as the backdrop truly makes for a special night—thank you for spending it with us. We'd love to welcome you again. Best regards from us at A Fish Called Avalon.

The food was spectacular! We tried various appetizers, and each one was better than the last. We also ordered the macadamia crusty snapper with spinach risotto, which was absolutely amazing. We would definitely come back again because the food was incredible. The service wasn’t as great as the food was, but the flavors and quality of the food made up for it.

Dear Daniel, Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the variety of appetizers and loved the macadamia-crusted snapper with spinach risotto—it’s definitely a standout.
