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!
