   Gave a fair for service because the waitress was very good but the kitchen service very poor because there was a kitchen worker that could be seen from the open kitchen with no hairnet and shaking her hair over the counter where she was preparing food. This same kitchen worker was seen on her phone and scratching her scalp in the kitchen where the food was being prepared. She also had on no gloves and not one time did she wash her hands.

   We had a wonderful experience at South City Kitchen Avalon. We stayed at the Avalon hotel so we went for Dinner and then for Brunch the next day. Both experiences were amazing. The staff accommodated our needs with no issue, and the food was phenomenal. This will be one of our new go to spots from here on.

   This place was FANTASTIC! I am not usually a fan of pork chops, but the way they described the cold-smoking method and the ability to serve it on the less-done side, convinced me to try it and I was impressed! It was moist and very flavorful. Our server was great and helped us navigate the menu to specific choices that we all wanted. I would highly recommend this place. We were there on a business meal and it worked out great, but the ambiance is also great for a nice dinner date as well.

   Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you stepped out of your comfort zone with the pork chop and ended up loving it—our cold-smoking method is something we’re really proud of, so it’s great to know it made an impression. We're also glad your server helped make your experience seamless and enjoyable. Whether it’s a business dinner or a date night, we love being a part of memorable meals, and we truly appreciate you recommending us. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

   Went for brunch, food was just meh. Paid a lot for food we didn't enjoy. Service was fine but probably won't revisit.

We hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future.

   Hard upsell before we even ordered our first glass, but overall, it was a nice place to bring visitors to the South.

   Trout was pretty dry, rib eye very fatty but cooked well, pork chop was not very tender .

   Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that some of the dishes didn’t meet expectations, especially the trout and pork chop. That’s not the experience we aim to provide. We appreciate you mentioning that the rib eye was cooked well, and we’ll be sure to share your comments with our kitchen team for review and improvement.

    Went in for a Sunday Brunch. This was my second time there for a Sunday Brunch and was a completely different experience than the first time. This time, they had a lounge singer with an acoustic guitar player serenading everyone, but the space is much too small for such loud speakers. None of us could hear each other talk. The singer was great and did a lot of Frank Sinatra, but it is just too loud and poorly planned for the space. The food was just meh in comparison to what I got the first time. The first time I got the King Biscuit which was pretty good. This time I got the standard breakfast and it just wasn't worth the price. The espresso martini was great as were the biscuits served in a basket. I would like to try this for dinner, but I am not sure I would come back for Sunday Brunch. The ambiance is very nice and a great setting for a romantic dinner.

    Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear your second Sunday Brunch didn’t meet expectations. We appreciate your comments on the live music and will work on improving the acoustics. We're also sorry the food didn’t live up to your first visit, but glad you enjoyed the espresso martini and biscuits! We’d love to have you back for dinner and hope you'll consider giving us another chance. Thanks again!
