   We ate here a year ago and loved it. This time, limited food choices, very overpriced, we did not enjoy the buratta appetizer ($24) so not worth it, very little flavor on the peaches and not many and balsamic glaze wasn’t enough and bland. The crab cake appetizer was one crab cake $32. It was decent but again over priced. Shrimp & grits moderate, halibut and scallops were ok not great $46 again overpriced. The KC Strip steak was tasty, but pricey at $55. The service was poor from the reception to the dinner table. We will never go back.

   Menu has changed and not for the better since our last visit. Chicken is now fried — actually overfried and tough. Mountain trout was dry. Server wasn’t overly warm nor friendly

   The food was great and our server was fantastic. The only reason for the four star was because the hostess was not pleasant at all and she gave the impression that we were bothering her. This was my first time at the restaurant and it was for Mother’s Day celebration. The food was amazing, our waiter was phenomenal, but the hostess not so much.

    The food unfortunately was so bland. I've been to all the locations and this one the second time and was very disappointed in the food. It was almost inedible. Hate to see a great restaurant take a down turn.

    Had an excellent Mother’s Day brunch with our family of six. Great food, service was a bit spotty but likely due to the crowds of Mother’s Day guests. Will definitely eat here again. Shrimp and Grits and Fried Chicken jump out as menu winners.

    Our waitress Victoria was very pleasant, she moved with a sense of purpose, yet created a relaxed atmosphere and we will request her service upon return. My wife has GF - dietary issues and Victoria made sure the appetizer and entree met her needs. Adult beverages were tasty as well; 2 diff Managers checked on us while we dined. Portions were generous and fresh. 1st time but not last time to visit South City Kitchen/Avalon. Thank you for a real good time! Brett, Christa-Marie & Matthew

    Steven was a great server. We have had him in the past. He kept us informed of the bread taking long to bake cause of an oven problem. He was prompt and didn’t hound us for refills. He noticed when glasses were low and brought us refills. Very good waiter. Will be requesting him when we come back in July and be staying at the Hotel Avalon for a week

    Saturday brunch had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens. A perfect match! On Sunday I savored the pan seared trout with mussels and ratatouille. The sauce was outstanding with the crispy skin trout. Could not have been any better!

    Service was awful, didn’t have table ready @5, constantly had to remind the wait of things we requested. Slow about taking our entree orders! Food was delicious, value was ok, except I expected 2 crab cakes for $32, only got 1! Ambience was fantastic

    I've been going to South City for over 30-years or very soon after the first one opened in Mid Town. I have been dozens and dozens of times and have visited the one in Avalon at least 8-10 times since opening. Victoria was our server last evening and see did an outstanding job. Sweet, enthusiastic about her role and fun.

    We decided to make reservations for South city kitchen for Easter. It was required that we place a credit card down and the time was set for 3:45 PM. Upon arrival we were about 10 minutes early but they were able to go ahead and seat us. After ordering our food at the very end of the meal none of us were really satisfied with everything. The waffle was delicious but our fried chicken dinner plate was surrounded by collard green juice so it made parts of it soggy and the mashed potato soggy. The trout was delicious but the side of ratatouille was very salty and mushy. the two children’s meals which were hamburgers did not include the cheese that was requested and didn’t have any lettuce or tomatoes. We understand when you order a meal that sometimes you just won’t like the taste but what really made us angry was that the check was brought out and no one ever asked would you like any dessert or coffee or anything. Instead I had to remind our server that the children’s meal was supposed to include ice cream. She then proceeds to tell me that the kitchen is closed and she is sorry there is no way to get any ice cream. So I said no problem you can just take it off of the cost of their meal. Well actually the ice cream is considered free she says so it’s not really a way to take anything off. I then Saadi would South city allow me to make a reservation at 3:45 when we haven’t even been here an hour and you were already rushing us out saying that the kitchen is closed. She said they were eying to correct that with open table. Unless I’m mistaken I didn’t think that south city made homemade ice cream in the back and I just felt as a server she did not go above and beyond nor did she even think that she should get her manager even after asking her to let them know that as customers we were not pleased.

    We enjoyed a cocktail at the bar before our reservation time. When our time arrived, we approached the host stand and we were seated quickly. Our server was very enthusiastic (maybe a little too enthusiastic). He was able to go over a couple seasonal specials and make some recommendations from the regular menu. We ordered cocktails while re reviewed the menu, and they were delivered quickly. We ended up ordering one of our favorite apps, the Burrata Cheese and grilled peaches. It arrived, and was served without the usual toast points. We found it a bit bland without the seasons bread to add a little seasoning, and the peaches were not ripe, so a bit bland. Another server came by and offered to remove the plate (which we had eaten less than 1/2) - She asked if it was ok - I responded that it is better with the toast points and she responded that we should have ordered them. (We have always gotten then in the past, and the menu states them as part of the dish). The mains arrived, my wife had the halibut and scallops: The halibut portion was hearty, and the dish was great. I ordered the fried chicken and greens. The chicken was served piping hot, and it was good but seemed to lack some seasoning. The greens were barely room temp. We decided with the uneven meal to skip desert and go somewhere else. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and noted that on the reservation - We were surprised that it was not acknowledged. We didn't expect any fanfare, but most restaurants will at least acknowledge the occasion. Maybe being part of a hotel impacts the level of quality and service compared to other locations(?) It was convenient, being hotel guests for the weekend, but not sure if we would go again when staying at Avalon.
