I strolled into Bar Avalon randomly one night and ordered an espresso martini. It’s the best espresso martini I’ve had in a... very long time. Easily the best in town. I’ve continued to start my nights here with an espresso martini. Kyle and Ryanalways take care of us at the main bar. Their hospitality is spot on and the reason I continue to return to Bar Avalon! Theculture here is the best in town! Read more

Loved the experience at Bar Avalon. We called ahead and reserved a table outside on a Friday summer night when WC closes Gay St.... The vibe was amazing!! Food was delicious too with crispy calamari, light gazpacho, and Judy Foodie's Short Rib Pasta Special.The pasta could use a touch of something to lighten it up as it can be rather heavy. Portion sizes are huge so be prepared forleftovers! Over server was hustling and did a great job looking after us and making sure we had everything we needed for a goodexperience. Read more

I've never physically eaten in their restaurant but have enjoyed the food through catering and the cheesecake was the best I've... ever had and I do mean, EVER HAD. I had called and asked to order a cheesecake for my dad for Father's Day, both Steve andowner went above and beyond to make that happen. Steve not only called me back with an update and a follow up but the ownerdelivered their West Chester cake down to their Bryn Mawr location and I can't tell you how much I appreciated it. Althoughneither location isn't very close to us we will be coming to dine here because of their exceptional service and delicious food!Thank you very much for exceptional customer service!!

Everything is delicious. The pizza is a favorite…in all of Chesco. The mussels in the pizza make are amazing. My husbands new... favorite is the gnocchi. Calamari is the best around. Read more

I've been coming to West Chester for years, but I finally had dinner at Bar Avalon over the Christmas Holiday. I was very... impressed by the upscale yet casual vibe, and I was appreciative that the restaurant was able to accommodate my larger group.The food was fantastic and fresh. My only disappointment was how backed up the bar was, but I'm hoping it was just a slow nightand not a regular issue! Took way too long to get drinks the night I was there. Read more

Service and dinner was good. We got the meatball appetizer, which was absolutely covered in gooey mozzarella. We gobbled it up... so fast I didn't even get picture. Loved it! For mains we got the short rib and lamb ragu. The ragu was very intense in flavor,the sauce was more like a Roux then a ragu. A little much for me but overall thus is a good spot for a nice meal.

My group of friends had an amazing brunch at Bar Avalon. The menu differs from the one online by the way. There is a price... difference as well. Hopefully they update their website soon. Otherwise, we all ordered some mimosas to start things off andthey were really good! I wish they would have had some bottomless specials because it would have made things even moreworthwhile. The lobster and spinach eggs benedict was so delicious. The Creamy hollandaise really melted everything in yourmouth! The brioche french toast and open face egg and avocado were also pretty good! The croissant beignets were a nice sweettreat! They were like mini toaster strudels with more pizzazz. We have all had better truffle fries but they did the job. Thefried egg and bacon sandwich was not one of the favorites either, it honestly did not compare to the other dishes weordered. Another dish that was a bit of a let down was the scrapple eggs benedict. The scrapple was under seasoned and more onthe dry side of things. It desperately needed the hollandaise sauce. The short rib scramble was addicting and kept you diggingin for more! The pork was so tender and juicy. I am so glad the dish had mushrooms. They added that extra flavor and texture tothe dish making it very memorable. The bread was a nice touch because that sauce was so good. The real star dish that wasordered was the filet tips and two fried eggs. The filet was a little more medium than medium rare but it was still mouthwatering when everything was eaten together in one bite. The hollandaise sauce mixed with the egg yolk and filet sauce was amatch made in heaven. Everyone just had to have a bite! I highly recommend ordering either the filet tips or short ribscramble! I would definitely return. Our server was pretty amazing as well! Read more
