A Fish Called Avalon

Great location on ocean drive Perfect for people watching and gentle evening breezes Perfectly steamed and chilled Maine lobster. Well presented and segmented. The grouper and crab were delicious and the shrimp scampi was ideal too. The key lime pie was nice finish. The waiter seemed to have nearly the entire outdoor section but service never lacked.

I can honestly say that this was a wonderful experience. We could not decide on what we wanted, so we walked along Ocean Drive, and this place stood out at us. I am a seafood lover. My boyfriend does not eat much seafood, but he was okay eating here. -Wonderful service-Great ambiance-Delicious Drinks-My dish with the Grouper was delicious -The spinach risotto is to die for. I ended up eating out of his plate. -Great music

Camilo at the front desk is amazing! Super friendly and knowledgeable about the hotel and the surrounding area.

Their orzo paella is one of the best seafood dishes I've ever eaten and I think about it all the time. May have ruined all other paella for me to be honest. The fish was fresh and so delicately cooked and each piece of orzo melted in your mouth along with the that decadent sauce. It was so filling and yet light at the same time. My husband and I had a lovely meal there and everything from their cocktails to dessert was delicious. It's been a little bit so I think their menu has changed but we also loved the dessert - a bananas foster type of dish. So good!Great service and loved the ambiance - was the perfect setting for a romantic date night.

So I have to say that this is probably my fave seafood restaurant in the US!! Big statement but have eaten here twice in Miami and the food is absolutely outstanding,great service,nice atmosphere. Right in the heart of the Art deco district and part of the famous Avalon hotel I miss this food. Their octopus was the best I have eaten and have had it in many different countries and still this was the best. My family from the UK all enjoyed their dishes thoroughly when we went on a cruise out of Miami. Great cocktails and good value for money. We took an Uber here so can't comment on parking Go you won't regret it if you like seafood!

We don't venture out to South Beach often but going to A Fish Called Avalon was 100% worth it. Everything from the food, service and ambiance was impeccable. We made Friday night reservations through OpenTable but probably would have been OK had we just walked in. The weather was nice and cool so we opted for a table outside. Our server Amy took great care of us. She rattled off the specials like a pro but my bf and I had pretty much decided on what we wanted. Food came out fast. We got the mussels to start - they were garlicky and light, probably the best I've ever had. For entrees we got the crusted grouper and shrimp scampi, both SO good. And we had to finish off with a slice of their famous pecan crusted key lime pie. Splendid but we were so full we struggled to finish it. The drinks were also very good - I started with a glass of rose and later their Miami cocktail and my bf had the Boomshine (both strong and spicy). Service was great. Amy checked up on us often and we appreciated that they kept our water glasses full. There was a live singer/guitarist for that added to the romantic ambiance. And parking was surprisingly easy with a garage about a block away. To finish off, the manager sent us an email today following up on our visit :) Coming here was a treat and a great start to the weekend!

Went on a trip to South Beach Miami, decided to celebrate at A Fish called Avalon. We were surrounded by the sound of a musician playing a guitar and singing. We ordered dinner & Drinks I had the Macadamia-crusted Snapper w/ Spinach Risotto, my wife ordered the Free Range Citrus Chicken w/ Sweet Potato Mashed Potatoes. The service was top notch to say the least. We were celebrating so we decided on the Award Winning Key Lime Pie, it was phenomenal! I know now how it got its name. The staff & musician made a memory we'll never forget! We will return!!! Thanks to the staff for making such a wonderful experience!!!!

Great service. Great food. Great environment. Do I need to say more. ? no. The whole experience was excellent amongst a collection just mediocre restaurants. Go here. !!!In Miami- this is a place to get reservations

Outstanding. First of all - Happy happy hour is the best. We usually have happy hour and last night for the MB Ocean Drive holiday light show we had dinner outside after happy hour. We got a a bottle of prosecco for $25 at happy hour. Dinner outside was outstanding. The service was more than attentive and nice. Our server was Marvin. My parents were in town for the holidays so it was great. We can't wait to go back. Agem at the bar was exceptional. Highly recommend. The only place other than the betsy and the local house on ocean drive!

Sooooo good We loved sitting out in the early evening and just people watching on the busy street. Not cheap, but nothing in this area is. I had the redfish 3 course meal with a great salad and key lime pie! Perfection!
