We always have this place on our appetizer tour. Risotto balls and meatballs are great.This time we mixed it up with salads.Bartenders were great, and provided nice conversation with us.
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 and owner went above and beyond to make that happen. Steve not only called me back with an update and a follow up but the owner delivered their West Chester cake down to their Bryn Mawr location and I can't tell you how much I appreciated it. Although neither 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!!
What a fantastic experience. Four course chefs tasting menu paired with wine was the best meal we have had in a long time. Topped off with excellent service by Nick. Great job Bar Avalon!
We haven’t been here in a couple of years. We ordered the cheese board that’s on the menu, but were told they didn’t have that tonight. Ok. Ordered some Italian type dishes and asked for bread. No bread. It’s a Friday night and you don’t have cheese and bread? These aren’t difficult items to find in a market. It was disappointing. The food and service were good, but my $28 penne vodka with shrimp only had 4 shrimp. Don’t think we will be going back.
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 night and not a regular issue! Took way too long to get drinks the night I was there.
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.
Kyle was great. The drinks were fantastic. One of the best Smoked Manhattans I've ever had. My date and I felt included and part of the experience when experimenting with different cocktails. Will be back
The bartender Kyle is THE MAN!!! And Haley!!! And the pizza is the best in WEST CHESTER!!!
We had the pleasure of attending a private holiday party here a few years ago and everything was fantastic. Then we recently ordered a family style dinner and we were seriously blown out of the water with how great the meal was. Our 8 year old especially loved the penne with marinara.Tonight we stopped by to officially enjoy a meal in-house and again, we were overwhelming satisfied. From the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant, up until we left....everything was phenomenal. Rob was our waiter and took great care of us. We were lucky enough to chat with Chef before he went back to work his magic in the kitchen. There was a very kind topper that no one involved really knew of at the time, but it heavily impacted our family meal for the better. I just wanted to share how great this establishment truly is. I've been paying attention to the craft and care that this local business has been pouring their hearts into and we are grateful to be so close by to enjoy.
I can't say enough about how amazing our experience was. We were greeted by the friendliest employees who seated us immediately. Our waitress was the nicest and most knowledgeable person ever. Our waitress went above and beyond to make sure our experience was beyond expectations. The food was absolutely perfect. The butter poached lobster and stuffed long hots were mind blowing. The cocktails were out of this world, the espresso martini, and the smores martini were the best cocktails in westchester. Highly recommend to anyone if you haven't tried bar Avalon... You need to.
