A charming, beachfront seafood grill in the heart of
the Art Deco district, A Fish Called Avalon captures the casual elegance
that is the essence of South Beach. Set in the north tower of the retro
Avalon Hotel—one of the most iconic buildings on Ocean Drive—the
restaurant serves Florida fresh seafood, fine wine and hosts a popular
nightly happy hour from 6:00 -7:30pm. The breezy terrace at the front of
the property offers an ideal vantage point to watch as the moon rises
slowly over the sea.
South Florida waters offer an abundance of grouper,
mahi mahi and red snapper year round and the local lobster season adds
another level of culinary excitement to Chef Kal Abdalla's summertime
menu. He notes, "I like to keep the cuisine simple and fresh, yet
provide a wide range of styles, ingredients and cooking techniques."
Winter menus feature local stone crabs, fresh oysters and shrimp to
start. Entrees highlight the best of the day's catch plus baby back ribs
and prime steaks for heartier appetites.
For a romantic evening on South Beach, stop in for
off-price happy hour bar bites like seared ahi tuna, lump crab cakes or
Asian style calamari for just $6 each and pair them with a house special
Absolut martini ($7), a glass of wine or beer before dinner. A
Latin-Caribbean duo performs on the patio, adding that extra island
charm to your special night. Don't miss this dazzling Art Deco delight!
