Reviews Avalon Downtown

Great pizza and Italian food. Great variety of choices, just one of the best places downtown for that kind of food. They also have a bar... Amazing bartender there. I had the best martini I've ever had. I hope they keep that guy because he knows what he's doing. I ordered a dirty martini and watched him make it and it was like watching a painter creating a masterpiece. He let the glass sit for a little while with some ice and water. Then used good vermouth and gin which was shaken (not stirred). They also have this really tasty olive brine for them. I like that they don't use a traditional martini glass, they never seem like they hold much and even if you're sober they spill too easy and trust me, you don't want to waste a drop of this martini. It's served with some great olives on a bamboo skewer. I was very impressed by the skill of the bartender. I would definitely recommend going there if you enjoy different cocktails.

Good food. Good service. At a good price. It was our first visit. Certainly will get another from us. Atmosphere was comfortable. Other guests of mixed generations seemed to be enjoying themseves.
