This place is a hidden gem in Pennsylvania. It is a must if you are in the Philadelphia area. From the drinks, appetizers to the main entrée are simply amazing. They also made my Martini from scratch.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free friendly

My rating is more 3.5 than it is a straight 3.I must mention that my decision to visit Bar Avalon was influenced by the hilarious Instagram videos done by the owner. The entertaining content on social media piqued my curiosity and contributed to my decision to give the restaurant a try.My recent visit to Bar Avalon left me with mixed feelings, leaning towards disappointment. Although I didn't delve into the entrees so my review might change if I go back.The truffle fries stole the spotlight with their delectable garlic aioli. However, it's challenging to go awry with fries. The ricotta goat cheese spread failed to impress, lacking flavor and accompanied by a meager portion of bread. Similarly, while the buffalo chicken arancini boasted good texture and flavor, the blue cheese sauce fell flat, lacking the expected punch.Moving on to desserts, the lemon cream cake showed promise but lacked the zesty punch of lemon and suffered from a slightly dry texture. Conversely, the crispy beignets offered a pleasing crunch and flavor but left a sense of incompleteness.On the positive side, Bar Avalon offers decent happy hour deals, with a commendable beer selection that pleased my husband.However, the service experience was marred by a bartender who appeared rude and overwhelmed by the crowded bar. While I understand the challenges of a busy establishment, the lack of attentiveness and overall demeanor left much to be desired.In conclusion, Bar Avalon has its moments, but inconsistencies in both food and service prevent it from truly shining. With some improvements in flavor profiles and customer interactions, it could fulfill its potential as a go-to Italian spot.

We stopped in on a Friday early evening during restaurant week in February. The bar area right inside the door was pretty full. We had a reservation and were seated in the dining room. Our server was friendly, attentive and quick. We had some cocktails and they were very good. The menu looked fantastic. Our meal was fantastic. We shared the bacon wrapped dates for an app and the tomato, spinach and burrata pasta - we added shrimp. Both were delicious but the dessert stole the show. Flourless chocolate torte - melt in your mouth chocolatey paradise. I almost licked the plate. Parking was on the street. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Bathrooms were clean and fresh. I would absolutely come here again when in the area.

Great date place or hanging out for a Sunday Funday with your friends for brunch! Sexy atmosphere and amazing food and service. The bartenders and wait staff are amazing, along with the management and owner.The eggplant chips, whipped ricotta, bacon-wrapped dates, roasted long hots, and mussels on the appetizer menu are my favorites! You won't be disappointed

The happy hour menu and bar tenders are excellent. The bruncn menu is limited and very expensive. The customer service, can be better. .We had the brunch burger and it didn't have any seasoning and the meat dry. We expected better...

Asked for main room where it’s away from bar but was sat at available area off of bar. Way too loud but service, food and cocktails were excellent!

Bar Avalon was incredible last night! There were 9 of us that walked in at 8pm for dinner. A different restaurant in town messed up our reservation leaving us wandering around town hoping to get in somewhere. Avalon was incredibly accommodating and saved our annual friends Christmas dinner. The service, food and ambiance was amazing. We’ve always loved Avalon and last night our love grew even more!! Thank you!!

Had a really great time trying a bunch of different meals and sharing them with members of my family. The weight staff was fantastic even if service was a little slow because it was such a busy time of night in town. We would come back here in a heartbeat.

The mimosa brunch board was so good! Great variety of food and just enough for 2 of us to split. Our server, Madi, was great!
