I have now eaten at Eastside Bistro three or four times over the past couple of years. To say that I have been underwhelmed would be a bit of an understatement. The only reason to visit Eastside Bistro is to accommodate the request of a person with whom one is dining. I have ordered black bean burgers and fish sandwiches for the most part and neither have killed me so at least I feel safe eating at the Bistro, but even as bar food goes, in my opinion Eastside Bistro is a dining experience to be endured and not enjoyed.

Service was fine but the food was absolutely disgusting. We stopped in for brunch today. My husband got the Oscar Benedict and had to excuse himself halfway through the meal with severe stomach cramps. I got the frittata and it just tasted like an over cooked omelet. My daughter got the kids meal pizza. She took one look at it and said mom this is gross looking... And she wasn't wrong. We sent it back. The only other thing I can say about this place is boy do they enjoy making their food nuclear level hot. Step away from the microwaves, clean your kitchen, and learn how to cook. For these prices, yes they are very overpriced. It was OVER $50 for this nastiness, this level is not acceptable. It's on our never return list and we live in avalon. What a shame.

Great flatbreads, specials, atmosphere and staff. The perfect to wine down! Love the buffalo chicken dip and ribeye verde.

My wife and I visited this place based on a recommendation. Being new to the area we were excited to find a place that featured good food, nice drink options and live music on weekends. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a nice meal with your significant other or group of friends. The wine options were very nice and the food choices were lovely. My wife had stuffed shrimp which was stuffed with crab and was delicious. I had the special for the evening, a bourbon glazed salmon which is probably my new favorite way to enjoy salmon. We will be back to this place again as there were many things on the menu we did not get to enjoy.

Place looks amazing inside and out ... same cannot be said for the food. Decided to give this place a try even after reading some of the negative reviews on here. My fiancé and I visited here for lunch, our experience from the start was bad. To start her drink was terrible (Pink lemonade) and they had no sugar packets on the table which made no sense ... I ordered the Bistro burger and she got the Turkey panini, burger was ok but I've defiantly had way better burgers and it came on what looked to be a cheap bbq bun, her panini was terrible and nether of us could eat more than a bite of it. First and last time going to this place ... kind of unfortunate too since it looked very promising.

Food: Overall, the food is okay. But really, that's about it. I've tried quite a few of the menu items and there were very few that made me think, "I HAVE to eat that again!" I mostly eat at the Bistro for the $5 burger night, since they do make a pretty sizable burger and it's a good deal, but it's not even the best burger I've had. Unless you choose one with flavorful toppings, they can be quite bland. It's just decent for the price. The one menu item I would say I get a craving for is the prime rib sandwich, other than that I can take or leave most of it. Drinks: Now, THIS is why I find most people frequent the Bistro. With their nightly cocktail hour, you can get a lot for your dollar. Even outside of cocktail hour, their drink prices aren't ridiculous, which is important in Orlando. The house wines aren't bad at all, and if you go during cocktail hour you can get a glass of that or sangria for only $2. Staff & Service: Overall, the staff are a very friendly and welcoming bunch. There is only one waiter I have dealt with who was pretty rude, and I have a feeling that was because a group of his buddies were sitting at the bar and he was more concerned with talking to them than doing his job. This only gave the waitress who picked up his slack the chance to shine brighter. There has been a few times where my table was left waiting for a pretty long time even though the restaurant was not that busy, which I think might also be indicative of a younger staff spending a lot of time chatting amongst themselves, but they were at least pleasant otherwise and have never messed up an order. Atmosphere & More: The Bistro is a cosy, casual little spot that accommodates several sizes of groups as easily as a dinner for two. There is a dividing wall between the bar area and additional booth seating on the other side of the restaurant, which is great for those who don't particularly enjoy having televisions overhead while eating. There was definitely thought put behind the layout and design. For the most part, the Bistro is kept very clean and welcoming, but there has been one or two occasions where I was seated at a table that had crumbs or dirty silverware. During the day when it's self-seating, I have seen tables left dirty for an hour or more. This was quickly rectified when pointed out to wait staff. Overall: It seems the strongest points for the Bistro are the drinks and atmosphere. While there's nothing terribly wrong with the menu, they could really be something special if they upped their game a bit in that department, and maybe hired a busser to be solely responsible for cleanliness of the tables, if they haven't already.

Great Burgers!! My wife, son and I ate dinner here Friday night after my sons basketball game. The patio and bar area was fairly full. But the main restaurant seating area was only 1/3 full; at best. I mention this because my only negative comment about the Eastside Bistro was they were really slow. Most of the people outside were having drinks, but it took awhile for our food. But, when the food did arrive it was really good. I had the Black & Blue Burger and it was excellent; really good burger. My wife had the buffalo chicken wrap special which was pretty good. And my son had the Bacon, BBA Bacon Cheddar Burger which he really liked too. So if you don't mind a wait; relax, watch the game or have a beer, because the food was really good.

Yesterday was my first time in Avalon Park, since a friend decided we should go out to eat in this area. The town is adorable, and a great atmosphere for a nice night out. After hearing about the Eastside Bistro from a friend, we decided it would be a good choice for dinner. I hate to begin this on a negative note, but this place was a bit ridiculous from the beginning. We didn't even SEE someone to put our name in until about 15-20 minutes into the deal. I only stayed because my friend wanted to. We waited and waited, standing in the front of the restaurant. Finally we put our names in, only to be told it was a long wait. Since it was a Friday night and my friend didn't mind, we decided to go for it and sit at the bar until we got a table. We ordered sangria, which was the best part of the whole thing if you ask me. A woman we met while waiting to put our names in suggested it to us, and she did not steer us wrong! I'd like to think of it as a juice box for grownups. It was sweet, but you could taste the wine just enough. I sipped it from a straw in a large wine glass. It was phenomenal. At $4 per glass, it was a steal. We were given a table outside sooner than we thought, and we immediately went out. It took a while to get a server, and we ordered once we had one. I had a side caesar and the crab-stuffed shrimp. I made the mistake of not saying "side" caesar (I thought it was obvious), and they gave me a really large one that cost a few dollars more than the side one. It was a good Caesar, but not worth $4. Make sure you specify, I guess. The shrimp was fine, but the crab it was stuffed with was very dry. I think they put in too many breadcrumbs in that crab stuffing. Overall, the food was fine, but not worth the bad service.
(3)Zachary M.
Pretty average steak tacos but I must say the Buffalo Ranch Dip was divine. The whole dining experience was pleasant. Though our server only stopped by 3-4 times, which I have no issue with seeing as my drink was always filled and the food came in a timely manner. I'd eat here again, but wouldn't be my first choice.
(3)Mike P.
I stopped in for a minute to meet up with my son-in-law and his best friend. I noticed that the place is not nearly as well maintained as it used to be. The bar could use a resurfacing or at the very least, wiped down. The floor could use a fresh coat of urethane. as well. I considered getting a bite to eat but when I was handed a menu, it was dirty on the outside and inside so it it pretty apparent that they are not paying attention to the details like they did when this place first opened so I changed my mind and just finished my drink and left. The sad part is... We used to be regulars here but one of my fellow Yelpers warned me this place is not what it used to be. I have to agree. That is too bad...
(2)Thysis R.
I'm updating my review because this place is doing much better. Its definitely not a 4 or 5 star but its better. Apparently there is another new owner cause things seem to be flowing much better. Some of the staff is different which is good. The food has actually gotten better. My new favorite thing here are their burgers. Yes they are $10 but you can get them for $5 on Tuesdays with the purchase of a beverage. The burgers are cooked to order. I also enjoy their sweet potato fries which come with a cinnamon sugar sauce. Monday night is bar tab bingo. Its a ton of fun! Haven't won yet but its coming! Lol! They usually have a happy hour special on beer and house wines as well. You can choose to sit in the bar area or in the main dining area or enjoy the outdoor seating. Hopefully this place will continue to get better as I do enjoy the atmosphere and like hanging out with my friends here.
(3)Brian H.
i would have given this place a solid 4 stars if the service didnt suck. we ordered the following crab stuffed mushrooms- could have been in the oven longer. almost cold in center. pub burger asked for medium came out well done bbq burger asked for medium came out well done buffalo chicken nachos food was just better than Ok. for whatever reason the burger tasted much better the next day microwaved LOL. the waitress was busy doing her closing sidework at 9pm on a friday night when the place closes @ midnight. the band they had playing was nice and not overbearing at all which can be an issue at some places. Id try this place again. the flavor was there but the execution on the plates were not.
(3)Jennifer R.
Eh. While I wish I could write a better review I'm just not a fan. Each time I have been the serivce has been pretty terrible. The food however is good, at least the burgers are. They have a nice selection of beer and other items but nothing to make me ever day, "Oh, lets go to Eastside Bistro."
(2)Rick A.
I love this place. Outside seating. Home made potato chips are great. Nice wine selection. Friendly service. I come here often for lunch.
(4)Caroline V.
This place was amazing!!! I got the Fuji Apple salad (WAY better than Panera's) which they make their own Apple vinaigrette for! It was delicious! The atmosphere is awesome too, it's a family owned place & I went on a Friday night when they had live music. Would definitely go here again!!

Eastside Bistro is a local restaurant that has changed owners a couple of times since we have moved here. When we first went here a few years ago, the food was fair and I probably would have given it 2.5-3 stars. In the past year or two, with the new owners, the restaurant has really come into its own. The menu has drastically improved and so has the food. They have some very tasty sandwiches and wraps. The ribeye sandwich is terrific. I also had one of their steaks with mashed potatoes last week and it was prepared perfectly. My husband likes their Cajun pasta--it has a nice little kick. My sister-in-law had a shrimp dish a few weeks ago that tasted divine. They've also begun serving brunch on Sundays--and their Eggs Benedict are wonderful. We've made a habit of eating in the neighborhood when we want a nice meal instead of always having to go outside for a good dinner. My one complaint is that the service is still pretty uneven. Sometimes it's on point, but at our last visit the waitress completely disappeared after taking our food order. One of the other waiters checked in on us after a significant amount of time had passed to refill our drinks, and he was great. If the service was on par with the quality of food, the Bistro would get 5 stars from me.

I've been here a few times for lunch and have had the same great waitress every time. The food has been consistantly good and... they have icewine! Yum!! So far I've tried: Roasted Red Pepper Panini - soft yummy bread, cheese, red peppers and chicken. Could use something to maybe kick it up a notch in the flavor department but still good... maybe if they can put gorgonzola on it or blacken the chicken. Buffalo Chicken Wrap - This was really flavorful and just perfect Mahi flatbread - Love the dough and the mahi was really a nice change up from a standard topping

Well, it's been almost three years since I updated my review for the Bistro, and Shelly has sold the business to a new family. For better or worse, we weren't around for the shakeup and transition as the new owners found their footing. So, how does the 2015 bistro stack up? We visited on a Wednesday night, hoping to take advantage of their Unwind Wednesday buffet and drink specials, as we did literally almost every week before we moved. Upon entering, we were promptly greeted (maybe 30 seconds after entering) by a hostess who showed us to our seats. Looking around, the Bistro looks largely the same as it used to. There's a new fancy lit up bar along the back wall, and more sports flag/penants hanging from the bar, but the decorations and decor looks to be the same otherwise. The biggest difference was the lack of crowd. When we used to come in at 6pm on almost any night, but especially Wednesday, you'd sometimes have to fight/wait for a table or a spot at a bar. Now, there were maybe six tables filled through the whole restaurant. Bo, our server, was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and honest about things we asked about. We asked about Unwind, which it turns out, the owners had *just* done away with. He explained that the owners felt it was losing too much money, but went on to say that he thought that it could have been a better money maker if they had extended the hours (this is something we've always thought about it, even when Shelly still owned the place). When we ordered drinks, my wife asked for a glass of wine, to which Bo responded, "did you want the house wine on special, or something better?" Not exactly a ringing endorsement of their house wines. Shelly used to include Captain Morgan amongst the well liquors. I'm not sure what I was served, but it wasn't Captain. The wine was decent for a $3 happy hour house wine. The $3 well-rum and coke was worth about $3. My first pour was better than the second and no one ever asked if I wanted a double (which I was always asked in the past). One thing to note is that their website lists old prices for their happy hour, which are lower than the current ones. The menu was largely unchanged. Fewer burgers, slightly higher prices on some items (burgers that were $7-8 are now $10). My wife loved her Avalon Salad with rare cooked salmon. Bo had mentioned that the cooks would be ecstatic that someone requested it rare since most people apparently order it burnt to a crisp. They cooked it perfectly for her. I ordered the BBC Burger, which was similar to the old Cowboy Burger Shelly served. The patty is now smaller, as is the portion of sides that it comes with. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as I used to have trouble finishing everything in the past - but I am a little disappointed that portion sizes went down and prices went up. Despite being smaller, it was cooked pretty accurately medium-rare. There were a few uneven spots that were medium or above, but not enough to complain. The flavor of the burger was decent. The fries were a big hit with both of us. All in all, the new incarnation of Eastside Bistro is a step backwards from what it once was, but still a solid meal experience. We'll be back.

It's been over 2 years since I had a meal here. I've been here several times for the music and appetizers. Serve was poor then at best. Here on Wednesday night which means a house full of loud laughing cackling women that got their money's worth from the all you can drink wine. Had the pork steak medium. Cooked to order. Mixed vegetables were summer squash, zucchini, onions and 2 carrot slices. Told the owner that they need to add additional vegetables to the mixed. Well received which from what I read is uncommon. Server was nonexistent after I ordered. No refill request for my water. When I finished she finally asked if I was okay? This trip was okay. I think the food is over priced for this community. A family of 5 could not afford it here except for special occasions.
(3)Kori T.
Never again... 3rd times the charm they say.. well that wasn't the case here. Not only did we not get served for over 20 mins when we did get a server they said they would be right back and only came back after we got up to ask to be served another 15mins later. When our food finally arrived 40 mins later it was cold and not just oh its a little cool but oh this is raw chicken. No joke, RAW CHICKEN. I called the server over immitally after my friend cut in to eat it and she could only say sorry and she would bring us a new one. I said no, just the check we are done with this place. Needless to say we are NEVER coming back. Mind you we have been here 3 times at this point and each time had been getting worse and worse. From the severs drinking non-stop behind the bar *please don't deny it I recorded the whole thing to show my friends how stupid the owner must be to employ you all.* To giving me the wrong order twice when I said I was allergic to mushrooms. Twice.. people, Twice. I really think this place needs to close down.

Let's go through this experience... Get to the restaurant and wait patiently to be seated. All three servers ignore us so we sit ourselves. Ten minutes later, server finally gets us a menu. After taking our drink order she disappears. About a year later, after we have each chosen our food order and had time to learn a new language and recite Pi to a thousand places, our server arrives with our drinks and to take our order. I ordered a burger with fries and soup. No complications, no extras or something exclusions. An eternity later, the appetizer arrives that my friend ordered. You would think my soup would arrive at the same time. Nah. Server had no time for that. After one more lifetime, appetizer has been eaten and digested and past along time ago, our food finally "arrives". Unfortunately all that arrived for me was my burger. No fries, no soup. I ask the server. Turns out she thought I ordered a burger and soup, no fries. Idk how that happened but OK... At least she knows I ordered soup right? She goes to get my fries and (incoming single compliment of the review) she returns quickly with fresh fries! Things are looking up. I start eating my burger and fries, anticipating the soup to come. Sometime after the next ice age, our check gets to the table. Now... You may be asking yourself, "what about the soup? Was it at least good?" I am afraid I can't answer that because it never came. FAQs "was it busy?" less than half the tables filled and three servers working. One was outside smoking on the patio tables. No it was not. "was the food at least good" I've made a better burger on my George Foreman grill. "was it clean?" sure was, cleanest restaurant I've ever been ignored in. "how much of a tip did you leave?" you really think I left a tip? LOL -severely disappointed
(1)Andrew S.
Never been here and actually stopped in with no expectations. ...7ish on a clear Friday evening last week, so the bar and outside seating were both busy ...got seated in a booth in the dining room next to the bar area immediately. ..waitress was a rookie but polite and good...had rib eye and crabmeat stuffed shrimp steak done medium rare as we asked for and the margarita Flatbread also good. ...the place got crazy busy as we were on our way out....bringing my 80 year old parents tonight. ...stay tuned.
(4)Adam S.
Heard the place had new owners and the service, which was an issue for me, seems to have upgraded in the dining area. That is until the server dropped the check while my wife was only half way through her meal. Besides the obvious poor etiquette, it is a huge pet peeve of mine. I wonder if she considered, or cared, that I might have wanted coffee, dessert, etc. We went to Avalon Perks for dessert and coffee instead. I must explain that I am a manager in a casual dining restaurant/bar, so I have more then a casual opinion on basic service. I understand that they are staffed with 18-22 year olds (so it seemed), but service can fix a lot of wrongs, guys. Those moments, near the end of our meal,made the otherwise acceptable dining experience, a disappointment. I haven't given up on ya Bistro, I just saw what could have been.
(2)Zack B.
Great location and atmosphere... unfortunately, the food doesn't live up to the expectations. At a first glance, this beautiful little restaurant drips of high expectations due to it's nice decor and upscale feel. After my first visit to Eastside Bistro, I was neutral. The service was good and the restaurant was clean, but the food was sub-par... average at best. But due to the location and romantic setting for a date night out, I decided to give this place another shot. To no surprise, it was the same experience as before. The only thing that seemed to be semi-enjoyable was a Buffalo Chicken dip appetizer that we had. The entrees were bland and uneventful (again). This place has SUCH potential... but it lacks in food quality.
(2)Lisa T.
The food here is awful. The first time I came, I got the smoked salmon flatbread. I was expecting the raw fish you get on a bagel or sushi, I got cooked salmon. It was not only unexpected, but also tasteless. Second time I got the spinach dip with cheese that was not melted, and stale chips. The third time I got the club wrap with horrible deli meat that tasted like old Oscar Mayer inside of a room temperature tortilla. The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because the sangria is delicious and the drink specials are good. A complete food/kitchen overhaul and maybe I'll come back.
(2)Pauline C.
Wow I'm not sure Eastside Bistro is getting bad reviews here, but it is one of the reasons why I like living in a Avalon Park! We've only starting eating here the past year and just love this place. We are impressed with their food every time doesn't matter what we order and the price is great! They have $5 burger every Tuesday. I'm talking juicy gourmet burger even comes with a side for that price! Why go to McDonald's? Try their sweet potato fries with the cinnamon butter. A few more of our favorites are the crab cake sliders, blackened prime rib sandwich, salmon salad, and mahi wrap. They serve alcohol, live music on the weekends and trivia nights on Thursdays where you can win prizes.
(5)Kirsten L.
We ordered chicken wings, flatbread, and steak sandwich. They serve tator tots! Ok food. Place looks nice for a private party.
(3)Nery R.
I really like this place for some local Sunday funday drinks. Along with their brunch, they offer $3 mimosas and bloody mary's. We usually sit outside and enjoy a light lunch. Their chef salad is delicious and large enough to satisfy!
(4)Lisa D.
The food is tasteless and the restaurant is not dirty, buts it's not clean either. We had to clean off our own table. They put parsley on everything! I am surprised that I didn't find it my drink. I recall an episode of Kitchen Nightmares where Chef Ramsey said that parsley is what cooks put on food when they don't know how to be chefs. I am a big champion for small business but I would encourage the owners to invest in an executive chef that has been trained in the culinary arts instead the owners playing chef. We keep trying to go back and give it second chances but we are always disappointed.
(1)Natalie C.
When I think of A-OK, places like Eastside Bistro come to mind. The food was good, the restaurant was clean and the waitress was really nice. Yet, there wasn't that remarkable, one-of-a-kind factor that has me clamoring at the chance to return. It's just right if you're looking for a quick bite to eat at lunch time--and they have a few outdoor tables if the weather is pleasant.
(3)Emily W.
I go to Eastside Bistro A LOT and here's why in a nutshell- It's close, it's happening but not crazy, the food is pretty good and the happy hour is AMAZING. Here's why in more than a nutshell- This place expanded to about double its size and of all the times I've been there I have never seen it empty and I've never had to wait, which is perfect. They have happy hour every single day 4-7pm which includes $2 house wine and $2 sangria among other specials. Their house wine is good- I usually get pinot noir. Wine is served in an awesome large wine glass and comes with a sidecar mini carafe to top it off. All for two bucks! And when it's not happy hour it's still only $4. The sangria is also a big hit for most. Without the cheap drinks the food would not necessarily lure me back time after time. But since we do go there so often I've tried a lot on their menu and here are my favorites: Shrimp and lobster bisque- huge chunks of seafood and very rich and creamy Ahi tuna appetizer- good amount of tuna for the price Spinach dip- very cheesy- get it with chips or pita bread Stuffed mushrooms- recently revised recipe! They used to be chalk full of dry bread crumbs (yuck) but now it's mostly crab and the sauce drizzled on top is delish. Chipotle chicken pasta- new on the menu- good spice and super rich Salmon with dill sauce Shrimp scampi flat bread Really any of the flat breads but if you're really hungry you should also order a salad or app to fill you up. I'd say the food prices are fair. So what's holding me back from that 5th star? We've had issues with the steaks- too undercooked or really fatty claiming to be a fillet. Also sometimes the service is slow.
(4)Stephanie S.
ewe the health department needs to pay this place a visit. Got food poisoning once, called it a bad day. Went back for a second try, couple months later, got it again. Used to have great lobster bisque, last time I went is was just thick cream burnt broth with someof shrimp tails. BIG dissapoint this place has so much potential. Suppose if you drink enough booze while you eat it might kill the ecoli salad that they severed me twice in 1 year. never to return, buyer beware.
(1)Gerald H.
Great food and convenient location.
(3)Reixa C.
Very dissapointed with the Brunch at Bistro (7/31/2011). Should of gotten the hint when at noon we were the only people there. The mimosas were excellent and the made to order omelettes were great. The breakfast buffet items were cold. The biscuits were hard, the french toast was old, they had about 3 trays of old cheap mini cinnabons and muffins and there was no fruit. I wouldn't even feed this to my animals. They shouldn't even waste their time putting this out, it is embarrasing. Then, to top things off, the staff served themselves from the breakfast and just sat next to us at the bar. There should be a backroom for employees to eat, it was just very unprofessional.

I recently moved to Avalon park and was hoping this nice looking spot would knock it out of the park. I felt I was off to a great start when upon approaching I noticed plenty of activity on the patio. I thought it had to be a good sign that two Florida guys* were hanging out on the patio having a good time. On my initial visit I had a bacon cheese burger. The meat was medium a requested and the sauce was pretty good. I would say the burger was the best part of the experience. It was big and juicy on a good, crisp bun. The fries were just OK. Perhaps I have a built in bias to think all crinkle fries are closer to something from ore Ida, but at any rate I found these to be quite flavorless. I had to apply a few dashes of salt to get them up to snuff with my palate. The service was great. The server was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was standard for a bistro. I ate indoors, and I suspect I might have bumped this to four stars if I got to hang with Florida guys out on the patio. I expect to go back as it is so convenient, but the menu and the overall experience isn't one that will have me dying to take friends and family. I apologize in advance to the eastside bistro if and when someone posts a really negative review due to having a couple of screaming and crying brats in the restaurant. Those belonged to me. *Florida Guy-A white, middle aged male who resides or who has at one point in his life resided in Florida and exhibits the following characteristics: athletic build, blondish hair (too much sun, dyed blonde, or combination of both), dark leathery skin (tanning bed, too much sun, or combination of both), and proclivities for Ray Ban sunglasses, pastel shirts (or no shirt), fishing ( or fishing shirts), and piña coladas.

The new management sucks at this place! I will not be back again. It's a shame because I used to like this place.
(1)Robert B.
I have eaten here a few times now. Service has always been good and the food has been great every time. Highly recommended if your in the area.
(5)Hubert T.
My latest two visits have been below par with various problems with food temperature and preparation. Warm beer has been a consistent issue for me.
(2)Annabelle S.
Ive been a few times for GNO ( girls nite out) and I really want to like it more. The atmosphere and service is great--- I love the bar and the outside seating. The food though-- is just blah. I've tried both specials and off the menu and nothing has made me want to come back ( to eat that is!) Great little neighborhood place to catch a glass of wine or two or three...
(3)Lisa C.
First time here and loved it. Food was great, and service was better. Waitress named Jenna was the right amount of available, attentive, but not overbearing. I took her recommendation on what to eat, and was very pleased with the food. Will definitely be back. She also mentioned $5 burgers on Tuesdays I believe, sounds like a great deal.
(5)Freddie V.
I ordered their chicken caesar salad as take out and was dissapointed because the chicken was cold and undercooked. I called and explain the situation to the owner and she did apologize however, she did not offer any kind of refund or future discount whatsoever. I basically paid extra for cold and semi raw chicken so I do not recommend their chicken caesar salad. If you order it make sure you request yours hot and grilled correctly.
(2)Lisa O.
My husband and I ate dinner here tonight and just had to come home and write a review. I have to say that the food was good, good prices, great music, and had patio seating, but there are two things that will most likely keep us from ever going back. Number one, the server was very short, cold, and unfriendly. She acted like we were jerks and inconvenienced her for asking what beers they carried. After ordering a Kona Koko Brown on draft this is where reason number two comes. The beer they gave me was a totally wrong beer (Kona Fire Rock). I have had both of the two beers in the past and they are completely different. We are not talking a difference between a Bud Light and Miller Light, these are so opposite it's a joke that they tried to pass this off. Again, we were treated as if we were the jerks when we told them and they stood by their product. I can handle a snotty waitress but do not to try and serve me a beer that I am familiar with and give me something else. We were so frustrated and let down with this place.

Avalon Park is really growing and doing it big. This place is a definite winner. Their seared Ahi is incredible and their flatbreads are tasty! The atmosphere is your typical 20-30 somethings; with outdoor seating it's a great place for a date or a couple drinks on a Friday night. Definitely one of my Orlando favorites.
