The staff was great. Our waiter was attentive, but even when it got busy, we had someone who checked on us. The food was really good as well. My wife and I chose to go with the $60.00 3-course meal. We both had the tuna tartare which was very tasty. Then we had the macadamia nut crusted snapper and risotto. I could eat the risotto every night. My issue with the snapper was a preference thing where I thought the taste of the fish was covered up by the nuts. I would order it again for sure, just wish the fish flavor came through a little more (My wife liked it exactly how it was). We ended with a key lime pie which made me question why I had never had key lime pie in my life. It was phenomenal. The drinks were good and I would definitely recommend this place.

Omygosh!!! Delicious!! We had the Paella at A Fish Called Avalon. It was a half order and was plenty. Priced affordably at $49 with a side of the asparagus, the food was perfect for the two of us. We topped off our dinner with the legendary key lime pie with pecan crust. The atmosphere is filled with the fun and goodness of Miami. Our server, Aimee was a beautiful addition to our trip. She was accommodating without being over bearing, making our experience very special. Looking for a special seafood experience??? This is your place! 🦩🦩🦩🌞

Where do I start... I would like to say this is the second Best Restaurant on Ocean Drive. It was that good, we had even eaten here 3 Consecutive Times. On the 1st occasion Myself & Wife ordered Twin Whole Main Lobster & Free Range Citrus Chicken. 2nd occasion Orzo Seafood Paella & Free Range Citrus Chicken & finally on the 3rd occasion, Sake & Tarragon Glazed Lobster Tails & "Again" Free Range Citrus Chicken, with all 3 occasions ordering the Key Lime Pie. The waiter service was exceptional i.e. "Marvin & A Lovely Lady Who Had The Most Calming Voice, Apologise We Didn't Capture Your Name" I would like to pass my compliments to the Chef & Team, as the Cuisine you are serving is exceptional & we look forward to returning over the Christmas Period. 5 STAR, WELL DONE & WELL DESERVED !!!

The BEST customer service I have experienced in a long time. I was on property for five days/4 nights, and the entire restaurant staff knew my name after Day 1, my preferences after Day 2. They were so welcoming and accommodating, and the croissants were delicious. They had almond milk, my favorite, and were even able to accommodate my juice preference. I will be staying at the hotel again, with one large reason being the breakfast staff.

We stopped in for a late night dessert and it was the best dessert we had during our Miami stay. The Key Lime Pie was truly the best we have ever had. Anywhere. It was so good I forgot to take a photo. The location and atmosphere are fantastic and the restaurant has that classic art deco vibe. The food looked and smelled amazing, but unfortunately it was our last night there. It will definitely be a priority on my next trip to Miami.

Excellent food, excellent service, great drinks menu, the ambience was delightful. An absolute gem of a restaurant I would thoroughly recommend. We went as a group of 4 and each had a different item, all sea food. We are all experienced diners with multiple Michelin experiences under our belt and well travelled internationally. One member of our party rated this as ‘the best seafood meal they have ever had’ and the rest of us were also extremely impressed.

We were walking up ocean drive and was convinced by the hostess to stop by and grab a table to eat. We were seated outside and after eating a drinking a bit I asked the server which way the restrooms were and they said inside. I walk inside and didn't see any obvious signs for a restroom so I ask the front desk person does he know which way the restrooms are and was told "The restrooms are closed, there is a private party". I had to explain to him I was sent in here by the server outside for our table and then all of the sudden the restrooms were open. So if you want to eat here just make sure you use the restroom before you come because it is not open to minorities. Oh and the food sucked as well, which was a double slap in the face.

My wife and I enjoyed an excellent dinner at this well-located South Beach restaurant. We enjoyed outstanding mussels cooked in Champagne, Caesar salad with anchovies, rare tuna with Asian slaw and their famous Key Lime pie. The only dish that was not excellent was the Macadamia crusted snapper. Surprisingly comprehensive wine list ( we enjoyed an outstanding Movia Sauvignon Blanc). Very attentive and friendly service.

Finally, a restaurant that lives up to the hype and reviews !! This restaurant on South Beach serves food that is well seasoned & tastes exceptional as if a skilled chef 🧑🏼‍🍳cooked it. Butterfly Whole Fish w green beans was delicious . The Bang Bang shrimp in curry sauce was phenomenal. Our waiter was Charles, pretty dry personality but he did well , making suggestions that were great. The ambience is perfect, low light, classy and nice soft music .

I ordered the filet mignon, medium rare. When I cut into the filet, it was tough and too chewy. I notified my waitress about how I didn't like my steak. The filet was prepared as medium rare, but it was too hard to chew. My waitress said she would send it back to the chef. A couple of minutes later, the gentleman, who I assume is the restaurant's host at the entrance of the restaurant, came to my table and challenged my complaint. I have never had a restaurant challenge my complaint before. The gentleman told me to cut into the filet's middle to verify it was cooked as medium rare. It was. Standing over me, he then asked me if the filet mignon was alright. I said it was OK, but I felt pressured to say it was. I took a total of two bites from the filet and set it aside as it was not what I expected. I then asked my waitress for the check. When she came to my table for payment, she presented me a portable, handheld payment device. I didn't have much experience using these devices before. When I took too long to sign the bill, the waitress raised her voice at me and shouted...sign it. That was unprofessional. This restaurant is overrated.

We enjoyed this restaurant overall but unfortunately, the food was not amazing. The scallops were good, but sooo over seasoned. The sake and tarragon glazed lobster tails were also extremely over seasoned. The food presentation was also very much lacking. It reminded us of a mediocre steakhouse rather than fine dining. I will say that the mashed potatoes and mussels were tasty and the live music and patio dining were quite nice. The award winning key lime pie was also good although not showstopping.

The best place we went to in our 48 hour time in Miami. I read that Ocean Drive should be avoided, with the exception of this place. I agree. The drinks were good, the service was the best we had in Miami, our waiter was funny and warm, even though we were dressed very casual (concert t-shirts) and the restaurant is more upscale. My tuna was flavorless, but the sides were good. The crème brulee and keylime pie was excellent! Loved the drink being served in a toy car! It was cute.

Make online reservation for my boyfriend birthday last week, the waiter (Alexis) was great, gave us some good recommendation and go over special dish of the day and that’s what we had, we also had lobster, mash potato creamy and good, green bean was very tasty, raw oysters was ok. The atmosphere was excellent, love live music on site. At the end of our course, Alexis brought the singer with his guitar surprise us with a raspberry lime pie with a candle, we sang the birthday song, the pie was very delicious, taste just like homemade pie, not too sweet, you can taste all the flavors, the pecan crust give it a better flavor. It was a very nice birthday dinner, I’m glad we go here, supposed to had dinner at a different restaurant. Even the hostess were extremely nice, we feel very welcoming from the time we got there til the time we leave. Excellent service and excellent food, highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

A very special place. Vibrant Ocean Drive atmosphere with all the beauty and craziness this road has to offer. Extremely friendly and professional staff. All courses, from starters to entrees and desserts were phenomenal ( the rumour of the key lime pie is true - world's best!), but also amazing seafood, such as the tarragon and sake-glaced lobsters. Lovely live music all evening and an outstanding service - a million thanks again to Alejandro for making this an extraordinary experience for us!

I have been to A Fish Called Avalon 3 times in 2 weeks. Once as a party of 2, and twice with large parties of 17 and 20, where my company was hosting a business dinner. The waitstaff did an excellent job accommodating the larger parties and getting food and drinks out promptly. The food was excellent each time I visited, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I worked with Giorgio to coordinate the large dinner parties and he was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Overall, excellent food and excellent service!

Bei der Reservierung hatte ich das Avalon fälschlicherweise etwas südlicher verortet, sonst hätte ich nicht gebucht. So saßen wir auf der Touriterasse und hatten ein durchschnittliches Abendessen. Fast etwas besser als zu erwarten, aber einfach nicht schön. Sollte man nicht machen, es gibt so viel bessere Restaurants in Miami Beach.

Toen de rekening kwam was de prijs kwaliteit verhouding niet naar verwachting.Jammer!!

This restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was charming, with live music enhancing the dining experience. The combination of beautiful singing and skillful guitar playing added a special touch to our evening. Now, let’s talk about the food. It was simply divine! I opted for the citrus chicken, and it was cooked to perfection. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was impeccable. It’s evident that they use only the freshest ingredients, resulting in dishes that are both delicious and satisfying. If you’re a fan of fine dining and fresh cuisine, this is the place to be. I highly recommend sitting outdoors to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the full experience. This was by far our favorite meal of the trip, and I can’t wait to return. I’ll be singing the praises of this restaurant to all my family and friends!

A fish called Avalon never fails to deliver in my opinion. So far off of your typical, tourist trap-pay, ocean drive restaurants! They have been in business since the 80’s- every night, there’s live music! Every dish I’ve had has been delicious, but a couple that always blow my mind: octopus, bang bang shrimp, scallops. This is a must-visit when in Miami!

Went for Dinner last night, and this is definitely NOT a typical Ocean Drive tourist trap. Had a drink while waiting for the rest of the party at the quaint bar with a large window overlooking Ocean Drive, which made for a great backdrop throughout our conversation. We were sat promptly once the rest of the party arrived. The Octopus appetizer, which I like to order at restaurants to gauge the quality of the kitchen as it is very easy to mess up, was cooked to perfection. Our party decided to share a few plates because they all sounded good. The Macadamia Crusted Snapper and the Crab Crusted Grouper stole the show. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly, the accompanying sauces complimented without overwhelming the fresh taste of the fish. Somehow, we mustered up the will to order dessert, even though we barely had room and were thankful we did. The Pecan Crusted Key Lime Pie…as a South Florida Native I have had an infinite number of Key Lime Pie variations but I will never forget this one. The pie was perfectly balanced between tart and sweet and then the nuttiness of Pecan crust took it to another level. Well done Chef! We will definitely be back and I will absolutely be recommending this place to my friends locally and visiting from abroad.

Very disappointed. Traveling with my husband to Miami for the first time. This place came highly recommended and was the first place we booked dinner reservations super excited to try. Well you can say we were more than disappointed when we arrived to find the inside of the restaurant close for a private function and the table we were given was outside but next to the door that the staff would access to bring stuff out. We were told that was our only option so we didn't stay. We were very disappointed since we were not told we would have to eat outside and with it being Spring Break it was chaotic and loud in addition to being placed next to an operating door.

My recent dining experience at A Fish Called Avalon in South Beach Miami was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality, setting the tone for a memorable evening. The ambiance of A Fish Called Avalon is sophisticated yet inviting. The soft lighting and elegant furnishings create a cozy atmosphere perfect for a romantic dinner or an intimate gathering with friends. Now, let’s talk about the food. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The grouper, cooked to perfection, was tender and flaky. The octopus was a true standout, grilled to perfection. The tuna tartare was a revelation, featuring the freshest cuts of tuna. And let’s not forget about dessert. The key lime pie was the perfect ending to an already exquisite meal. Creamy yet refreshing, with just the right amount of tanginess, it was a slice of heaven on a plate. But what truly set A Fish Called Avalon apart was the impeccable service, thanks to Charles and Giorgio. From the moment we were seated until the end of our meal, Giorgio and Charles went above and beyond to ensure a flawless dining experience. Their attentiveness and genuine hospitality elevated our evening. In conclusion, A Fish Called Avalon is a gem in the heart of South Beach Miami, offering not only excellent food but also impeccable service and an unforgettable dining experience.

Eaten at Fish called Avalon quite a few times over the years and it has never disappointed before. This time we had little time so tried the happy hour at the Rocket Bar. My burrata was lacking the creamy centre; more mozzarella than burrata. But the tomato coulis was very tasty and the presentation couldn’t be faulted. I could have used more than 4 bite sized crostini though. DH’s mussels were very good - he is a big mussel fan. The drinks menu on the website seems to be out of date. The actual menu was simpler; $5 off cocktails and glasses of wine but no bottles of wine available. May be you could update your website, guys?

Had a very nice meal (2 couples) and in what is arguably the nicest restaurant on SoBe's Ocean Drive. Cocktails, wine, service were all excellent as was our meal; the macadamia-crusted snapper was outstanding. We have been to A Fish Called Avalon several times over many years, but this was our first visit in a few years and very happy that it still excels and look forward to returning when we're back in Miami Beach.

Ambiance is very elegant and defines Miami. A great spot for Key Lime pie.

My fiancée and I cook at home frequently, because we want to control the quality and preparation of our food and drink. We can honestly say that AFCA prepares high quality food and beverage but also adds quality service within a world class atmosphere (South Beach). Thank you!

We had an incredible time. My mom and I were celebrating her 55th birthday. She said “this is the type of place I’d like to freeze a moment in time”… the live music was amazing, the hustle bustle of the service— efficient but still extremely friendly, the atmosphere was wonderful… and best mussels we have ever had! Overall outstanding!!

We dined here 2 out of 3 nights in Miami in our vacation! Shared the scallop appetizer both nights and we enjoyed the same cocktails also! Food is filled with flavor and every detail of the plate is beautiful. We shared key lime pie and cheesecake also on our visits. One night we dined inside and the next outside! Both perfect ambiance!

This was our second time having the pleasure of dining here. Absolutely the best. Our waiter Alejandro made a special dish for us that we ordered our first time there. Wasn’t on the menu but made it happen! Will visit here every trip to Miami without a doubt!

We were in Miami for the Boat show and celebrating a big birthday. We had such a pleasant experience at a Fish Called Avalon! The service was top-notch, the food was outstanding, the gentleman playing the guitar was perfect and our table overlooking South Beach was fabulous. I can't wait to go back!

If I measured the evening solely on service alone, the dining experience would have been given a 5 star rating. Food was solid but the special sea bass had entirely too much Miso coating. However, they initially gave me the wrong entree, but our server was quick to get it fixed. Love sitting outside but Miami has certainly changed. The heavy aroma of cannabis throughout the evening while sitting at our table was overwhelming at times. Liked the live music though but we were fortunate to be sitting far enough away to not drown out our conversation. Otherwise, it was nice to see the restaurant has maintained it's strong commitment to service for their patrons, which isn't always the case dining in South Florida.

Best experience ever. My wife and I went for dinner and we had the best key lime pie of our life. Everything is over the top, from the atmosphere to the food and service. Super recommended.

Fabulous seafood dishes, excellent service, live music, and beautiful seaside location. An absolute gem! Shrimp scampi, red snapper risotto, escargot & key lime pie were all delicious!
