    We had dinner last night at A fish called Avalon. My husband and I had the paella for two and my Daughter had a pasta dish with grilled shrimp. We also ordered the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer. We are visiting Florida this week from NY. This seafood was absolutely top tier. We couldn’t have picked a better location. This was delicious beginning to end. We sat outside and they were VERY attentive. Thank you so much for your hospitality! ❤️🙏🏽

    This was one of the most delicious seafood meals I have ever had anywhere. I was intrigued by the appetizer Jumbo shrimp in brown sugar butter, turmeric, curry, cucumber mint yogurt, with pepper relish, and the combination of flavors was just astonishingly delicious. The Macadamia crusted snapper with raspberry Beaujolais beurre blanc was perfectly cooked, and even the Spinach risotto surprised. Top marks. I’ll be back!

    Great suggestion on Ocean Drive for a nice establishment to people watch. Food is great. Had the octopus, mediterranean platter and the caesar salad. I was surprised how good the food was considering the location. Maybe I am skeptical because in California most of the establishments on the water or on main drags aren't amazing. This was not that. You won't be disappointed and the interior was super cool too (although we didn't sit inside).

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards from us at A Fish Called Avalon.

    Magnificent 17th anniversary dinner! Mussels appetizer, macadamia crusted snapper in a raspberry beaujolais beurre blanc w/ spinach risotto one of the best dinners I’ve ever had. My husband loved his escargot, shrimp entree and key lime pie off the Wedn prix fixe menu. Beautiful ambience and such gracious attentive service. They brought us champagne for the occasion too. LOVED!!

    The seafood was excellent, local fish with Latin and Mediterranean flavorings. Scene was nicely softened from a few blocks up but still some crazy people watching.

    This is the best seafood restaurant in the south beach Miami deco district. We’ve been here several times prior to cruises, and the food and service is consistently excellent. Last night my wife and I both had rhe Shrimp Scampi Provincale. We both thought rhis dish was the best we ever had! We also enjoyed a side of tasty mashed potatoes with leeks. The key lime pie with pecan crust lived up to its award winning reputation. We ate outside which gave it a festive atmosphere.Their talented singer/ guitarist did a combination of oldies and Latin songs that added to our pleasure. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. All in all a top notch experience. We highly recommend!!
    A Fish Called AvalonResponded on April 16, 2025
    Dear Bill, Thank you for your glowing review! We’re honored to be your go-to spot before cruises and thrilled to hear the Shrimp Scampi and Key Lime Pie were highlights. Dining outside with live music truly makes it special—thank you for recommending us! Best regards from us at A Fish Called Avalon.
