We popped in to try somewhere new, and were not disappointed. Our waiter Pablo was extraordinarily helpful and sweet, and gave us some recommendations on what to do around the island. He also suggested the creme brulee which did not disappoint. We had the seared ahi, lobster mac and cheese, and pork chops - each one tasted excellent, they clearly put time and thought into the dishes. Thanks Pablo!

Outstanding halibut and the pork chop was cooked perfectly. Great ambiance and beautifully decorated for tge holidays. Excellent server. Ruston, was outstanding giving us ideas about the menu. He was kind enough to answer our questions about Catalina. An overall a terrific experience for out 50th Anniversary!

Delicious menu options including seafood, meat and vegetable sides. Service was excellent, Rushton was our server who knew so much about the island! Location is right along the waterfront, excellent place for dinner!

The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. The vibe was really nice - enough energy to be fun but quiet enough to enjoy dinner conversation.

We visited to celebrate our anniversary and had such a lovely experience. I really liked that it’s part of the Avalon Hotel, so we were able to use our daily hotel credit toward our meal, such a nice perk.
The Brazilian frites were our favorite dish, so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere made it a really special evening.
A great spot for a nice dinner while staying in Avalon.

This was the best meal we had during our weekend in Avalon. We ate at the bar, and both bartenders were excellent. The food was solid if a bit overpriced.

Excellent service, superb halibut and lovely cocktails (the strawberry mojito was delicious and the espresso martini was the smoothest one I’ve ever had)!
I had my best meal during my visit to Catalina at the Avalon Grille and I highly recommend this eatery for the quality of their food as well as great service. I ordered a halibut entree and the raspberry tart for dessert. Do yourself a favor and don’t miss out on dining at this restaurant.

Stephane was an amazing host and sommelier. The food was also amazing. Got the branzino which was so delicious. We went back for a wine tasting session which occurs every Friday evening and Stephane was so wonderful that we went back twice. The tastings were delicious and the food pairing was perfect. The ambiance and experience was beyond our expectations. Mahalo for such a wonderful experience and congratulations on your prenuptials!

We came to Catalina to celebrate our engagement unfortunately we found it hard to get good service on the island, however when we went to the Avalon Grill on our last night, we had the best server and his name was Jimmy. He knew his menu and guided us to the correct options. He was very patient And kind. Thank you jimmy.

I want to commend both Sergei and Lindy for their impeccable service and outstanding attitude. Their dedication to their profession is clear and gave me the experience I always look for when dining “well”. Secondly, I want to say “kudos” to the chef(s) for a well presented and delectable meal. We had the Brazilian steak and the Creekstone pork chops. Amazing and delicious! Finally, we couldn’t resist dessert! The infamous “Candy Bar”! A perfect ending to a perfect experience! Thank you Avalon Grille.
