Loved this place. The vintage original decor gives this place a cozy and charming feeling. The upstairs area was truly unique. We sat outside overlooking at the island while we enjoyed a Pina Colada, fish & chips, and my menu order was yummy. The fish was crispy to perfection, soft and tender. This location is walking distance to everything. Easy walk from the harbor and plaza area. Server was very attentive.

Love El Gallon! Casual, great food, fast service, full bar, lots of tv’s…what more do you need? This is a great place to eat, grab a drink, and hang for a bit while walking in Avalon!

Made a reservation via Open Table. When we showed up (on time), they said the kitchen had already closed. It was 6:45pm.
Claimed they didn’t use Open Table and I shouldn’t have been able to book that way. Showed them the reservation and they didn’t care.
I suspect it was just slow so, they wanted to close early. Really poor service.
Update: Saw your response and it was inadequate and misleading. What you should have done is stay open and honor the reservation. You made a DECISION to provide poor service to a customer to save money. You should, at least, own the decision. It wasn't an accident.

Horrible food. If you’d like to just get drunk and party, I guess this may be a good place for you.
I got the New York steak with “garlic mash potatoes”. The potato’s tasted like something out of an instant mashed potato box (no garlic?), super gross, the steak was chewy, asparagus slimy…waiter didn’t get the order right, forgot the shrimp we ordered and coleslaw…The coleslaw was just cabbage and mayonnaise.
Super expensive meal, subpar food and service. Finding that most restaurants on the island are “meh” and way over-priced.

Didn't honor a reservation. When we arrived at 6:45PM for a 7PM reservation we were told the "kitchen was closed" and that the reservation was a mistake because they don't use Open Table. Total lie. They closed the kitchen because they were slow (it's the off season) and didn't want to stay open for only our party. Didn't call, didn't care. Just closed the kitchen early and didn't honor our reservation. Good thing Blue Water didn't close early. Had a nice meal, there.

We visited at El Galleon for dinner on Saturday order the swordfish with baked potato and mac & cheese, as well as the Irish nachos, which are made out of a potato like skins Cali Hefeweizen beer and a blue Hawaiian cocktail, meal was good service was fast. We always try and go there and have a nice dinner with them every time we go to Avalon. Atmosphere was OK. It looks like an older restaurant but they met the standards. Service was good Nothing out of the world, but the gentleman was effective and efficient . That’s why we come back there every time we visit Avalon.

Food was recommended by a local. But we didn’t even go in. You are met by multiple blaring TVs. Not a cool cozy place to eat.

If you want karaoke you have to, “come back in February,” what a thing for the waitstaff to say at a place with, “eat drink sing,” on the wall.

The worst octopus I have ever eaten in a restaurant. It was rubbery and bland. Very disappointing. It took my wife 2 minutes to chew through a single piece.
The stopped in for a quick bite to eat. The hamburger was delicious. Tasted like it was cooked over an open flame. I'm not positive but boy was it good?
