We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's birthday here! The entire evening was a success, and the food was incredibly tasty. We highly recommend the Brussels sprouts appetizer, followed by the delicious steak and scallops. Finishing with the beignet for dessert was the perfect end. Our waitress was also very attentive and made the experience smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend this spot!

Wonderful service all around and the food was excellent. We shared the salmon entree and enjoyed our free birthday desserts. Thank you for a wonderful birthday celebration.

As a local, it's one of our favorite places for fine French food with California influences. It's on the beach, beautiful outdoor seating paired with excellent wines, food and service. It is casual excellence personified. We love Blue Moon for lunch or dinner and recently had a wonderful anniversary dinner that was outstanding.

This was a lovely restaurant to dine at. We had a quiet table near a fireplace. The service was good. We split a wedge salad, which was very tasty. I had the chicken with risotto. My husband had the filet mignon. Both were delicious. We had tiramisu for dessert that was nice. It was a very cozy and comfortable experience. I would recommend to anyone!

Our waitress on came by when dropping off food. Ordered the halibut was nothing like described, very dry no flavor was supposed to have coconut rice was plain white rice the salsa on the fish was 2 pieces of diced tomatoes and a few diced pineapple. Order a drink tasted terrible like it had old pineapple juice in it. Would never go back 47.00 for a dried out 3x3 piece of halibut and plain rice

We did not have the best experience. We waited quite a long time to be seated even though we had a reservation. Then we were seated in a room with no other people. The Brussels sprouts and beet salad were delicious. Warm bread was appreciated. Our relatives enjoyed their steak. Our salmon dish was not good. The polenta was cold and the salmon was not fresh. We did very much appreciate the fresh brewed decaf coffee

Stanley

The food was great, service was great. It's pretty close to a busy road so it was a bit noisy but we appreciate how close it is to the Bob Jones trail where we like to ride bikes

My wife and I had a delightful dinner the other night at Gardens of Avila. The food was delicious and my salmon was cooked to perfection. The Ambiance is wonderful and it's quite enough that you can actually hold a decent conversation. A truly delightful place!

As a local, I appreciate that this place balances refinement with comfort. The bar and terrace are great for a casual meal too, and the kids’ menu is surprisingly solid. Nice to have a place that treats all guests well.

Fish was dry/unedible - sent it back and got raw fish....don't eat it, server never asked how the 2nd one was and charged us for the raw fish

The ambience and service is great! The meals were mediocre (too much dressing) and a bit over priced.
