For those who think that fine dining on Catalina Island means a buffalo burger or a hefty portion of fish and chips, there is a refreshing new option in the heart of downtown Avalon.
The Avalon Grille is Catalina’s newest culinary sensation, located conveniently on the harbor facing the green Pleasure Pier. Open since May of 2011, The Avalon Grille has raised the bar of dining alternatives on the island. Guests are welcomed to an inviting dining room, decorated in the relaxed tropical motif of British Colonial style. Nearly every table has a view thanks to floor to ceiling windows that feature Avalon Harbor. The walls are covered in historic images of Catalina’s past, and a sizeable oil painting of the Avalon Casino comes from the Wrigley family collection. William Wrigley Jr., the famous chewing gum magnate, purchased the island in 1919.
The menu features classic preparations of steak and seafood, as well as some comfort selections like BBQ beef brisket with cheddar mac and cheese. Of course, Catalina traditionalists will be happy to find an excellent buffalo burger on the menu, updated with a gourmet pairing of parmesan truffle fries.
The Avalon Grille is a new Catalina classic with a sophisticated island state of mind. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind after a full day of island fun.
