"...Maybe you can't please everyone all the time, but Avalon tries at virtually every turn, from its live jazz on weekends to the out-of-the-way upstairs dining room favored for first dates."
Craig Laban Philadelphia Inquire Food Critic

"...Right away, warm greetings roll your way. The smiles of staffers add bright charm to an already charming room, and their welcoming words bring an air of cordial civility that too many fine restaurants lack."
Eric Ruth of Delaware News Journal
