Avalon is a neighborhood BYOB offering casual dining in a stylish–upscale environment. Owners John & Michelle Brandt Lee and their staff strive to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for every guest. In cooler weather, guests enjoy sitting by the romantic wood-burning stone fireplace and in warmer weather, they dine by the fountain in the covered outdoor garden. An upstairs dining room provides a quieter atmosphere and private dining for parties of up to 35.

In the kitchen, John Brandt-Lee creates Rustic Italian cuisine using quality ingredients and simple preparations. His menu changes seasonally to emphasize produce from local farms including, Blue Moon Acres, Shellbark Hollow & Pete's Produce.

Avalon has quickly made the “Favorite Restaurant List” of numerous food critics, including Rich Pawlek of ML Magazine, Lisa Monty of County Lines Dining In Style and The Philadelphia Inquirer's John V.R. Bull & Katherine Quillman. Joy Manning of Philadelphia Magazine gave the restaurant a B+ for food and an A for service.In his review, Philadelphia Inquirer Food Critic Craig Laban wrote, "...Maybe you can't please everyone all the time, but Avalon tries at virtually every turn...", Eric Ruth of Delaware News Journal said, "...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." Avalon received Main Line Today magazine's award for “Best Fish Dishes” and a Zagat rating of "Excellent" for 7 years.
