Amazing A+ lunch all around: ordered the coconut margarita. Sand dab was the most amazing fish I’ve ever had! Cod like and tastes like sugar. They modified my au gratin potatoes to be gluten free. Also steamed spinach. Local Tuna poke. Yum!
We stopped in here for lunch. The waiter said they could make many of the items gluten free and cook separate for safety. I ordered a gluten free burger, he said I couldn’t have the fries. Which was fine. They brought out my burger with fries. I was a little worried to eat here after this, but they did redo my food. I didn’t get sick, so that’s good.

Ate here 3 times in 3 days. Every waiter was knowledgeable and very accommodating. Food came out quick and was incredible! Probably the best lobster tail I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

The waiter we had was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Marked our dish as both GF and DF and had the kitchen make sure the dish was safe. He was really friendly and nice about it!
The food was super good too—had the swordfish with altered rice and the salmon.

I was told the tortillas were gluten free. I had other dishes that were obviously gluten free. (Ceviche and a salad). I was sick all night. Love the atmosphere and the overall experience was good. Just need to educate the staff as to the common fryer aspect of gluten free. I think so many are using the GF diet as a fad diet and it makes it difficult.
Waitress was knowledgeable about what I could and couldn’t have. Fish was amazing!

I had the Louie salad and it was great! Perfect light meal. :) Server seemed knowledgeable and didn’t hesitate to ask the kitchen about what she didn’t know. I also got to try my husband’s black & blue ahi and it was like butter.

Based on the waiter’s responses to my questions, he seemed knowledgeable about celiac. He told me the chef said he doesn’t cook with any gluten on the grill, so he can provide gf meals on the grill. My fish was delicious as well as the spinach and cole slaw. We tried to have dinner here at 6:00 on a Sunday night, but there was a 2 hour wait. Tonight we went at 5:00 and got in with no problem.

Food is decent. Waitstaff was very understanding and kind. I had the cioppino as recommended by another review, with squash on the side instead of bread. A little salty but safe! Enjoy :-)
Yes
My server, Rafael, was super helpful from the get go. He recommended what he thought would be best for me and took extra steps to make sure the cooks would be careful with my meal. I got the shrimp skewers with double veggies. Super yummy and an amazing view to go along with it!
Yes
Great salad and service! So happy they are still understanding gluten free!
Staff was super knowledgeable and pointed me to all the safe items on the menu. I ordered King Salmon with a side salad. Great spot!
Yes
They were very attentive to my dietary needs. The only issue was the bus boy brought bread to our table 3 times before remembering that we couldn't eat bread (hence the 4 verses 5 stars).
They don't have a separate prep area, but only fish with a little olive oil, salt, & pepper go on their grill. The server & kitchen staff seemed highly knowledgeable about cross-contamination, so it was relatively safe.
I got the cioppino, which was fabulous! They gave me grilled summer squash instead of the toasted bread at no extra charge, which I thought was very nice. My boyfriend got the grilled halibut with coleslaw & potatoes. All of it was delicious.
All in all we had a great experience & I didn't get sick, so I'd definitely go back when I visit Avalon again.
Amazing staff and the chef, Randy, was super knowledgeable along with the servers and hostesses. Seriously amazing food, and incredibly caring and careful handling. Super recommended.

Our waitress understood the seriousness of celiac disease and showed me what part of the menu to order from, essentially just the daily fish and a couple of salads. One of the previous waitresses there had celiac disease so some of the staff got to learn from her what was ok and what wasn't. However, later in the meal she offered me oyster crackers so she either forgot or doesn't know what's in oyster crackers. I got the crab salad and it was delicious and I didn't get sick.
My wife and I enjoyed the delicious Ciopino and swordfish. Our waitress was very knowledgable when it came to identifying what was gluten free on the menu and if it was questionable, checked with the chef. Although they don't have a gluten free menu, we were informed that many of their dishes could be made gluten free upon request.
The chopped salad with shrimp is gluten free as well as the dressing that comes with it! It was very good!
Yes
Love this place. Excellent food, great location, and very knowledgeable about cross-contamination. There are lots of options (even beyond what is listed on the separate gf menu, including the crab and artichoke dip), and the food is exceptional. The risotto and scalloped potatoes are now gluten free as well, despite an earlier review indicating otherwise. My brother is a very sensitive celiac and he has never been contaminated here.

The food was wonderful and the staff was very knowledgeable and took extra care to ensure my dish was gluten free and that my intolerance was noted. A lot of variety of gluten free options when it comes to the main dishes. Many of the fish can be prepared without flour or grilled plain. Unsure if they use separate cooking utensils as I am not sensitive to that kind of cross contamination.

Offered a gluten free menu and the server was knowledgeable about what items could work. Had the salmon, rice and green beans with no problems.

No gf menu was offered. I was assured a dish was gf and when it came out I asked again and it wasn’t. Staff was NOT knowledgeable. Manager was not helpful. I’m disappointed that a nice restaurant such as this has no clue.
