Editor's Description

Last updated: March 12, 2012

Avalon, a restaurant among the sea of Changle Lu boutiques, is casual fine-dining. The menu is a hybrid of a few simpler grilled items and fussier fine-dining. Lots of blond wood and big glass windows overlooking leafy Changle Lu. The glassed-in kitchen overlooks the dining room, and the dining room gets to watch the chefs scramble around their stainless steel aquarium.

A recent rainy night turned bright at Avalon. The dining room is warm, comfortable and not too cramped like many Shanghai places. You could actually hear your companion speaking in a normal volume, and weren't bothered by the conversation at the next table.The manager greeted us and explained the menu including the source for the main ingredients. He was very cordial and took some time with us which was appreciated.

We had the tiger prawn 70's salad that was pretty and nicely served tableside. Followed by the crab starter which was a little too moist, but tasty all the same. Our entree was a beef tenderlion special that was as advertised - beef, tender and cooked perfectly to order. All very nice.

Overall, a very nice meal in a very nice environment. The pricetag was just over 700RMB. the food is priced about what you would expect, and the wine is predictably over priced. I will go back again soon.

Very nice atmosphere as you walk upstairs to the dining room, a bit confusing as the hostess isn't right at the front but once she saw us she came right up as seated us. The decor is well coordinated to create cozy atmosphere and the tables aren't crowded next to each other like many other places so there is a feeling of privacy even though the dining room is open.

We were waiting for another person in our party and the hostess and wait staff was very attentive during this time. I had a glass of wine, the size is a little disappointing for the price but the wine was overall good. Ordered the salad and the chicken and mixed grill, the salad was nice but both entrees were very salty. It was disappointing given that the experience up to then was so good.

I'd recommend the place for dates because of the atmosphere and staff just be aware to mention to the server that the chef needs to go easy on the salt and you should be okay.

Overall a good experience, the atmosphere was nice and the service was excellent.

The food itself was good but uneven: the starter called "avocado" with tuna on top was definitely our favorite. The calamari was a bit disappointing.

Generally speaking prices are no jokes so go there on a date or with a valued client. We had the Enjoy card that gives 50% off so that helps.

The service was very good. Nice and professional.
