"This is probably THEE BEST restaurant in the Avalon!!! Went here on the fly and was pleasantly surprised at how quick the food came out and how GREAT it taste!! Truly you could probably get full off of all the appetizers! If you can't make up your mind... get everything. Oh and I love the ketchup (it's not regular ketchup)"

"I had a really nice lunch with my girlfriend at The Cape at Avalon. I had a mocktail, a cocktail, and the blackened salmon, and everything was solid — no complaints at all. The food was pretty tasty, but the patio dining is what really made the experience stand out.
The atmosphere outside is beautiful and made the whole meal feel more special. Combined with the food and drinks, it was a great way to spend an afternoon.
I’d definitely come back, especially when the weather’s nice."

"Okay, listen up. The atmosphere is quaint. We wanted to sit on the rooftop but it was not open. We did get to sit outside. The inside is also beautiful. The waiter was very kind and attentive. We had the Smashburger which was delicious. It was fun to walk around the Avalon. Just a beautiful place to have lunch and enjoy just being."
