South City Kitchen Avalon

The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and a pleasant atmosphere, and the service was friendly and attentive. We especially appreciated the quality of the drinks and the overall setting. That said, I was somewhat disappointed with the food. The pork belly was flavorful, but the portion size (three small pieces) felt overpriced for what was served. The fried chicken was average and did not stand out. The mashed potatoes were served cold, and the green beans tasted as though they may have been canned. The soup was mediocre, and the farro salad lacked seasoning and depth of flavor. The Wagyu beef cheek was decent, and the duck was the highlight of the meal. Bread came almost an hr later and was really dry. Given the pricing, I had higher expectations for the overall culinary experience. While

We recently hosted our company holiday party in the private dining room, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Meghan, Rico, and Heather were an absolute joy to work with. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate our needs truly set them apart. Because of their seamless coordination and hospitality expertise, I was able to fully enjoy the event and spend time with our team instead of worrying about logistics. Every detail was handled with care and precision, reflecting the high standards of both the restaurant and hotel. If you’re planning a corporate event and want a team you can trust to deliver excellence, this is the place. I couldn’t recommend them more highly. We’ll be back!

Atmosphere inside is very nice. Our waitress was attentive. The fried Chicken was more fried than chicken and the regular menu is not available during brunch. The drinks were strong and good 😁 I did like there small biscuits and sweet cornbread they bring out before your meal.

A great place to dine if you are a meat lover, not so great for vegetarian options, but the vegetarian dishes they have are good. Loved their breads too. Not a lot of choices in non alcoholic drinks but what I got was good. Good place for office outings.

They serve brunch from 8am until 2pm. Their menu changes seasonally. Shawkat my waiter is so kind and knowledgeable about the dishes and described the flavors and nuances perfectly. The green fried tomatoes benedict is wonderful as are the biscuits, mimosas and the crab soup! Came back for the heavenly Shrimp & Grits! My waiter Shawkat made the experience sunny and fun! Will be back soon!
