Restaurants près de Avalon Pier

Really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere (it’s the off season). Service was great - Joanna was super friendly and attentive! Food was well prepared and served well. Was also very tasty. The only reason for 4 stars were the quality of cocktails. Other than that everything was excellent. Definitely recommend.

The experience was fabulous, atmosphere welcoming and our server Alicia was wonderful, food was prepared well and the Banana desert is the best.

Javier’s has been my favorite Mexican food since his restaurant was located in Laguna Beach. I live in Texas with great Mexican food, but none other compares to the freshness and perfection of Javier’s! It’s the first restaurant I stop at and usually the last I go to when traveling to Southern California. I never thought I would give it 4 stars instead of 5. Still delicious, but the ambience of the remodel was loud and stark compared to the warm cozy atmosphere that was once one of the most uniquely beautiful places to dine. I understand they needed a bigger space, but I felt the lighting was more like being in an operating room. The music at lunchtime was extremely loud and clanging! I turn whoever I’m traveling with on to Javier’s, and this is the first time I was disappointed. I’m sure it may feel different at night. Waitstaff and food are still fantastic!

Sat outside and watched the ocean and crowd walking by. Relaxing time.

The view is priceless from their upstairs patio. You get a full view of the town, harbor and the grand casino. My wife and I had the portobello mushroom burger, and they were amazing. Great taste, and very filling. It’s the only restaurant on open table. Their sister restaurant has a bigger sushi and fish menu. We were there last December and the food was out of this world.
