Best Seafood Restaurants in Avon

We initially went to Ocean Prime to celebrate my wife’s birthday with no expectation other than her choice for seafood. Based on past experience I didn’t have this restaurant as one of my favorites. However, our experience today changed my opinion of this restaurant. The hostess set the tone for us with the heart felt greeting. It was sincere and my wife felt it. As we set at the table our waiter “Joe” greeted us enthusiastically which again made us feel that much more welcome. He provided an extensive overview of the menu and specials with great accuracy. Joe showcased his knowledge by allowing us to provide input and then giving recommendations to best suit our taste buds. Since it was cold outside I opted for coffee. I wasn’t prepared for the coffee I tasted. I pride myself on a good cup of coffee but this coffee was amazing! I asked Joe the name of the coffee he stated it was local provider by the name of Hubbard and Cravens. I have never of it but will surely remember and find out the location. This is the closet to one of the top Jamaician coffee I have tasted in years. Next, bread was brought to the table that just as tasty as any bread I have in long time. The pretzel bread was my favorite. I could have eaten a whole plate of it. As an appetizer I ordered the lobster bisque soup. Without question one of the top soups that rivals the lobster bisque soup I tasted often while living in Massachusetts. For the main course I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass that included broccolini, Pearl Onions, Potato Purée, and Truffle Vinaigrette. Sides included Mac n cheese and sautéed spinach. By this time I was full to capacity but paced in anticipation of what was to come for the grand finale. While waiting for the main course I drunk a pot of coffee and asked for another one and more bread. Although I didn’t have much room left I managed to taste the goodness of the Chilean Bass meal. Utterly melting in your mouth.

Our waiter Chris is the best and the bartender is the greatest!! Also the owner is so welcoming. The whole atmosphere is great!

Food was hot and fresh, service was fantastic. We’d never eaten out in Christmas before but we may have just started a new tradition!

The food tastes great and the service is very friendly and fast. The appetizers and desserts are very good and the Mary’s mashed potatoes are fantastic. My only complaint is the noise level due to to the way the restaurant is laid out if you’re at a table in the middle and they butterfly cut my filet mignon to cook faster but I don’t like it when restaurants do that. Overall we will continue to come back when our budget allows. So thankful they were open Christmas Eve.

It was a very busy Christmas Eve dinner service at peak time, so I give our server, Brian, lots of credit! He took good care of us and was attentive and when our side was late, he not only took it off our bill, but also gave us dessert on the house. A+ service! Food was good, especially the cranberry chutney on the bacon steak. I would put that on anything!
