Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Avon-by-the-Sea

Olde Silver Tavern is a great place for casual dining. This re-incarnation of the original Silver Tavern which burned down years ago is a great addition to the local dining scene. There are two dining rooms and a large bar area. There are creative cocktails on the menu. The menu has something for everyone. You can order casual food or have entrees. My wife and I opted for two craft cocktails. My wife opted for the Coffee Anyone?, their take on an Espresso Martini. I went for the El Elegante, a refreshing tequila based cocktails. Our waitress, Emma, was friendly and helpful. She was attentive and would check in with us periodically. We opted for a casual meal tonight. My wife had the French Onion Soup from the regular menu. I had a white bean and escarole soup from the specials menu. Both were outstanding and the portion was more than adequate. My wife went for the Turkey Club which comes with a side of french fries or home made kettle chips (other sides are available for an upcharge). The sandwich was large and she took half of it home with some of the kettle chips. I opted for the Firebird Sammy. It's a spicy fried chicken sandwich made with thigh meat so it was nice and juicy. It also came with the kettle chips. Both sandwiches were tasty as were the kettle chips. Alas, no room for dessert. Maybe next time.

I’ve been to the Brooklyn location a few times and this place reflects it in terms of food. Very good. Our waitress did not seem to care much about us. I don’t know if it was that she was too busy in the other room but it seems like she didn’t want to be bothered by us which is hindering my review of this place. She never checked on our drinks or asked how our food was. Also for 2 people with apps, dinner and dessert we were there about 2.5 hours which in my opinion was very slow. As for the food. The calamari raccanati is delicious. The baked clams, some of the best I’ve ever had. The fried zucchini also very good. As for dinner we had chicken scarpariello which was on the bone and fantastic. Super juicy and has a good spice to it with the peppers. Very very good. And we also had chicken picatta which comes as 3 smaller chicken cutlets and a side. The lemon sauce had good flavor and the chicken was goood. The Brussel sprouts were delicious! Dressed we had affogato which was delicious and the tartufo was another favorite! Overall I do feel this place is a bit over priced for what it is. The service at least from our server was poor but management is very kind. The food is very good and I can see this being a place I frequent if the service was better

Absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was amazing. They had a special carmelized fig salad over arugula. It was served warm with goat cheese and pomegranates …best salad I’ve ever had. The entrees were delish and generous portions . I highly recommend the stuffed rigatoni with shrimp. For dessert we shared the pistachio tiramisu..so delicious. We will definitely be back. The chef came out a few times to check on everyone. Nice touch !!

There is nothing better than a menu with the right balance of options, consistently excellent food, top notch service, and an ambiance fit for all levels of revelry. Nicholas may not be in the kitchen as much as the old days, but he makes up for that as the consummate, colorfully shirted host. Plus where else can you still dine under holiday lights in January? And where else can you get the best ice cream in the world that is loved by all?

Food and service consistently good. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. This is a good restaurant especially if you you want Irish fare and good drinks.
