Best restaurants near me in Avalon, NJ

We had a wonderful experience at Pulpo, our server, Allison, could not have been more attentive and was assisted by an eager and hard-working crew who never let our water glass get half empty and quickly removed old items and brought new items to the table in a seamless and efficient manner. The menu had so many outstanding choices, but even then, the daily specials were so good that we could not pass them up as we ordered all 3 of the appetizer specials but ordered our entrées from the regular menu. We went with the Gorgonzola Gnocchi and the Branzino, both of which were sublime in how delicious they were! We had a wonderful decaf cappuccino for dessert, and they even gave us a complementary glass of homemade limoncello to finish off the evening. As it is BYOB we brought our own wine with dinner, but they recently began selling some local vineyards if you do not bring your own. Overall, a five out of five stars experience and would highly recommend.

It was a pre-fix menu & each course was delicious. The service was excellent.

Valentine dinner. But the staff was upbeat and the food hot, fresh and delicious. Out server Zooey was attentive and welcoming without hovering. We have eaten at all the restaurants in the group. We found our favorite.

Great service they hooked me up with the window seat I wanted for Valentine’s Day, food is always phenomenal so many choices that’s a good problem to have. This is our favorite place in SIC because they are so consistent. Even through the pandemic, the food quality the service has been rockstar quality keep up the great work. I went and bought a gift card right after dinner for my son

It was snowing so I decided to get take out instead. The woman at the desk was so kind. The food was delicious as always.
