Avalon Gastropub - Kilauea

The food was actually very good. I gave 4 instead of 5 stars for two reasons. 1. The garlic on the garlic fries was slightly burnt 2. Just for having the Impossible Burger on the menu. I’m a vegetarian and I consider the Impossible burger to be an insult to both meat eaters and vegetarians. The Impossible burger is toxic waste that does not belong at a high end restaurant like this. On the upside my salad was delicious and I had the whiskey favored bread and butter pudding for dessert which was outstanding. My brother had Mahi Mahi fish which he found very good. Our server was attractive, friendly and very professional. The place has a great atmosphere and it was a memorable dinner. Vegetarian options: Not a great place for vegetarians. Beyond burger and Impossible burger I do not consider good vegetarian options. Give me black beans or tofu any day. But I don’t eat highly processed and genetically engineered products like the Impossible burger that are sponsored by Bill Gates .

Excellent food and service. Kauai North Shore expensive. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Delicious food, however, the wine list needs work. It was limited, and on the lower end. A good offering of a Chardonnay, a Pinot Noir, and a Cabernet Sauvignon would be a good start. A bigger variety would be even better. Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

OMG this place is so overly priced. We should have gone across the street to The Bistro better food for the money. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
