Avalon Restaurant - Katoomba

The restaurant we stumbled upon by chance and although I absolutely loved the decor and staff the meals themselves whilst not bad were fairly standard. My steak was perfectly cooked as was my husbands lamb however fairly bland and simplistic. Well worth a visit though

Great look and feel, straight out of the 60s. The food also out of the 60s in some respects. Decent size meals yes, fine dining no in terms of presentation. $10 per bottle very pricy for byo charge but overall a good experience in a different atmosphere.

Set in an old cinema, with funky decor and table settings that took me back to the 1960's, reminiscent of many family meals from my youth. A good range of really tasty food choices and drinks to go with it, highlighting local produce and wines, beers and cider. Staff were fun and friendly - a really pleasant meal if a little pricey ($100 for entrees, mains and a drink each). A great place for dinner if you're in Katoomba in the evening.

Seven of went for dinner on Saturday night and had a lovely evening. The food and service was good. The restaurant was packed but they were on top of it the whole time. We hadn't been for a couple of years as my favourite crumbed eggplant with mushroom sauce was taken off the menu and that was the one vegetarian dish on the menu. I had the polenta which was very tasty. Those who had the lamb said it was really good. The $10 corkage per bottle is a bit steep as the 'special' wine was $38 a bottle and was only average. We don't give a tip with the corkage is high, which is a shame because we like to recognise good service. We couldn't fit in dessert. We will go back again on a more regular basis, and would love it if they put the eggplant back on the menu.

This is a must either for hight tea on a weekend or a groovy friday night with music and dinner. The food is great and the place has heaps of ambience
