Avalon Restaurant Review:


In a destination-dining town such as West Chester with dozens of good restaurants, Avalon distinguishes itself with chef/owner John Brandt-Lee’s attention to detail, commitment to fresh and local ingredients sourced from nearby farms like Blue Moon Acres and Shellbark Hollow, and his creative take on rustic Italian fare. Try a flight of artisanal cheese paired with house-made charcuterie served from the display in the dining room. You can't miss with any of the seasonal vegetable dishes; grilled vegetables come with spicy, smoked mayo. Pastas might include fettuccine with shrimp in a blush cream sauce or lamb Bolognese over pappardelle. Or select a wood-fired pizza topped with short ribs, blue cheese, fig jam and ricotta. Appealing desserts, think white chocolate panna cotta, are made in-house. Visit for the Aperitivo hour for a complimentary antipasto buffet and drink specials.
