Description

At stylish Avalon - located in an unlikely part of south Scottsdale -- executive chef Travis Watson caters to guests at the adjacent 3 Palms Oasis Resort with standards like steak and Caesar salad, but adds a few twists to his California-meets-Mediterranean menu, like calamari "frites," polenta-stuffed prawns, and lovely desserts that reflect his pastry chef background.Feeling thirsty? The dope drink-mixers working the glowing bar at Avalon Scottsdale can slake your thirst with any of a dozen scintillating and exotic-sounding alcoholic concoctions. Check out their super-sweet take on the traditional caipirinha (made from a combo of cachaça, cane syrup, fresh lime, and a swizzle stick made with rock candy); as well as the delectable Africana Fiz (consisting of fresh lemon, Madagascan vanilla bean

    Off the beaten path for sure but definitely worth it! Located on McDowell and 77th St. in a pretty residential area, it's seriously a diamond in the rough. The food is amazing, the service is excellent, and the interior is stunning!

    Sometimes we don't mind skipping the sweet stuff at the end of the meal, because plenty of restaurants treat dessert like a sugary afterthought. But not Avalon.
