Avalon Eatery Coming Soon to Avalon Park

Many of you have contacted us asking our timeline...we feel like it’s been a month of Sundays, but we’re getting there! Here is a breakdown of what has happened and what’s to come...

We are waiting on our licensing from Tallahassee along with our final beer & wine. Once that happens, we’ll move very fast. We hope to open our doors within the next 3 to 5 weeks... fingers crossed that we are closer to three than five! This is the hurry up and wait part...

Painting and prep are now complete. All appliances in the back of the house are in place. The old diner signage has been removed and our Avalon Eatery signs are being fabricated. We’re actively working on decor and having a blast with it...a fun and eclectic theme that will complement our award winning very diverse urban fusion menu.

We are a green restaurant and repurposing as much as we can. We spent the last two weeks finding unique chairs and have now completed our collection. We are going to paint them black so even though they are different they will all be ‘the same’.

All our tabletops are being made with repurposed wood. Our 7’ custom round table was delivered over the weekend and includes a 36” Lazy Susan to add even more personality to the round front room which will be a semiprivate dining space for groups up to 14.

Our walls are being decorated with moss and mirrors and lots of fun repurposed accents. Lighting and sound systems are being installed this week.

Soon, we will actively start our hiring process. We have so many positions available and we’re looking forward to meeting many of you then.

Some fun background. We are a family-owned business (husband and wife) and will always be onsite to greet and service you. When you walk through our doors, you’re our family. Angie is known to be ‘everyone’s Nonna’.

Claudio was born in Buenos Aries Argentina and came to the states in the 60’s as a young boy. Angie is second generation here. Angie’s ‘Nonna’ came to the states in 1902 from Calabria Italy. Their Italian and Argentine background has influenced their menu which includes hand pressed empanadas and a full gnocchi bar.

Angie & Claudio have four grown children and four grandchildren which all together they have grown their family to 14. They are native New Yorkers, and their passion is in the kitchen. They are a fun, creative, and sassy family that so much enjoy what they do.

We are sharing some behind the scenes photos...If you pass the restaurant and we are there working...pop in and say hello. We cannot wait to meet you!
