I've visited Avalon a few times now and have always benn impressed by the food and the service. On the first couple of occasions it was rather cold, but then I think that they were just finding their feet. What impressed me particuarly on the last visit was that we had booked a table in the restaurant for an early sitting on a Friday night and at 11pm our group was still at the table. It's great to see a London pub / restaurant not asking for their table back. Lets hope this doesn't change as word gets out about this new gem in Clapham South.
