Avalon Grille $$$

★ 4.3 · New American · 423 Crescent Ave, Avalon, CA 90704

The Island Company's polished flagship on the corner of Crescent and Catalina — the closest thing Avalon has to a proper upscale dinner house. Floor-to-ceiling windows onto the bay and a serious central bar.

Descanso Beach Club $$

★ 4.4 · New American · 1 St. Catherine Way, Avalon, CA 90704

Avalon's only true beachside restaurant-bar, past the Casino — order a Buffalo Milk with your toes in the sand and stay all afternoon. Summer weekends bring DJs; winter hours shrink hard, so check before you hike over.

The Naughty Fox $$

★ 4.2 · New American · 111 Crescent Ave, Avalon, CA 90704

Trendy little bar-kitchen under the Bellanca Hotel with sidewalk high-tops facing the bay — the ahi poke nachos and mini lobster rolls have a real following. Kitchen runs Thu–Mon and stops at 2pm; the bar pours till 6.

Hours: Sun 9am–6pm · Mon 9am–6pm · Tue closed · Wed closed · Thu 9am–6pm · Fri 9am–6pm · Sat 9am–6pm
