The Avalon used to be an icon for fine beef. The last time I was there....and it will be the last time, was after they opened the new facility. The filet that I always had before, and used to be the finest beef I have ever had.......was inedible. There is no other way to describe it. It tasted like it was soaked in gasoline and then dropped into the coals to incinerate. And I ordered it medium rare. After two bites......one from the edge and one from the center, we both sent the meal back and left. In addition to the awful taste, the meat was full of gristle. It seems to me that the Avalon is sacrificing quality in order to pay for their new building, and shamefully disgracing the once fine name of the Avalon Supper Club. I mourn the passing of a once fine dining establishment.
