I'm giving this place 1 stars based on my experience only, not our overall experience.  \n\nMy husband and I made a reservation for Avalon while vacationing in Scottsdale.  I had picked up a groupon earlier in the month, anticipating our upcoming trip.\n\nThis was our \"second\" try at dinner for the evening and if you follow my reviews, it's obvious that I certainly give credit when it is due. \n\nArrived at Avalon and thought...looks like a cool place, host was nice (was also the bartender and waiter).  He seated us outside, as we requested, and immediately brought us a wine list.  I am quite picky about my wine, so I had a few questions regarding the list.  He was very nice and accommodating.\n\nAfter choosing our wine, we ordered.  I ordered a salad (maybe arugula) (and my husband ordered a soup (lobster bisq (I think).  Soup and salad was fine...nothing out of the ordinary.  For an entree, I ordered the Snapper and my husband ordered the Filet.  \n\nOur entrees were served and my husband's was so over cooked.  He usually doesn't say anything or send anything back, but he said it was terrible.  My snapper was ok, but a bit overcooked as well.  It wasn't flaky, but was a bit tough.  \n\nWhen we spoke to our server regarding my husband's meal, he was a bit aloof (as compared to his super friendly attitude initially) .  My husband told him that the filet was completely over cooked and he offered an alternative.  At this point, I was partially done (I'm a fast eater), but I convinced my husband to get something else.  He ordered the pork and in the meantime, a soup was brought which was a very nice gesture, but kind of funny bc my husband had a soup initially.  \n\nWell the pork was brought out and it was completely raw in the middle, not pink, but raw.  I know they were trying to hurry to get something out, but this obviously, didn't work.  \n\nI would guess this place will be out of biz in 6 months, if not sooner.  Don't waste your time or money.
