Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Avon

My husband and I are in town for the WWETT show and decided to try it out and omg..AMAZING food!! Some of the best Italian food we have ever had. Everything we had from the bread to the dessert was excellent. The short rib ragu and rigatoni vodka were chefs kiss!!! The homemade pasta is freakin delicious!! We also had the calamari, market green salad with the delicious lemon vinaigrette and the soup of the day which were all fantastic. The service was also amazing. Our waitress Kendra was super friendly and made great recommendations. The atmosphere is very relaxing as well. We loved it so much, we made reservations for another dinner before we leave town. Highly recommend!! You won’t want to miss!!

Lovely brunch surprise with D.F. (It was his spur of the moment idea!) He got his usual chicken and waffles breakfast while I took in the delicious short rib risotto. A view of the beautiful churning of the reservoir in wintry weather and being nicely taken care of by the always suave Mr. Lonnie made for a wonderful after-church meal.

I have been to Salt numerous times, but this was my husband's first time eating here. He really liked it. We started out with the Skillet Bread & Crab Rangoons. Both were delicious. The skillet bread comes with this honey butter which is so tasty. And the crab rangoons were filled with so much real crab meat. Just awesome. For his entrée, he got the Pan Seared Diver Scallops w/ mashed potatoes. He decided to try two different sauces. The Lemon Butter & Chili Sauce. The lemon butter definitely fit better with the scallops. I ordered Miso Sable Fish w/ Mashed Sweet Potatoes. And I got my fish with the caramel soy sauce. The fish was so buttery and light. Fit so well with my sauce selection. I wish my mashed sweet potatoes came with some cinnamon butter or brown sugar. Felt like they were missing something. For dessert we got the Crème Brulee. It was so delicious!!! We will definitely be back.

It had been over half a decade since we’d been to Traders Point, but after seeing their Valentine’s Day menu, we decided it was worth making a Valentine’s Day mini weekend of it. The Harpist music was subtle enough for background, but loud enough to enjoy. Once we realized she was playing pop music songs, we enjoyed guessing them. We ordered the Valentine’s Day Flight half because my wife wanted to see how they were garnished. She really like the bold orange elder flower mimosa and lemon lavender French 75. Will try and recreate at home, you can se me the garnishes in pictures. Orange peel opened up like a rose bud in the Negroni. I had their Honey Bunch (take on a manhattan), pecans work well with Bourbon and honey, who knew? Pecan crumble garnish made it festive and change the taste. And then a Feisty Cabernet Sauvignon to go with dinner. We added a cheese and meat charcuterie board to accompany the meal. Favorite was a goat cheese from California that had Moon in the name of the creamery, we are calling to see if we can be reminded of the creamery. Their own award winning cheese was very good as well. We happily finished everything in the board. We both really like my wife’s crab stuffed shrimp starter. I had meatballs that were a little undercooked in the middle for wife’s preference, but I was quite happy. We are on opposite ends of the cooking temperature spectrum. We were both really happy with our mains. Porkchop with spiced seeet potato swisschard for her and filet with added blue cheese whipped potato brussel sprouts for me. Don’t sleep on the Ice Cream Sundae. It’s a creamery. With house made toffee crumble. Best sundae ever. She liked her cherry chocalate cheesecake, but brought most of it home. And of course on the way out, bought 2 bottles of chocolate milk to take home to the kids. If you are from out of town, always bring a cooler to Traders Point.

Best authentic curries that we’ve found in our area. The flavors were delicious. Great food and great place for a relaxing meal.
