Whenever I'm in Catalina, this is the place I always return to for its excellent service and delicious food. They also have the best buffalo milk on the island!
I had a wonderful experience at Buffalo Nickel. The restaurant offers stunning views, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely meal. The variety of food and drink options was remarkable, and they even provide a complimentary shuttle service for pickups. We sampled the ceviche, which was outstanding, and the tacos were equally delightful. The ambiance and service were top-notch. I highly recommend giving it a try!
Escape the hustle and bustle of Avalon and discover this true gem! The food is absolutely delicious, offering a taste that's as close to homemade as you can get in a restaurant. One standout dish we tried was the chiles rellenos; the sauce was so exquisite that it elevated even the most basic cheese to gourmet status. The portion sizes are generous as well. The staff is friendly, and we had a wonderful time enjoying the patio.
This restaurant is located right next to the helicopter landing pad. Was excited to go eat and watch some helicopters land or take off, but none showed up. But I still had a wonderful time. The food was cooked perfectly. Service was terrific. The restaurant is definitely a vibe.
I am usually very self conscious in a new restaurant due to my being a vegan goofball... I usually tend to simply go for a quick easy app as to not ask for too much manipulation of the menu items. But my co worker asked the gentleman serving us what kind of veggie/vegan foods they have on my behalf which made me blush. He perked up and went through the ingredients in his mind and offered such a beautiful idea and solution for a meal. I was TRULY grateful for their kindness and that FANTASTIC Fajitas burrito!Gahh... Covered in green sauce and avocado on top... Mmm... With SOOOOO much like!Tremendous adoration for this place!?
