Editorial Review for Carmen Anthony Fishhouse of Avon – by Michele McCole Moss and Sana Butler
The Scene
The owner might have begun his restaurant career with a degree in "Hamburgerology" from McDonald's University, but all that's remained from those days is prompt service. White linen covers the tables both inside the large dining room and outside on the seasonal patio. The decor is simple but elegant, as are the food presentations.
The Food
The appetizers are so good, entrees may go untouched. The house crab cakes are lump crab meat encased in a golden crust of potato strings. Fried lobster tails are light without a trace of grease. All fish selections can be poached, broiled or blackened at your request, but servers can suggest the best cooking method. The steaks are as good as the seafood, with a buttery consistency that'll melt in your mouth.

Well-Done DisclaimerIf you order your steak well and don't like the taste you're out of luck: A disclaimer on the menu absolves the restaurant of responsibility.

Went for our anniversary and was completely disappointed. Very loud atmospere and food was just okay. Dessert was very good but overall just not worth the price.
Pros: dessert
Cons: price, poor food
