Blue Moon Over Avila

First time visit. The food was outstanding. They were short-staffed, but the young lady taking care of us did a wonderful job.

I had the pleasure of getting lunch with my parents and my girlfriend here. The food is nothing short of delicious idyllic French cuisine.

Between the 4 of us we had the French onion soup, the Niçoise salad, and two trio combos ( croque monsieur, salad and chowder)

In short, the view is heavenly, the service is impeccable, and the food is fabulous.

Throughly enjoyed the ocean view, escargot, Sangria, and staff. Definitely will be back.

Tuesday jazz night is the best! Great music, beautiful scenery, and the best French onion soup I've ever had.

Had the best meal here on Christmas Eve with the fam. I had the turkey dinner and it was great. My family was also all happy with their meals. The staff was exceptional going above and beyond for to make sure we were taken care of. Special shout out to Brian our server. Great guy who was so attentive and friendly. The guy who brought out the food was all smiles. Highly recommend.

Delicious mushroom ravioli dinner for me & salmon for my hubby! Our waiter D’Jole was awesome… so personable! Outdoor patio was lovely and it was Jazz night….bonus!

Amazing atmosphere, food, and service. Excellent location on the beach at Avila. Our waitress was top notch, friendly, funny, and knew her stuff. She hustled her butt off. She even convinced my wife to try escargot! It was our anniversary, and she and management took care of us. Definitely will be back!

Can only give 5 stars but wish I could give more! From the ocean views and comfortable bistro-style seating to the excellent food and the lovely staff, this place is 💯! We loved everything we ordered and the staff was very knowledgeable of the menu and wine list which we appreciated. French cuisine in an ocean view setting = perfection!

Wow. We were lucky enough to have Angela as our server who made our anniversary night perfect as was the food. From the support staff to the owner this is a first class place. And the food was amazing too. Loved watching the sunset as enjoying an amazing meal. A must go place.

The food tastes very good, and the French onion soup is great! Looking at the sea, listening to the guitars of street singers, and eating delicious food, it's so pleasant! It is worth mentioning that the service is super good. This is a restaurant worth trying.

Had lunch here/3 couples. Nice French brunch menu. Four people got the salad with a nice piece of salmon on it and two of us got the ham cheese mushroom veggie omelette that came with potatoes and a side salad. All were excellent and reasonably priced for being right on the boardwalk. Had a nice view of the sea. Interesting wine list. Friendly servers and since we were in a rush they got our orders out nice and quick. Would love to have dinner there at sunset!

Went there for our Anniversary in October 25th. It was very nice and Angie our server was wonderful. Weather was nice to sit outside at 7pm. We will be returning...

This is a really pleasant and beautiful place to have a sunset dinner. The ratatouille was so simple, and light, yet comforting. The counter outdoors looks directly out on the ocean, and they have fun wine flights that let you do French wine tasting, which feels rare in California.

Avila Beach feels so hidden, and so local, compared to touristy places nearby like Pismo Beach. The breezes there are warm and calm compared to farther north like Monterey or Half Moon Bay. I would love to come back again next time I am on a road trip.

Very good dinning experience. The food was delicious. We ordered the French toast, and sandwiches and both delicious. The French onion soup was
Perfect. Great views too.

Great vegan choices, including the avocado tartine. The daily special dessert was vegan the day I visited, a brownie a la mode. Both were very tasty! Nice outdoor patio with an ocean view. The staff is friendly and helpful too.

Beautiful experience at Blue Moon Over Avila! We started with mimosas and the charcuterie plate. I got the roasted butternut squash ravioli which was phenomenal. Tasted like fall! My friend got the French onion dip sandwich which stated was delicious. We ended it with the cookie skillet and profiteroles au chocolat. Such a nice day! Highly recommend sitting outside for a wonderful view of the ocean.

I have been to Blue Moon Over Avila plenty of times, and the food and services have always been excellent. The outdoor seating has a great ocean view, and it can get a little nipping, so bring a light jacket.

As a local, I would love to eat here more often though it's a high tourist area and the wait time varies.

Excellent french restaurant in Avila. Its right on the waterfront and lots of outdoor seating available. We had a tartare with quail egg. Also a Monsieur Sandwich. It was a hot day so also opted for a couple glasses of refreshing rose. Delicious and the perfect combo. The street musician on the skateboard was a disaster but what can you do. I think someone finally paid him to go away. Highly recommend.

You must eat here when you visit Avila Beach, and make sure you sit at the bar in the patio for the best views. The customer service and wait staff were excellent (shout out to Craig who made sure we were seated exactly where we wished to be and called us when the space was open, and ensured we felt very welcome at the restaurant). The food was also very delicious: I had the Catch of the Day which were scallops, with citrus flavors (orange, grapefruit), fennel, roasted garlic, and potato purée which is one of the best scallop dishes I’ve had in ages. My fiancé had the Louisiana Style Shrimp Pasta which was also quite tasty and prepared well (differently but it was exquisite). We look forward to dining here again!

Didn't eat, but it's clear there's an emphasis on quality service, here. And, of you want bonus points, curly haired Joe-lay(sp) is great at helping pick out great wines..
