Found VMC here on rateclubs, while looking for a place to go before seeing Dirty Dancing at the Pantages. Our rezzies were right at 6 (opening time) on Saturday - we were shown our table right away, and our waiter, Travis was at our table within seconds. Our group of four ladies ordered the guacamole fresca for appetizer - perfect with the chips and salsa/bean dip freebie. Two of us ordered drinks from the bar, I had the Royal Velvet (YUM) and another ordered the Blue Velvet (her only comment was that it was a tad strong). Dinner came next... the three with me all ordered the chicken enchiladas, which they said were VERY good. I had the Salmon de Martin, which was fantastic. All the food was very fresh, and very hot. Oh, and I had the Shrimp Tequila Bisque, which was a spicy start to my meal. We didn't go into the bar itself, but you could see the oversized screens above the partition - so we watched Elvis' Fun in Acapulco while we dined. Can't wait to take hubby back - its a fun place to go. The booths are very spacious - VMC made good use of their limited space without cramming more tables in. BTW, I HIGHLY recommend rezzies - as we were walking out around 7:15, I heard the Maitre'd tell a new arrival that a table would be 1-1/2 hour wait.

Great place to find you're favorite DJ's and hip bands. Always good music and great sound system to match the talent that this place attracts. Pre-order your tickets, as shows tend to sell out and door prices are steep when available. Be prepared for crowds; everyone knows and loves Avalon. This place could easily double it's space and still sell out. Check their site on-line for advance tickets and super low rates on all the best DJ's in town.

1 star for the nice door person. I guess a lot of people complain about them. Perfectly polite to me. 2 star for the cool interior, bathrooms, and quick bar service. 0 stars for the crowd and ambiance. Problem was that it was a "special event" on a Saturday and it was empty. Not entirely empty. But empty enough to be like - what's going on here. Not sure how they'll stay in business if it keeps up. If I pay a substantial cover and jump through the hoops I'm going to hope the place is crowded.
