I can’t believe how long these posts can last. Here is one or two of my experiences with Avalon and Bizou. I had both great food with my favorite local desert their tar ta tan. One night I approached the Resturant and Beverly was headed home. Knowing my personal coffee taste she turned her car around, made my coffee, and brought it to my table. All without me knowing she returned until she brought the coffee to my table.
The health facility I work for was being treated to a seminar at the Avalon. Having been so well treated by the staff at both restaurants, I made it my business to meet Beverly. When she was the host at the seminar I couldn’t help but visit with her and was flattered by all the attention she paid our group. NO Not One left hungry or pleased with our experience.

All in all that person’s assertions just don’t add up to anything other than Internet snarkola. The multiple names, the sandwich (or) rib and cake dinner, the bizarre Yelp entries, the desperate self-credentialing as a “high echelon” world traveler, not to mention the over-the-top slam against this new restaurant. And apart from all that, what person with “an experienced palate” goes to an upscale restaurant to pig out, anyway? You go to a steak house or buffet for that. You go to Bizou to take your time and savor the delicacies.

Ms. D. (coward that you are, this may not be your real name at all)
I think you should go back to all those “fine” restaurants all over the world you’ve eaten at and stay away from Humboldt altogether.
You are undermining good things people are trying to do with your negativity.
If you knew Beverley at all, you would know she’s a single mother who’s raised her son to be a fine man, and works hard – opening a 2nd business is not easy. It’s admirable no matter what country you are in. What kind of sister are you, anyway?
Shame on you.
Your ranting is not intelligent, it has made you look like a fool.

It will never cease to amaze me how, in the higher echelons of society, (of which I do frequent), a merchant can delicately package a chunk of horse puckey with a gold bow on top, stick an incredibly high price on it, and it will sell like hot cakes to those who have a need to impress each other with their truly “disposable” income.

Unfortunately, in this remote region of the North Coast, certain restaurateurs have to advertise of Craigslist for fry cooks whose most recent experience appears to be the kitchen at Denny’s.

I have been in many fine restaurants, all over the world…and I have an experienced palate.
“Kevpod” – it was just our misfortune that Safeway didn’t happen to have steaming Beef Bourguignon ready to go…after leaving the tiny inedible portions of shriveled octopi at Bizou that night.

Janice-Jim-Danielle, fancier of sandwich, rib and cake dinners, rest assured, your credibility is unassailable.

Jim is my boyfriend, I’m Janice, Danielle is my middle name that I most commonly go by.
Ribs, sandwiches, AND cake…all to Safeway’s credit, were better fare than we found at Bizou.
Happy to clear that up for you, since you seem to be more concerned with that than with offering your customers a satisfying dinner.
We honestly attended opening night at Bizou with an open mind, but were disappointed with the overcooked meat, the high prices, and the sad location. We were honestly hoping for a better experience.

And for the record, we DO like other restaurants in town, and we have given them glowing reviews.

Re: kevpod’s comments on 6/28 about the general populace making every restaurant name possessive, no matter what: it’s a pet peeve of mine and I thought I was alone! Thanks for sharing.

Oh boy, here we go again! Jim Janice Danielle, whomever, is back on Yelp and who knows where else, slamming Avalon and or BIZOU. I guess she/he/it just likes stirring up the sand in our sandbox too much to leave…sigh..request goes out to our appreciative guests and fans..please post your honest reviews on Yelp, Urbanspoon, Citysearch, Tripadvisor and anywhere else you may choose. We need the support. Avalon and BIZOU are happy to be reviewed truthfully, and we need your comments now to drown out the untrue slams Jim/Janice/Danielle are dishing out, because in fact it hurts our image falsely. All we are trying to do, is run a business in a tough economy, by working hard, tenaciously, and doing our best to do things right. As always, I will always personally address any concerns, suggestions or issues, we want to be right for you!

At this juncture, I must now leave the sandbox of reader comments on this topic, I have much work to do and cannot afford the distraction or the stress of this..nor should I inflame the vindictiveness of this person whom has picked us out to defame….watch out for Jim/Janice/Danielle, if he-she-it wanders into YOUR business, you may find yourself defending everything you’ve worked toward, against a bonafide fruit loop.

The plot thickens. “Janice Dickens’” review posted here now appears on Yelp under the name “Jim M.” This version goes with the post-meal sandwiches from Safeway rather than the ribs and cake.

Jim/Janice also slams a Crescent City attorney, but likes the Cha-Cha Lounge in L.A.

So, what we know at this point is that (s)he is a peripatetic person of varied tastes, not to mention identities.
