One of the best places to eat lunch on Catalina Island is Antonio's Cabaret.  I highly recommend you take a table out side which has a great view of Avalon Harbor.

A herd of American Bison roam, supposedly first imported to California's Catalina Island in 1924 for the silent film version of Zane Grey's Western tale, The Vanishing American.  The buffalo heard is now maintained by the Catalina Island Conservancy.
