If you had been to Chloe in Playa del Rey you know what I mean. Chloe was by far the BEST restaurant in Los Angeles. I was saddened by Chloe's closure and ventured to Avenue last night for the first time. My date and I were seated on the heated patio (hesitant at first) and it was magnificent. Warm and quiet, it was fun to spend a ""winter's night"" outside. We ordered duck and bison, each was cooked to perfection. Our waiter (Harlan from Chloe) made perfect wine selections to accompany each course. I was thrilled to see that the famous Hot Chocolate dessert was still there. Chef Shaffer was not in, however his wife has taken over as manager. She is welcoming and goes out of her way to ensure your satisfaction. Congratulations on another true success. We will be back!
Pros: Food, Ambiance, Wine
