Avenue 5 is still in business....
And yet it might not as well be, as far as we are concerned. Always *loved* Chef McLaggan. Classy place - outrageously tasty (if not surprising) food.
However, Avenue 5 has joined the "CucinaURbanization" of food in San Diego. By which I mean they now have lowered all the prices to "$20 or less" on entrees, made it more "casual" and "hip."
So....The place is more packed than ever. The service is still super-friendly. The atmosphere is nice.
And yet the food....has totally lost its deliciousness and specialness. It ranged from ok to tasty. I'm sorry, but tasty is not super-yummy. What happened to Colin McLaggan???? The salads there used to be outrageously good. Now there is a boring green salad. The fish dishes used to be wonderful. The salmon was eh.
No point in returning - so much for my #3 restaurant!!!!
