I went to Avenue B with my sister, whose boyfriend used to be a chef there.\n\nI was not sure if she was a little impartial towards it for that reason. I have to say, the food and ambiance was great. it is small, BYOB, and they write their menu on large chalkboards every night. \n\nWe had an apple/fennel/gorgonzola salad. I had the kobe meatloaf and she had a grilled wahoo. For dessert we shared the lavender cake with panna cota. All of it was terrific. The kobe meatloaf was especially delicious and I really enjoyed the flavor.\n\nOnly downfall- it is hard to get in (apparently you don't come unless you have a reservation) and it is quite pricey. The plates are all decorated and the portions are very small - in high end restaurant fashion. I dont mind spending $ on food when it is as tasty . . .  so all in all I would probably go back again, maybe on a date night.
