In celebration of its one-year anniversary, Avenue 5 Restaurant & Bar is thanking its customers with a limited-time three-course menu paired with a glass of Champagne for $35 through the month of October. Avenue 5 also introduces Savory Sounds, a live performance by notable jazz guitarist Elliott Lawrence, every Sunday in October, from 6-9pm in the restaurant’s dining room. “We are so thankful for the warm welcome and wonderful support we’ve received from our surrounding community since opening last year,” says owner and proprietor Colin MacLaggan. “Bankers Hill is such an amazing and eclectic neighborhood full of great people and so many historic, as well new, San Diego attractions.” Guests can choose from weekly selections of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Menu items include favorites such as Crispy Calamari to start, Duck Confit or Forest Mushroom Risotto as an entrée, and Chocolate Decadence for dessert.
