Avenue 5 - bankers hill

Restaurant week was definitely a hit at avenue 5. Since the renovation, the lofty interior with brick walls covered with modern art, low kit lighting and exposed air ducts, create a casual and sophisticated dining environment.

The wild beet and arugula salad, mixed in a light lemony herb cream dressing coating only the bottom of the plate, reflected fantastic beet selections, no canned beets here!


The Samoan Tombo, a healthy tuna serving, encrusted with black and white sesame seeds, overlaid on cabbage and red pepper slaw, bathed in a rich butternut sauce.. Absolutely phenomenal:


The tender pork loin, served with homemade mashed potatoes, a rich currant stocky sauce and grilled peaches in an exquisite presentation to absorb all the flavor.. :


The champagne sorbet, refreshingly crisp and light, cleanses the palate:


The bread pudding, rich banana drizzled with a caramel sauce and vanilla bean ice cream:


Fabulous times at avenue 5..
