Avenue 5 Closing, Will Reopen As Tapas Restaurant

After six years in business, Avenue 5 Restaurant & Bar is closing. The Bankers Hill neighborhood eatery announced on their Facebook page that this is their final week in operation; their last service will be brunch on Sunday, April 7.

Chef-owner Colin MacLaggan, a native San Diegan and graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute in London, hints at a new project, so stay tuned.

As for what's next for the 5th Avenue location? A couple of tipsters have shared that the keys are being handed over to Ingrid Croce, who is expanding her restaurant holdings and may be opening a tapas-focused eatery in the space later this year.
