Avenue 805 Description:
Across from the Science Museum in the Fan, Avenue 805 offers Italian-inspired cuisine and a huge wine list divided by region. Part of the cozy, candle-lit decor includes local artists' work, which rotates monthly.
Step into this intimate restaurant, and cookbooks atop wine racks reveal that a passionate culinarian is in residence. Try a special, such as seared tilefish over herbed Israeli couscous, and the complexity of tastes communicates that the passion is paired with serious training. Indeed, chef-owner Jeffrey Baird, after cooking at Comfort, purchased Avenue 805. He's maintained much of the inherited menu, including its many pasta permutations, but he has added his own touches. Signature Chicken 805 dresses chicken breast with Taleggio, sautéed spinach and marinated portobello. His wife manages the front, and they foster a sense of community, making the eatery the kind of place for the neighbors on Grace and Monument to frequent. One other thing retained: Cheap Date Nights. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, a three-course dinner served family-style and a bottle of wine can be had for $35.
