Chive: Sleek new restaurant surpasses its predecessor

First, it was Brewgrrs. Next came the
21st Street Taphouse. Then the space
sat empty. Frankly, empty was better.
But now, this sleek casual restaurant
at the eastern end of Miracle Mile has
been given a new life as the latest home
of Chive.
This is the marriage of a cool vibe
with good food that this space has
been waiting for. And it’s perfect as the
third home of Chive.
The big difference between the new

fireplace is a full-wall cocktail bar

Double doors open to a south-
