DINING REVIEW

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
Chive and its predecessor on Royal

Oh, the food was fresh and creatively
prepared at both.

But when you entered the old Chive,
instead of being seated at a table, you

at the counter. There, you chose what
you wanted (i.e., seared ahi tuna, flank
steak, grilled mahi-mahi) and what you
wanted it on (tacos, burrito, beans and

Then, you moved on to the next coun-

The first-floor foyer features
white chair rail and wainscoting,
and the staircase to the upper
levels. Throughout the house, the
creatively chosen furnishings and
design elements exude a beach vibe
– a stylish, tasteful one, with just a
smidge of whimsy. (Check out the
rocking toucan in the dining room.)

Also on the first floor is a private guest
suite, glowing with natural light that
enters through plantation-shuttered
windows. There is a pair of roomy
closets and a full bath with white mirror
and cabinetry, marble vanity top and
wheat-hued fiber wall covering.

Walking through this lovely, seaside
home, you’ll see other examples of
fine paper and fabric wall covering,
in appealing colors and designs
that perfectly complement the
furnishings.

Besides the stairs that lead to
the second level, there is a private
elevator that rises from the entryway
to the second and third floors.

The second level is open, allowing
an easy flow from living room to
formal dining room to kitchen. The
cozy living room features a handsome
gas fireplace with wall-mounted TV
above the mantle, flanked by built-
in display shelving. Opposite the
fireplace is a full-wall cocktail bar
with glass-front cabinet and SubZero
wine cooler.

Double doors open to a south-
facing balcony where you can share
the beauty of sea, sky, including
sunrises and sunsets, with family and
friends. It just doesn’t get any better
than that.
