Despite the occasional service misstep, Café Chloe boasts a highly enjoyable setting and serves solid French bistro fare. Located in San Diego's hippest sector, the East Village, this quaint venue has a big-city vibe. The décor is sophisticated yet charming, with a color scheme of chocolate brown and ivory, Philippe Starck chairs, a grand upstairs booth for larger parties, and a small shopping section. The main room features a central wine bar, pâtisserie-style glass cases and windows, windows, windows. Our menu favorites include delicate pommes frites with a trio of dips, the Catalan-style cassoulet, and the peppery steak frites with sherry butter and Gorgonzola greens. Add to this list chef Katie Grebow's duck breast with a carrot-ginger emulsion and lentils de Puy. Youngsters are respected here, too, with the likes of gourmet mac 'n' cheese and veggie pasta. Desserts are decadent, including crème brûlée, old-fashioned root beer floats and affogato (espresso over vanilla gelato). Daily afternoon tea is offered from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. and requires a reservation. Cafe Chloe’s jovial happy hour means good wine, beer and small plates for a reasonable $4-$6 each.
