"Dined at the river north location for brunch. The space is gorgeous. The food was delicious. The bialy with smoked salmon, Whitefish spread was our favorite. Next would be the papas bravas. The shashuka and of course their signature bacon stuffed dates. We also enjoyed bottomless mimosas. Our server and waitstaff were super. Will be back with friends soon."

"We checked out Avec on a friend’s recommendation, and overall, it was a good experience. The food was decent and everything we had was tasty, especially the appetizers. There were a lot of flavors going on, and it was definitely a satisfying meal. One thing that caught us off guard, though, was that some of the appetizers didn’t come with pita, even though it felt like it should’ve. We asked for it on the side, but it came with an extra charge. Not a huge deal, but it was a little odd considering the menu didn’t mention that, or perhaps we missed it. The service was on point, though. Even with the place packed on a Saturday night, they were quick, friendly, and made sure everything was running smoothly. All in all, it’s a solid spot for a night out, especially if you’re into Mediterranean-inspired dishes."

"Five stars are not enough for this unique and fabulous dining experience! One of the best meals of my life (and I’m not young)! Service was as exceptional as the food. Sharing family style added to this most enjoyable meal. Be adventurous and order something you don’t normally eat. We started with wine followed by the Endive and Apple Salad with a delicious yogurt based dressing. The three of us then shared the Chickpea Hummus with Crispy Short Rib, Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Ravioli, and a Lamb Kefta Calzone. We were full but couldn’t pass up the Spiced Apple Crostata which was culinary perfection. Extra thanks to Ian for making our evening special!"

"We went to Avec with the intention of getting a few light snacks and a bottle or two of wine for a table of 6 and ended up ordering about 8 items. The truffle focaccia was absolutely wonderful, both of the hummus dishes were pretty dynamic in flavor, texture, and toppings which we appreciated. The dates I know are a classic, and have always been consistent from previous visits. All of the desserts were well balanced, not overly sweet, and all had varying flavors that didn’t conflict each other. Service was attentive, warm, and our server had a strong knowledge of the menu and wine pairings though I’m sad to not remember her name to give her a shout out. Overall another great experience with Avec."

"when we made the reservation online, we thought we were getting their dinner menu but ended up showing up during their lunch hours. while an oversight on our end, we still decided to stay and try the place out. my family and i were happily pleased with our meal. everything came out quick and tasted amazing. i particularly liked the elote bread and deluxe focaccia. would definitely be back to try their dinner menu some day"
