The spinach ravioli was incredible. Both the endive salad and the squash pizza had strong bitter notes that made me wish I'd order something different. Service was exceptional

The ambience and venue is very good. We dined for a party of 9 with 1 kid and we were seated together in a long couch close to the bar and the space was quite comfortable. The pork with hummus was a bomb and everyone in the group loved it. The branzino was also good. The service was exceptional and very accommodating allowing is to bring a cake for the celebrant. Super appreciate the overall service.

Some of the best mediterranean food I have ever had. Service and Food delivery was outstanding. They should train other restaurants how to deliver food. Great Music and the perfect volume played throughout our dinner.
Isabella
Definitely a great experience! The food was really good, and whatever you put in that bread that goes on top of the cod was kinda magical.
Katie
Avec continues to deliver an amazing experience every time we visit. The food was excellent, the service impeccable and the atmosphere welcoming and cozy. It will continue to be our go to in Chicago.

Everything was delicious that we tried! Hummus with pita and short ribs were the highlight of the meal. Its prices are a little high and they still charge 3% on top of your bill. I cannot wait to try everything on their menu.
The food was fantastic! The hummus with the short ribs was to die for. I don't think you can go wrong with a single dish.

One of the best restaurants I have ever dined at! My husband and I ordered the endive salad, the steelhead trout, the black cod tagine, and finished it off with the blackberry lillet blanc baba. ALL were spectacular. The flavors in all were incredible: the endive salad had just the perfect amounts of crunchiness and smoothness, with hints of sweet, savory, bitter, and tartness; topped with pistachio on a bed of yogurt (just a bit)- it was mindblowing. The trout was smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of crispy skin, on a bed of baba ganoush and fruit vinaigrette. The black cod tagine was perfect, buttery cod, creamy eggplant chunks, in a smooth balanced curry like sauce; the lightness of the coconut cucumber raita was divine and added the only texture needed. An extra light lavash was provided. Afterwards we had the blackberry lillet-yet another perfectly light and balanced dessert....everything, including our server Mallory could not be better.

Really nice overall restaurant. Ambiance was quite nice. Ordered the chickpea short rib hummus (best item on menu imo ), deluxe focaccia (bit heavy), and tagliatelle (pretty salty for me)
