Went to Avec in River North and had an amazing experience. Tim, our bartender and server, was friendly and well versed in the menu. He was also helpful in finding Restaurant Week menu alternatives since I don't eat pork or beef. We ordered a bottle of the red wine and cheese of the week. Everything on the menu was fresh, flavorful and curated to perfection.

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.
