avec Restaurant Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Great food, fabulous servers, uncomfortable dining
First, the food and servers were amazing! Our server recommended a really tasty orange wine that paired well with our stuffed dates—so delicious!—focaccia—light, crispy, and extra good with a little honey—asparagus salad—the most flavorful and delicious salad I can remember eating—and short rib hummus—what a fantastic combination! Bit second, the restaurant is small, long, and narrow. While nicely decorated, it is uncomfortable. Seating is at several communal tables with a bench on one side and short stools on the other. Behind the stool side, patrons and servers bustle behind, which is unsettling. We were elbow to elbow with our neighbors, which was fine but awkward. It’s a good thing neither one needed to use the restroom and that we finished eating at about the same time to avoid a seat-shuffle situation. The close proximity of diners meant that there was almost no chance of conversation. People were talking at the tops of voices to be heard in the restaurant ruckus. I go to biergartens and wineries with communal tables all the time and enjoy the camaraderie of sharing a good time with new people, but Avec’s vibe is just uncomfortable. So it’s a 5 for food and service and 1 for atmosphere for me.
Wowowowowow.
This place was so incredible! There is a bit of a wait and rush during lunch time but rest assured it is well worth the wait. My dining mate and I split an order of chorizo stuffed dates after seeing our table mate's order. We probably could have easily eaten the entire order on our own but probably good for our stomachs that we shared which were two dates each. For the main, I got the farm salad and added chicken - this was so. Much. Salad. In the very best way possible! The almonds, berries, and amount of chicken they added were incredible and so filling! The lettuce and endive they used were also just perfection - I wonder how each leaf was pristinely crisp. Ended our lunch on a sweet note with the most perfect portion of nutter butter square. It was such a delightful treat that satisfies your sweet tooth but not make you feel grossly stuffed afterwards. I'm salivating now just thinking about this excellent lunch and will definitely be back the next time I'm in Chicago; hopefully for dinner!
The focaccia was incredible.
I would go back just to get that alone. Get the focaccia! You won't regret it. The restaurant is pretty small and hot but still an enjoyable environment. Great service!
Met up a friend for lunch here on a Saturday afternoon.
The indoor seating is small and a bit awkward but they seem to be packed. If you order individual plates, then members of your party may not get their food at the same time as you. So your food may get cold and soggy while you wait on others to get their food. The menu is limited so I ordered a half order of French toast, but was not as impressed as I had hoped. Not certain I would like to go back again.
Excellent!! The food was amazing.
Everything we had was delicious, the braised short Rob Hummus. Roasted Cabbage, calamari and pastas. Highly recommend!
Best Mediterranean food I've ever eaten! Once you get past
Best Mediterranean food I've ever eaten! Once you get past dining next to strangers it's an overall great experience. I always send visitors to this spot for an amazing meal.
For two people got the asparagus with buttermilk cream
For two people got the asparagus with buttermilk cream sauce, avocado, bulgur, citrus and onions(?) and the shrimp with polenta and the hummus with mushrooms. It was all so fresh and delicious. The asparagus was not heavy bc it was citrusy and bright. The shrimp was super flavorful and although the polenta was a little loose it was so delicious - just no shame and use a spoon to eat it! The hummus was excellent and those mushrooms so flavorful! Pita comes with it but only one so got another. It's communal seating so we were seated next to a small group who looked like they had just gotten married! Tight quarters but it was fine - a long train car layout. Always had plenty of water, checking in to see how we were doing, boxed up our food. No hassle and very attentive but not overbearing making us feel like we had to leave. I do miss big cities and the delicious and different food I get to eat. Oops forgot to mention the super nice bathrooms with Malin and Goetz hand soap and lotion - smelled so good! Small little luxuries really do make a difference
A must-try if you're visiting Chicago! The ambience was
A must-try if you're visiting Chicago! The ambience was great and reservation is definitely recommend for a Friday night dinner. My top dishes were below: - the Brussel Sprouts salad? Not sure of the exact name, but it had a crispy texture paired with a creamy dressing - Duck Agnolotti - Slow-roasted pork shoulder: the meat was Smokey and perfectly cooked paired with collard greens, fresh herbs, and a rich stew. If you like Aba, I would definitely give this place a try as well!
Always looking for good food and this fits the bill.
Every dish I had is delicious. The short ribs in hummus s is a delight. Apple crispy brussel sprouts yogurt salad amazing. Appreciate a nice meal for my birthday. Service attentive without being intrusive with comfy ambiance.
Celebrated a special milestone in my friend's career at
Celebrated a special milestone in my friend's career at Avec the other day and had a wonderful time. Our server was very sweet and gave us a complimentary glass of wine to celebrate. We ordered a few dishes including the lamb flatbread, shaved apple salad, and the grilled prawns. We also had a bottle of Rosé and a cappuccino to end the night. I loved all the dishes but my favorite was the apple salad. I was a little skeptical of the pita and shrimp dish but it was AMAZING all the ingredient work so well together. My friend and I are also not big lamb fans, but the flatbread was so good and we could barely tell it was lamb. I will definitely be back!
The bill had three mistakes, all intentional.
Whisky charge was $21, although menu said $18. Neat charge was $2. I know some restaurants do that, but it is dishonest to advertise a price and then charge extra when no ice is added. And there was a 3% hospitality charge on the $115 bill. The waitress tried to explain but was clearly embarrassed and brought back a new bill minus the $9. Ave is a good restaurant but should understand that customers would prefer them to honestly charge more rather than sneak in hidden charges. Too many good restaurants around to go back here again and feel cheated.
Nice brunch
Visited for brunch. Nice menu with a selection of snacks, small plates, and large plates. Mediterranean focus. Nice vibe...long bar and long communal table. Service was very casual (probably a little too casual for the price point) but reasonably attentive. Food was good, but not great. A Brussels Sprout salad was delicious, as were the dates. A focaccia with smoked salmon didn't hit the mark, with droopy, thin bread and blandnesss. Certainly would return.
Disappointing experience.
Very disappointing experience. We waited over one hour for a cheese platter and when finallly came there were only two ridicously small slices of cheese. They tried charging us for the plate although after complaining they waived us for it. Service was pushy for us to leave.
Not quite up to expectations
Young crowd.( 20-30). Nice atmosphere. Fine wine list. Tasty but I can’t say exceptional mediteranean food.
Great for brunch
Excellent brunch spot. Good service, good food. My wife fell in love with the French toast; it seems more like bread pudding than French toast. The butternut squash is really good as is the patatas bravas. The space is small, but more cozy than cramped.
Innovative and delicious
We loved this restaurant! We are Mediterranean food fans and were impressed with the innovative dishes that they offered! We tried a variety of small plates and loved all the unique flavor combinations. It was unusual and delicious. We will definitely be back again!
Such a tasty meal.
This is a great place to eat. Every single dish we ate was tasty and good. So special and nice for any occasions Loved how clean and wonderful their kitchen was. Service was outstanding. Food is very fresh and high quality ingredients. Will definitely go back. Will not be disappointed.
Delicious food and great atmosphere
We came here while visiting family. I loved the shared plates style menu. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped us decide on the right portions for our party of 9. The scallops were delectable, the short rib hummus was incredibly delicious and my favorite dessert was the burnt honey gelato. We had many other dishes that were equally delicious. A wonderful dinner!
Flavourful dishes!
Flavourful dishes with some outstanding ones. Kale salad was amazing. Service was good. They recommended 5 dishes but could have done with just 4 for the three of us. Some of pretty substantial dishes. Overall a great dinner in a great setting.
Really cozy and good place
Fantastic quaint little place where I recommend trying brunch on Saturday or Sunday. The service is great and everyone is very friendly. Their homemade hamburger and their focaccia with salmon are delicious.
