   Every dish was exquisite and original (some entirely unique, others fresh takes on familiar things). We were a large group (8 of us). Our server (Graham) was perfectly attentive without being obsequious. An excellent pre-holiday family dinner outing!

   Delicious brunch, good ambience, good service. A little bit slow but they make everything at the moment.

   Each fish was unique. Some better than others. Not sure it’s worth the hype

   Hadn’t been in a while, and it wasn’t crowded or noisy for a Friday night. Great food as always, and good service. I feel they need to work on the cocktails. The ones we had sounded better on paper than what we received. I think I’ll be skipping them going forward. Will always return for the food, especially the bacalao with grilled bread.

   Delicious. This place has so much to offer for all different palates. We ordered 6 plates to share, albeit full but sooo satisfied!

   I barely write bad reviews bit this was a bad one unfortunately. We are regulars at the Avec west loop, which is great. River North location was a big disappointment. We waited for almost 10-15 min for our waiter to come and get the order. Noone came to ask. The place was half empty. Food was ok, service and ambiance were terrible. They should learn from how things are done in their west loop location.

   Some really interesting dishes for brunch. We liked the atmosphere, too—very convivial on a Sunday between 10 am to noon.

   What a great brunch spot. Such flavorful food and a cool vibe inside. Would be fun for a birthday brunch or celebration meal!

    The server repeated my order correctly. But only brought two out of three of our entrées. He completely forgot about the third entrée. Which came about 10 minutes after the others. No accommodation was made for this failure to bring my entrée. I have heard such good things about this restaurant, and some of the food was extremely flavorful, some of it had no taste at all, and some of it just had too much going on to even enjoy it. We won’t be back.

    Thanks for the feedback, Arleen! We're sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. It's disappointing to know that we fell short in providing the right amount of attention to your entrée. We take pride in our service and food quality and it's disappointing to hear that some of your dishes didn't meet your expectations. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future.
