   The short rib hummus stole the show. By far the best dish I tried on my entire trip to Chicago. The Deluxe Focaccia was another hit, grateful that Todd our server recommended a side of honey.. the perfect savory touch to an already tasty dish!! Speaking of Todd, his service, knowledge, and recommendations are what made this a 5 star experience! The dates were unique and worth a try! The only miss for me was the calamari that lacked any flavor other than your basic red sauce. Very happy with my experience, and thoroughly enjoyed the meal!

   We were really looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. When we asked about portion sizes, our waiter told us that "everything" on the menu was meant “to be shared with the table.” Based on that, we ordered accordingly, expecting plates that would serve 4 people. What we got were very small portions—barely enough for one person. The exception here was the focaccia dish. Food was great but it’s disappointing when service misleads you. It impacted how we ordered and left us feeling like we didn’t get value for what we spent.

   Had the best time at avec! The food was phenomenal - we had the short rib hummus, herby falafel, beef tagliatelle, and whole roasted branzino. NO skips. Highly recommend!
