Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Dylan Patel
From the OpenTable editors: This West Loop spot sparked Chicago’s small-plates craze in 2003 and now has MICHELIN Bib Gourmand status. Expect soulful Midwestern riffs on Mediterranean small plates and an excellent wine list that leans southern European. Don't miss avec’s bacon-wrapped chorizo-stuffed dates, which are right up there with hot dogs and deep dish as classic Chicago fare.
