Our dinners were excellent and our service impeccable! We started with drinks piccola rossa and pyrennes - both delicious - complemented with Wild Mexican Prawns which was amazing. We followed with the maple glazed delicata squash and the Lebanese seven-spice chicken, again both spectacular. We ended by sharing hazelnut cake gelato that disappeared in minutes. Our waitress and the other staff were friendly, service-minded and very effective. We highly recommend avec!

We sat outside and everything was wonderful. Inside was very loud but our request to sit outside was immediately granted, and it was quiet and lovely out there. Food was great, service was cordial and efficient. All around a wonderful experience.

The unusual menu selections were great. Our second visit on trips to Chicago. The papardelle and cacio e pepe were outstanding. Wine selection is great. To top it off, dessert of raspberry granita and peach gelato was heavenly. Noise level increased by the end of our meal, but was a fun atmosphere and still conducive to conversation. Best meal of our trip.
