Lovely spot to bring a relatively larger group (7 people) for brunch! Excellent service and the waitress was very accommodating for us initially being overwhelmed by all the amazing choices on the menu.

New favorite restaurant in Chicago. Had a reservation for 7pm. My sisters and I got there at 6:45pm and were seated right away. Our server was Graham, and when I say that he is the best server we’ve had in every restaurant we’ve visited in Chicago, I mean it (please give this man a raise!!!). We ordered the hummus (with the veggies), whole roasted branzino, and coconut and almond cake. On top of the food being stupendous, the service was phenomenal as well. We’d drink our water, and halfway through our glass being empty, we have someone already coming over to refill our glasses. They were all just so attentive, and we appreciated it! Definitely coming back to bring my whole family next time. Worth every penny!

A classy yet chill restaurant. I loved the ambiance and the service was incredible. Everything came out hot. The inside of the restaurant was very aesthetic and great for food/outfit photos for those who love a nice ig feed 😉

Yeah, very good, nothing explicit to criticise, still I was missing a little something. Just can’t put my finger on what it was. The food was good, ingredients fresh, the flavours were excellent, the dishes were well cooked and constructed. The vibe was good, restaurant was full and buzzing. Service was good, not fantastic but fine. Everything was tasty, and did ‘what it says on the tin’.

Food was amazing! We had the swordfish tagine, chorizo stuffed dates and shrimp dish. They all came with some kind of bread and they soaked up the sauce so well. We have two young children, so we especially appreciated their accommodation on food option as well as being kids friendly, considering many things on the menu have a lot of spices (not spicy but flavorful) that can be overwhelming for kids. They made a simple cheese pizza for our kids and they loved it!

We visited avec to get a restaurant week deal, only to discover I booked a week early. Doh. The good of it was that we had the run on the entire menu and yet ended up spending what we would have for the restaurant week limited prix fixe!

Nice space. Clean, bright, lots of plants. Brunch did not disappoint. Big portions, very tasty, and nice presentation. Brunch in general can be a bit of a shitshow but this was pleasant, service was great, not noisy, and they also have bottomless mimosas!

I was recommended this restaurant and it did not disappoint. I had the Mexican prawns, Chicken Liver Crosstini and the Squid Ink Garganelli (this one was for to go ). All 3 were packed with flavor, fresh ingredients – just simply delicious. The Chicken Liver Crosstini was the star of the night for me – a must to get here. I sat at the bar for dinner. So much natural light comes into the restaurant with a great energy throughout. Francisco was very friendly and welcoming, as were other staff. Cannot wait to go back.
