   Love the food. The cocktails are divine. It’s always so perfect. I am vegan and they are incredible about dietary restrictions. The cabbage dish, sweet potatoes, hummus, endive salad, focaccia bread, nothing ever disappoints. It became one of my go to places in Chicago!

   Excellent service and food was devine; the kale hummus and pita, the hamachi appetizer and fish special were just amazing. We’re coming back for sure.

   Disappointed with service at Avec North yesterday. Food was fine (does everything come with eggs now?) but service was ill timed, our table was a high top when there were plenty of booths and standard tables available. No pacing for apps which came out at essentially the same time as the mains. My drink was forgotten, I asked once for the drink, it still never came. At the end of service I was handed a card reader, no itemized bill. After years of enjoying the original Avec, I guess it’s time for me to try elsewhere. So disappointing, I work in a customer facing field and the entire UX was off.

   Portions are unusually large for the price. Sauces are wonderful. Server was attentive and responsive. Really nothing detracted from a great experience.

   Great service! Great vibe! Great food! Our server was Gabe, he was so friendly. It felt like we knew him! we were recommended to try Avec by a few friends, so I thought it was the perfect place to take my best friend for her birthday, and I’m glad we did! Whoever thought to put a short rib with hummus, deserves an award!!

   we sat in main dining room at a high top. had a great server that knew the menu very well and made great suggestions. we started with the olives and then split short ribs and hummus, and hamachi. the best i've ever tasted. what an experience!!!! we ended with a cashew gelato. The flavors and spices, and all our dishes were exceptional. It was really a culinary experience.

    Very delicious! I was there by myself, but had excellent attentive service as single diner. Highly recommend the short rib hummus and calamari appetizers.
