    Every dish was exquisite and original (some entirely unique, others fresh takes on familiar things). We were a large group (8 of us). Our server (Graham) was perfectly attentive without being obsequious. An excellent pre-holiday family dinner outing!

    Everything was satisfying. Not only was the food delicious, but it tasted different, so I had a great time. I also had an unforgettable time thanks to the kind staff.

    Each fish was unique. Some better than others. Not sure it’s worth the hype

    Hadn’t been in a while, and it wasn’t crowded or noisy for a Friday night. Great food as always, and good service. I feel they need to work on the cocktails. The ones we had sounded better on paper than what we received. I think I’ll be skipping them going forward. Will always return for the food, especially the bacalao with grilled bread.

    Delicious. This place has so much to offer for all different palates. We ordered 6 plates to share, albeit full but sooo satisfied!

    I barely write bad reviews bit this was a bad one unfortunately. We are regulars at the Avec west loop, which is great. River North location was a big disappointment. We waited for almost 10-15 min for our waiter to come and get the order. Noone came to ask. The place was half empty. Food was ok, service and ambiance were terrible. They should learn from how things are done in their west loop location.

    Some really interesting dishes for brunch. We liked the atmosphere, too—very convivial on a Sunday between 10 am to noon.
