My first time going to Avec. I was surprised by its small footprint. I sat at the bar and had a great meal just with two appetisers. It was happy hour so drinks and some snacks were discounted. Enjoyable experience, would recommended it to anyone looking for an intimate environment and excellent Tapas.
