A delicious evening at Avec. Our servers were attentive and the dishes were all scruptious. We particularly enjoyed the endive salad, the stuffed dates, and the chicken thighs. Sadly, we were too full to try desserts!

Everything was delicious. A fantastic cocktail and wine list. We will dream of having this evening and meal again. This was a wonderful experience and the date night we needed. Get the chorizo bacon wrapped dates. They are divine.

The food was amazing, but the staff made the experience. I have Celiac disease, and the staff worked with me--even cooking my items in separate spaces--to ensure I didn't get sick. The pork shoulder and the woodfired calamari were the favorites. Absolutely wonderful.
