eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6are aren't a lot of places where you can have a fantastic meal and a great time eating by yourself, but Avec is one of eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6am (and I'm sure it'd be even more fun with a group)!

First, eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a food. I went with eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a medjool dates that everybody has been raving about, eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a wagyu coulette, and eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a lamb neck pappardelle. 

Dates: this is one of eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6air signature dishes and rightly so. If you like pork at all, you will love this dish. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a dates with eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a tomato sauce is a revelation. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a oeb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6ar fantastic perk is that you can order a half-serving of eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a dish, so you get two instead of four.

Wagyu: Really smart move to take eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a coulette cut (top sirloin cap, which can be tough), and use wagyu and marinate it, which gives you fantastic flavor with tenderness. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a combination of eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a beef with eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a salsa verde was fresh and delicious.

Lamb: Disclaimer - I love pappardelle with braised meats in general, so I was predisposed to like this dish. It met my expectations. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a lamb neck was flavorful and delicious. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a only problem I had with this dish was that it was a little bit oily.

Ordinarily, I would be hesitant to give 5 stars to a restaurant I've only been to once and only had 3 dishes at, but all three dishes were superb and you can tell that eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6ay run a great operation here. Some highlights

1. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a whole ambiance felt homey, special, and friendly. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a wooden panel interior, eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a communal tables, eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a long stainless steel bar, eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a attentive service...it all served to transport you from a random street in downtown Chicago to a world where you got delicious food with friendly people. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a two people sitting next to me struck up random conversations with me and it felt totally natural. One guy next to me was on a business trip like me and had come two nights in a row because eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a pappardelle was so good.  eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a decor, vibe, layout, and food all reminded me a lot of one of my favorite restaurants in NYC - Momofuku Ssam Bar - and in my mind, it's hard to beat that.

2. Everyone was incredibly thoughtful. When I got eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6are, it was a 30 min wait even though I went on a Wednesday at 9pm, but eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6ay took my cell phone number and so I could wander around eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a neighborhood while waiting. Everyone introduced eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6amselves by name. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a hostess introduced herself and Tess and remembered my name throughout eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a night. Same with my server Josh, who was great and kept warning me that I might be ordering too much food (I proved him wrong though!)...how often do you have a server tell you to stop ordering?! eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a space was tight but because eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a hostess offered to take your coat and bags and stored eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6am in eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a back, it didn't get too cramped. 

I've been to some really good restaurants in Chicago - Alinea probably being eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a best - but Avec is eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a kind of restaurant I can see myself returning to over and over again. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a food here is terrific. I came here with 2 friends for dinner, left stuffed and happy, and eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a total damage was about $100 for eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a 3 of us. Great value.

As everyone has already mentioned, eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a chorizo-stuffed dates are amazing as eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6ay manage to simultaneously be sweet, savory, and spicy. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a oeb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6ar dishes were delicious too.  eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a English pea crostini was creative (mashed peas), crunchy, and fresh-tasting. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a spinach salad was served warm with some savory beans and something else that added crunch. Lots of cheese options - all served with eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a best warm brick oven roll that I've ever had. Homemade gnocchi was tasty, but eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6ay were much bigger than normal, and was served with a rich pesto sauce. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a organic salmon was less of a winner - though just slightly seared and raw in eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a middle just eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a way I like it, it had a tinge o
 f fishiness that did not appeal to me.

Portions are pretty big, even for eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a small plates. We were too full for dessert. However, we did get two of eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6air small wine carafes from eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6air extensive wine list. Not bad.

eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a only caveat about this place is that eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6ay don't take reservations. Be prepared to wait more than an hour for a table on eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a weekends - which isn't bad on warm nights when you can grab a drink and cluster around eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a tables outside. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a scopey menu ensures eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6are will be something for everyone in your group. Don't get too attached, though - you're meant to share! eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a wine list can look intimidating, but eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a servers know eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6air stuff and will happily point you in eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a right direction. eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a best dish of eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a meal was eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a skate-wing, which was a special. It was perfectly cooked, seared to perfection and dressed with an 
 asparagus and olive salad. 

eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a communal seating arrangements can be seen as eieb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6ar a detriment or a bonus for eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a restaurant; it depends what you are going eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6are for. If you're going for a first date, say, it might be a little awkward to be plopped down in eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a middle of a long table full of people. But, if you're going with people that you actually know, eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6an it's a lot of fun to make friends with eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a people around you. It's a lively, friendly atmosphere. 

I think that it is eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a combination of this atmosphere and eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a excellently prepared food that keep Avec feeling fresh and sitting at eb23e971e972fd9db6660a2c1d5e2f6a top of most people's "best restaurants in Chicago" list even after being open for (I believe) over 4 years.
