Avec Tour

avec…what more can you say? The vibe on a busy night is vibrant and communal. The wine flows, the food is delicious and the space makes you feel that relaxed feeling reminiscent of a sauna. “Walk” to the back of the restaurant’s tour and take a look at the fabulous wine bottle wall, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Here’s an excerpt from their website:

avec,  a Mediterranean and Midwestern influenced shared plates restaurant, ​ opened in October 2003 out of a partnership between Executive Chef Paul Kahan, restauranteur ​Donnie Madia and wine steward Eduard Seitan. Chef Perry Hendrix’s rustic menu, featuring Midwest ingredients from valued local purveyors,​takes its cue from the sun-drenched wine regions of Southwestern Europe. Beyond reflecting the aromas, flavors and colors of the Mediterranean in its cuisine, avec’s moderately priced wine list focuses on the region’s boutique vineyards.
