My partner and I came to Avec for an anniversary dinner and it did NOT disappoint! We each got a cocktail and then ordered four dishes to share (the endive and apple salad, the short rib hummus, the campanelli, and the lamb kefta calzone). Each was INCREDIBLE, but the short rib hummus was 100% the show stopper (i'd come back just to eat that!) The portion sizes were also good for the value. The restaurant itself was beautiful and had such lovely ambience. I will say that we did not receive any sort of "anniversary" benefit - usually restaurants will throw in like an extra something if it's a special occasion, not sure if that's the case at Avec! But either way, we had an absolutely wonderful time and will be coming back.
