" After so much hype, I recently visited Avec, and I had high hopes. The food quality was excellent, but I found the portion sizes smaller than expected for the price. The ambiance was cozy and relaxed, which I enjoyed. The staff was polite — I could see myself coming back for another chance to sample their various dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lovely evening spent at Avec! The combination of flavors was intricate and satisfying. My only complaint was I felt the menu could use a slight expansion as I couldn’t find many vegan options. The staff was attentive, and I thoroughly appreciated the service. Nice wines on the list too! I’ll return with friends to share more delicious bites! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not overly impressed with my meal at Avec. The hype is real regarding the stuffed dates, but some other dishes were underwhelming. The service was good; the atmosphere was lively but a bit cramped. I think I expected a little more in terms of variety and flavor combinations. I might revisit to explore other menu items, but I fell short of being wowed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an okay time at Avec. My dishes were hit or miss. While the items like the chorizo-stuffed dates were superb, my main dish fell short of expectations — lacking flavor. The staff was lovely, and the ambiance was warm and inviting but I left feeling slightly underwhelmed. Wouldn't rush back, but perhaps I'll try again in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ordered the special and I was in for a surprise! Flavors aligned beautifully, and it honestly gives my Mediterranean favorites a run for their money. The ambiance lent itself to a celebratory vibe, but I had difficulty with the noise level. Nevertheless, that's where the vibrant energy comes from, so it was part of the charm. I will recommend it to every food lover I know! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a gem of a restaurant! The dining experience felt personal, with wonderful food served in a cozy yet lively atmosphere. We enjoyed everything we ordered — especially the focaccia, which was superb! While prices are reflective of the quality, it’s a bit on the high side for some. Overall, a splendid night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Avec on a bustling Saturday night! What an experience. The food was divine, especially the unique takes on classic dishes. The ambiance is perfect for gathering with friends or family. While it was packed, the service was surprisingly seamless. I love how the restaurant embraces flavors with every dish. I'll absolutely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)
