THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED La Dolce Via Restaurant Review

Owner Marcia Sindel and her daughter have been baking custom cakes at this small corner outpost for many years. Their foray into dining happened gradually, but now chef Ramon Cuffie is almost as much of a fixture at La Dolce Via as the bakers. The typical lunch or dinner menu is fairly brief, and it changes daily depending on what’s fresh. Mind you, what it lacks in breadth it makes up for in...

avec Restaurant Review

A follow-up to Blackbird, this highly seasonal (and always creative) restaurant is situated next door. With a name that’s French for “with,” it’s no surprise that you’ll eat in close proximity to other people --- it’s part of the experience, after all. But, mind you, this was communal dining before it was the norm. There’s a wealth of tasty ideas --- many Mediterranean-centered --- coming from...

Rubbing elbows is a small sacrifice for the fans of Mediterranean-inspired fare at this communal West Loop wine restaurant.

Excellent food, reasonable prices. The only thing I did not like is the seating setup. You are sitting very close to the next person, and you don't have your own private table, so you have to get up and down to fit people in the middle. It's a great place to have dinner, but don't expect to have a private conversation while you do so.

a really cool vibe and delicious, interesting small and large plates for sharing. avec manages to both be incredibly intimate and a communal dining experience at the same time. seating is limited and tables are shared, so don't expect privacy or spaciousness, but all of it contributes to the really fun and unique atmosphere.

Just superb. Amazing dishes at super, super reasonable prices. Great cocktails. Staff was attentive, fun and engaging. Guys at the bar know their stuff! Even though the place was hopping busy, they were awesome-not only giving great advice on dishes and drinks but just going above and beyond in answering all our whimsical questions about the industry. So much fun!

The 125-bottle wine list focuses on small growers in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, with three-fourths of the selections priced at about $30 per bottle. There are also 32 wines by the glass, served in a quarter-liter "caraffina," ideal for sharing.

Avec doesn't take reservations, so it's a good idea to get there early in the evening.
