| - I've come here about 3 times and on most occasions I have a decent meal. The restaurant is very tiny though, so there is limited seating. If possible, make reservations.
The last time I came to Avec, we happened to come on their one night with set menus only. We were not aware of this, but we decided to stick around and try their menu. I believe I had the fish and my friend had the chicken. There was only the option of the fish or the lamb, but the waiter said for 10$, my friend could have the chicken. Well, it turns out it was for an EXTRA 10$ she could ave the chicken; it ended up costing her close to 35$!! If she had known, she would have just ordered the fish too.
Other than that, food was fairly tasty. They tend to lean more towards the 'casual' French cuisine, which is very comforting and warm. Definitely a good place to come for a casual French dinner. Pricing is okay, as are portion sizes.
I do find that service can be a little hit or miss. A few times I've had to go up to the waiter and ask for my bill. Another time, I stood waiting at their cash register for either one of the two waiters to notice me and help me get my stored jacket. They were just talking amongst themselves and seemed to ignore me.
Unfortunately, this has tarnished my experience with Avec and while the food is good, it isn't worth the mostly miss service.
