avec

Avec is a wine bar featuring a well-crafted menu of rustic food inspired by the wine-growing regions of the Mediterranean coast. Avec's communal seating lends itself to conversation and family style sharing of Executive Chef Paul Kahan and Chef de Cuisine Erling Wu-Bower's seasonal small and large plates.

Luncheons at Avec boast the luxury of having the entire restaurant for the duration of the event. While guests enjoy boutique wine from Southeastern Europe, they are able to see the food being prepared in the wood-burning oven over the stainless steel pass. Luncheons offer not only the signature dishes that have brought Avec to the forefront of culinary enjoyment, but include a large selection of seasonal dishes to choose from as well.

Luncheon’s may be held from 11:00am to 3:00pm, seven days a week, accommodating up to 46 seated (56 with some individuals at the bar) or 60 for a standing reception style event.

A sure way to impress is with an evening buyout of Avec. Pricing does vary by date, however, within the cost all food and beverage is included. The evening begins with a sparkling wine reception featuring house cured meats, olives, and bite-size crostini on the bar for guests to enjoy. Guests will work directly with the chef to select a 4 course extravagant seasonal menu to be paired with rare boutique wine.

With no detail left untouched, we at Avec will ensure that your event, large or small, is memorable fall all that attend.
