Best WLM Reviews
Delicious food and great location. Be prepared to sit next to other people as there are a few large tables with many people sitting at them. Not really any privacy. Nice outdoor area to sit in on a nice day. Great smaller plates to share. Definitely get the chorizo bacon wrapped dates! They are the best
Beet salad and bacon-wrapped dates really hit the spot. Short-rib hummus was good. Swordfish and pork shoulders were disappointing. We strongly felt that sauces and ingredients were fine, but both proteins were not in line with the overall flavors.
We appreciated their honesty about running out of ingredients. The timing for each dish was way too slow. Had a nice time and hope to return to try more smaller dishes.
Just finished dining on their 2024 Restaurant Week dinner menu. We ordered the short rib hummus in addition to this and I am stuffed! We had leftovers we took to-go. It was just two of us but I’d say the menu is definitely enough for 3-4 people. Off the RW menu, my favorite was the stuffed dates, while the rest was good to try but not anything I’d necessarily go back for. The short rib hummus, on the other hand, is probably one of the best dishes I’ve had in Chicago.
As far as service, it didn’t start off great - the two young men who “greeted” us at the door were rather tactless. Unfortunate first impression. However, the rest of the staff were great and made up for it. Some people might not like being in such close quarters to other diners, but I actually liked that atmosphere. Overall a good experience, so long as you’re willing to drop some money! (p.s. Also was just cool, as I’m a fan of The Bear)
Rather creative menu, with unique takes on dishes like hummus or olive dip. I need to come give it a second try but my first was closer to "interesting, good, but given the priceI, I was expecting a bit more choice". I was needing a vegan dish that night, and I had two options total. Usually, I have more at at a Mediterranean place. I will try again when I can have anything on the menu.
Came here for Chicago Restaurant Week brunch, could not be more happy with our experience! We had amazing coffee, coffee cake, roasted carrot hummus, and to die for french toast. The staff were accommodating to our vegetarian dietary restrictions and even let us do an item swap on the menu to make sure we had the best experience possible. They were incredibly sweet and attentive. Will definitely be coming back!
Avec was OK for me. The food is good, not something super special, but the hummus short rib was really tasty! It's a big place, so sometimes you feel a bit lost. The staff could be more attentive, they seemed a bit busy or not noticing much. But overall, it's a decent place to go for a meal. If you try the hummus short rib, you'll probably enjoy it.
Went on NYE. Ordered the chorizo stuffed dates, short rib hummus, grilled butchers steak, and the coconut semolina cake. All were beautifully plated & delicious although I personally didn’t care for how crumbly the cake was — wouldn’t order that again. The steak was good but paled in comparison to the short rib hummus for me. Very intimate dining area. Not a lot of room to move around & the seating is communal. Might make some uncomfortable but I enjoyed it and the staff were friendly & responsive. Everything worked like a well oiled machine.
Warm, welcoming, kind and efficient staff. Entree and dessert was excellent, very tasty perfect. The main fell short;the ribs felt stringy, dry, not nice. The accompanying pita bread and hummus was perfect, though.
