What a wonderful lunch we had at avec River North today! Of course the dates were amazing, but we knew that. The calamari was perfectly cooked, and the tabbouleh was full of flavor. The focaccia with taleggio cheese, truffle oil and fresh herbs was so much more delicious than I expected it to be. The service was outstanding! Our server was thoughtful, informed, gracious, and fun. My friends were in town for a wedding, so he even brought us spiced plum sorbet for dessert to finish out the meal. They loved it!

We chose the restaurant as it was accessible from our hotel on a really cold night and reviews seemed good. The space was nicely decorated and comfortable with a lively atmosphere. The waiter was efficient and cordial. Our drinks were excellent and we found the food to be so as well. We shared an order of the cheese curds with rémoulade to start; it was a generous portion indeed and delectable. I had an excellent prime rib done perfectly medium rare with a beautiful and tasty crust with mashed potatoes, jus and horseradish, which I was unable to finish. My companion had the rotisserie chicken which he declared to be nicely seasoned and moist. Again, it was a generous portion of half chicken, baby potatoes and baby carrots. We had no space left for dessert, but enjoyed the meal thoroughly.

Perfect for a nice dinner out with a toddler. Staff was very accommodating for our over tired 4 year old.

La Perla had a well priced happy hour menu that we took advantage of via InKind. I enjoyed tacos & cocktails the most. I also ordered the fried ravioli. Will be back!

Definitely a great place to eat and meet up with friends. Our host, Georgia, was excellent and amazing! I love coming to Hubbard Inn for the holidays! Great staff. Everyone is amazing there.
