I don't think they're open for lunch, but their bar/lounge area is full-service, and you should be able to sit with no wait.

I'm not sure, and a 10 second google-foo didn't say either, but you can call and ask.
Or you could head two blocks east and enjoy Blackbird's badass 3 course for $22 lunch deal.

Did that one last year, wasn't super impressed. I really thought that Avec had more creative food, not to mention it was just better tasting.

I got a reservation at Joes for dinner...pretty stellar deal (for lunch or dinner).

The lunch, or dinner?
I had a great meal there. For me, Paul Kahan restaurants go:
Blackbird
Avec













Big Star











































Publican

haha, I still haven't done publican. Big star was a drunken night with nachos, so no comment there.

I had the $22 lunch. I'm almost 100% sure they skimp out for the restaurant week lunches because I've heard mildly positive reviews of Blackbird, but found my experience was mediocre. I was at Henri yesterday (same ppl as the gage) and that really impressed me...

...and I don't impress easily.

That's a great list of places. Only thing I would maybe change is swap Avec for either cafe spiaggia or topo. If I had to let go of one of those, I'd say FOR SURE cafe spiaggia. Just go to the Spiaggia dining room next time you're here. But you shouldn't miss Avec or Schwa.

well cafe spiagga, topolo, and sepia will all be lunches. Avec is on my radar but the timing wasn't right for this trip, as we are just here for two nights. Scwha will also be included in my next trip assuming I can get in.

Bring an 8ball to the back door. You'll get the best seat in the house.

O that's good. Cafe spiaggia is one of the better lunch spots on Mich ave.

Cafe spiaggia has always underwhelmed me but I go back trying to like it. Finally gave up on the place. Pane Caldo on Walton is a better deal for lunch or even Coco Pazzo.

Think I would prefer Frontera over Topo for lunch too.

Crofton on Wells is worth a visit.
