Avec Moi

Reviews & Tips

  Avec Moi has a very interesting concept: home cooked take out with unique flavors.  My wife and I stopped by one evening to avoid having to cook at home.  We got two entrees (a pork dish and stuffed peppers), two sides (potatoes and Brussels sprouts) and a piece of sweet bread.  The total was $31.  The food ranged from good to mediocre.  The biggest issue was for $31 we finished the food and were still hungry!  Really for an $8-$9 entree I'd really expect more than the 3 bite piece of pork in the to-go box.  So in summary, great concept, decent tasting, a bit too expensive and absolutely tiny portions!

  Love this little place to pick up some delicious food to go.  Last night we had the vegetarian meatloaf and twice baked potato.  So yummy!  Always alternative options for vegetarians.  Fresh ingredients.  Yummy desserts!

  Disclaimeur: Your idea of "home-cooked" as it relates to a commercial food operation might be different from mine. Now, say my ultrabusy suburban mother whipped up a respectable chicken salad with last night's not-TOO-dry chicken breast and then rolled the concoction neatly into a storebought fajita. Yes, and drizzled some Italian dressing, along with that cheap crumbly Marsh deli feta cheese which I always tell her is SO worth upgrading from, onto a cup of leftover orzo, and then put these both in a little box and said "Here you go, sweetie...enjoy lunch! OH, and don't forget a cookie...my, I do love these Marsh deli dogbone-shaped sugar cookies, they're so adorable!" before hustling back to her 47-item daily to do list...
  
  ...I'd be pretty darn impressed/grateful and say, "Gee ma! Thanks! You're the best!"
  
  Now, if she charged me $6.00+tax and wouldn't let me come back for seconds, I'd be a little less enthusiastic.
  
  Maybe I approached this all wrong. If so do please let me know. I mean, maybe the idea is to conjure up the most accurate reminiscence of Harried School Mom's better meals. But those were always offerings of love, and this is an offering of business. The cold dollar must convert to satiety in the hunger and/or sensory departments. I didn't get much in either of these. I wanted to, too! I like the concept and small business-ness of Avec Moi. In sum,  :/

  Today was my lucky day. My packed lunch of french onion soup wasn't looking super hot, so I was very eager to jump on the leftover catered meals from Avec Moi in the lunchroom fridge.
  
  Avec Moi: love the name. Actually I love any business name that requires me to pull up <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffreetranslation.com&s=a2e55ef65c006e16676c015d523caba1eb8e100ee48059cad7ee3f38fc4fc5ba" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://freetranslation.c…</a>. My french vocabulary expanded by one today. "Avec" = with
  
  Okay, let's break down this review in the order that the items were eaten:
  
  1.) Cookie blob - If you were to take bowl of oatmeal with dried cranberries and turn it into a cookie - it would be this cookie. The presence of oatmeal in the cookie allowed me to pretend it was healthy as I guiltlessly took each bite.
  
  2.) Bulgar, green pepper and golden raisin salad: I think the only thing holding this salad back from being top notch is that the bulgar was undercooked and quite difficult to chew. Not that I'm a bulgar expert by any means.
  
  3.) Fruit: mixture of blueberries, strawberries, pineapple and kiwi (nice addition - I hate peeling kiwi)
  
  at this point I am too full to even try the pretty chicken salad wrap. I'm going to bet money it's a winner.
  
  Attention all office managers, event and meeting coordinators, etc. - mix up the typical catered lunches of sandwiches and chips with this healthy alternative.

  Own up, you know you don't want to cook. And you know you won't. So don't end up down the street at a bar and grill with the same breaded & fried malarkey that you usually end up with; instead, here's awesome food. That's what Avec Moi is telling us. And I like it. And they bake treats too.
  
  Sandwiches, soups, chili, pasta dishes, did I spot a burrito? The nature of the place being a to-go spot had me leaving wanting more... thus... a short review. I stopped in for a cookie (that's right, this is what I do: I stop in for cookies. I recommend this life style). And that cookie was "oldddddd grandma's recipe" of a oatmeal raisin. Key ingredient: Ginger. Awwwww snap, I'll be back.
