Came in for a late Thursday lunch during the off-hours , and the service was still completely on point. Super attentive staff from the moment we walked in. We started with the seasonal citrus and beet salads—both tasted amazingly fresh and crisp. I saw a few new menu items and tried the Snake River steak, which turned out delicious and cooked perfectly. My wife got her go-to salmon and loved it as always. Wrapped things up with a solid crème brûlée and gelato. The place looks great, too. You can tell they keep updating the decor, and the vibe is easily one of the best around. Passed a big group of Googlers heading out as we walked in—it really is the go-to spot for Silicon Valley business lunches. Always a great experience here, already looking forward to the next visit.

Everything about our dinner was perfect. The service at the bar was outstanding and every bite of the 8-course dinner was a treat.

It's always a great meal at Evvia. Two of us had the lamb shank which is always a large portion of meat, one of us the lamb chops, and the fourth the shrimp dish. Flavorful, healthy portions, and well seasoned. Our server was friendly and professional, and guided us to try the squash appetizer which we all loved. Even on a Monday night the restaurant was full, but not noisy. We were fortunate to get a table on short notice, as Evvia is always booked well in advance...for good reason!

Another wonderful dining experience and the service was exceptional. Sitting on the patio with the heaters comfortable and providing blankets was a nice touch although we didn’t need them. I also appreciate they do not charge a corkage fee so I can bring a wine from my collection to share with friends. I love this restaurant and will definitely return again.

Such great steaks, the bacon steak ordered and cut up into a house salad is amazing. And the new cinnamon/pecan butter cake is a DON'T MISS! Not to mention incredible server/service all the way around. (The bone in rib-eye, medium rare is exquisite!)

    We had such a lovely anniversary dinner here it was our first visit and we were really impressed. We started with a wonderful anniversary card on our table, which was a complete surprise. Our server, Kaitlyn, was super friendly and gave us enough attention and conversation without being too present. The food was delicious! Be sure to save room for the Carmel Corn Sundae , it is to die for! We will be back again, for sure.
