    This was my first time dining at Evelyn’s, and it exceeded every expectation. Chris, our server, was an absolute delight and guided us into the perfect menu. We started with the oysters, followed by the tuna kibbeh nayeh and octopus, and then the wagyu skewer, mushroom skewer and batata side. Everything was delicious—highly recommend.

    Spectacular as always. There were six of us for dinner on Monday night and they handled it effortlessly. The food was spot on as always and the service quick and attentive. The live entertainment was quality and of course the "entertainment" outside was exciting as well. Although ultimately pricey, it is well worth the cost. We've been here a number of times from Boca Raton and will continue to take the trip. We had out of town guests and they were blown away. Keep it up Ibiza!
