    Really is gorgeous inside and outside. Wasn’t sure it was going to be so great outside with it being sort of on US1. But you really wouldn’t know it and the downtown lights up so perfectly at night from their patio… My veal chop was outstanding… my friends seemed to enjoy their pasta. Server was great and didn’t rush us at all, we enjoyed our night!

    We absolutely love this restaurant. It is our 4th time dining with them. Everything was impeccable, from the hostess, to the waitress and the owners. The food was as always beyond delicious. For Christmas Eve they had a singer that did traditional Christmas carols and some Greek music, which just added to the festivities. Wish I could remember our waitresses name, she was so attentive, warm and funny. We hope to have her again.

    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.
