Our server Luis made a casual Saturday meal into a special occasion. With his knowledge of the kitchen operation, he was able to pace the courses perfectly without our even asking him. Key feature of his great service (and of all high level servers): he listened to us and delivered accordingly. Oh, and the pizza is very tasty too!

Been craving mussels so this was the perfect stop after 5pm Mass on Christmas Eve. Enjoyed the Christmas Cookie Ale with my husband and my brother visiting from Vegas. Perfect way to kick off Christmas. Thank You!

Had a lovely dinner with the family on Christmas Eve. Our service was fabulous, the food was delicious and the ambience was festive and comfortable. It had been about 35 years since we were there last time - much has changed. We kept it simple with ordering calamari (so fresh!), pizza (surprisingly fantastic and so much pepperoni!), salads (huge and fresh) and fish and chips (crunchy and light and mounds of chips). We plan to return again very soon!

Haven’t been to Evening Star in a few years but was happy to experience the same charming service and tasty food. I had the cavitelli pasta which was amazing. My friends all had the meatloaf which they raved about. Great dinner and will not wait so long to return for another dinner.
