    Have always had a wonderful experience at Evaga. We received very good wait service (attentive, but not overbearing), the food was delicious and the kitchen took into account specific requests with ease. Their cocktail list is extensive and the mimosas were the perfect combination of alcohol and juice. Highly recommend--a diamond in the desert!

    We chose Evanga to celebrate both my husband's birthday and our 9 year anniversary, noting this special occasion in our reservation. We were excited to try it out based on the rave reviews about the "experience," but unfortunately, the visit did not live up to our expectations. The chicken satay was the highlight of our meal and the best thing we ate. However, the rest of the food was disappointing. The arachera was bland and unseasoned, and the shrimp and artichoke dish also lacked flavor. The overall lack of seasoning made the meal less enjoyable than we had hoped. The drinks were particularly inconsistent. One of our margaritas was so strong that it was undrinkable, which seemed to be due to the server forgetting our second margarita on a couple of occasions. After several visits to our table, it became clear that the drink had been overlooked, even though the restaurant was rather empty. Additionally, despite the special occasion being noted in our reservation, our anniversary and birthday were not acknowledged at all. This information should have been visible through the OpenTable system you use for seating. Overall, the experience was a letdown compared to what we anticipated, and we regretted not sticking with our usual favorites (like Chili's or Texas Roadhouse).

    Walking in very clean amd open, the bar looks a little blah needs more attraction on the walls or the windows. Our server was Ivan I believe. It took him about more than 5 mins to attend us, he didn't welcome us to the place, he didn't know if the roasted mushroom pizza had mushrooms, he didn't know if they had blu cheese dressing, amd he didn't help out to notice our table was to wobbly. On the other had one of the cooks and the GM I want to say john or Johnathan? He was great! He asked if it was our first time, he fixed our table , he asked if we needed anything. Other servers would come to pick up our plates amd refill out drinks other than our own server. We asked for a to go box for our pizza and he brings the smallest box when we had half a pizza to go. Quickly this other gentleman noticed amd brought out a bigger box and he put it away for us to go thank you. We started with the loaded fries amd will recommend them . They had burnt ends , cheese and bar bque very flavorful. The pizza was good but to much 4 cooking it a bit longer. We also tried the shrimp and artichoke pasta. The pasta a bit hard still but the flavor was great . Plus, our server also forgot we had ordered it and it came out a bit late and cold. The drinks were delicious. I will go back but hoping with a better server who pays attention and is attentive. Thank you management for your service friday night.

    I love this restaurant, I have been there before for brunch, however, dinner wasn’t as good as brunch. The meat was too hard, paella didn’t have a good flavor. Hopefully they can improve those things for next time.
