The food, service and ambiance were fabulous. We had the baba ganouj, lamb tagine, and mixed grill. I had a flight of Lebanese red wines and my husband had the Arabian Nights cocktail. Everything was perfect! We will definitely be back.

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.

We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. Rene was our server / bartender. He mixed up delicious cocktails. We had the spicy tequila drink & the espresso martini. Both were delicious. They have a list of appetizers included in the HH special menu. The estofado was so tender and delicious and crispy eggplant had a nice flavor. We also enjoyed the patatas bravas and bacalao croquetas. Dessert was the main event. We love the cheesecake serves with ice cream and honey. Sooooooo delicious. We shared it but should have each gotten our own. There was a musician playing and flamenco dancer dancing. All in all, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!
