    It’s an amazing restaurant with really good and high quality food. The “cauliflower 3 ways” were phenomenal. The staff care about their clients and the drinks are great.

    What an AMAZING dinner at Evolution! You’ve got to try the cauliflower 3 ways. We had that and the cod dip to start with house made focaccia, both were delicious. We also go the massive and tender beef rib (you could totally share) that came with the creamiest polenta. Also tried the branzino and it was so light and I could drink the sauce it comes in. We were guided by the sommelier to choose a nice Pinot noir. Our server Josh was impeccable, it’s a next level dining experience.

    It was just okay. The salmon crudo app was very good. My husband has the chicken sandwich, which he said was good, but for $17 should come with fries or chips or something. I had the branzino, which was okay, but the sauce on it was way too rich (almost tasted cheesy) and, again, at $36 should have come with some type of side. Drinks were very good and service was great. We may be back, but for just drinks and apps next time.

    Checked out this new restaurant in downtown Manchester and it did not disappoint. Higher price point, but the service was top notch and the food was very good. The cauliflower 3 ways was absolutely delicious. I got a caesar salad with pan seared salmon, which was tasty, and my friend got a chicken sandwich, which he said was good. It didn't come with fries or a salad, but the manager mentioned that they will likely be tweaking that in the future. The people next to us got the filet and the salmon and it looked delicious. Evolution has a nice, upscale ambiance and a good energetic vibe by the bar. I'll definitely go back.

    What a great experience. The food was excellent. The staff is always great and knows their craft. The new look is great. Can't wait to see the other steps for the full opening and all the unique things this place had to offer.
