It's always a great meal at Evvia. Two of us had the lamb shank which is always a large portion of meat, one of us the lamb chops, and the fourth the shrimp dish. Flavorful, healthy portions, and well seasoned. Our server was friendly and professional, and guided us to try the squash appetizer which we all loved. Even on a Monday night the restaurant was full, but not noisy. We were fortunate to get a table on short notice, as Evvia is always booked well in advance...for good reason!

This was my third time here and it’s fantastic. The attention to details, the service, impeccable. The owner, Angela, introduces herself and will give insight to an aspect of the shop. It’s beautifully decorated and I look forward to planning occasions to visit again. 10/10
