    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!

    Zaytinya is gorgeous, and every dish is better than the last. The staff is attentive but not overbearing, and the entire experience is perfect. I live up by Napa, and am still happy to make the drive to Palo Alto for Zaytinya. The menu is very flexible for dietary needs.
