    Dinner at Evvia Estiatorio was a wonderful experience! Everything from the food to the service and ambiance were delightful. Our waiter checked in often, made delicious recommendations, always made sure our glasses were full, and did all the little things to make our dinner enjoyable. His genuine passion for his restaurant and Greek cuisine truly enhanced our meal. We ordered the Octapodaki tou Yiorgou octopus, watermelon feta salad, Avgolemono soup, Arni Souvlaki lamb skewers and Arnisia Paidakia lamb chops. Every dish was full of flavor. The highlight of the evening was the Arnisia Paidakia lamb chops. The lamb was seasoned with a delightful blend of herbs and spices, and certainly a special dish. One of the best lamb chops I have ever had. I'm looking forward to coming back!

    Came here with some friends and I must say this place has some good lamb riblets. Definitely a must get we had to get a second order of it. Service was good. Just a little dark inside especially if you are in the corner. But other than that I'd keep coming back just for the lamb.

    Nice food, great service and ambiance. Went here with a party of 4, sampled few dishes and enjoyed most of them. 1. Karpouzi me feta - rating 4.5/5 Fresh water melon drizzled with olive oil, pine nuts, feta cheese and basic microgreens . Refreshing on a summer day! 2. Spanakopita- rating 4/5 Filo pastry filled with cheese/spinach combo. Much better than many other places I have eaten these at 3. Evvia flatbread - rating 3/5 Least liked by the entire group. Mainly due to overpowering sweet layer of caramelized onions 4. Lamb riblets - rating 4/5 Nice lamb riblets, little greasy for my taste and the flesh itself was a hit or a miss on some pieces it was chewy vs some were not 5. Lamb chops - rating 4.6/5 Medium rare lamb chops. Very well made and seasoned 6. Chicken souvlaki - rating 3.9/5 Grilled chicken, red capsicum and onion skewer with side of salad, tzatziki and potatoes Well made mostly except chicken was a little dry 7. Galaktoboreko - rating 4/5 Filo pastry filled with semolina custard, served with ice cream and crumble. Really nice desert. Ice cream was too sweet as well as the custard for me, but not for couple others on the table. Liked the idea of semolina custard inside the filo pastry.

    I've been to their sister restaurant, Kokkari, in SF a couple times and my friend and I wanted to check out the Evvia. Evvia is just as awesome food wise, but with a more relaxed atmosphere than Kokkari: dare I say more Mediterranean? Anyway, we were greeted warmly by Panos, the manager, and he sat us at a lovely table. We looked over the lunch menu and started with the Evvia salad, which was fabulously fresh. We ordered the Saghanaki. Who knew fried cheese could be so delicious? That was a standout dish. Another great dish was the octopus. I am still amazed how they can prepare octopus with such a buttery texture. It is not chewy at all. The ravioli was good. The Lavraki (sea bass) was tender and delicious. For desserts, we had the Galaktoboureko, which was rich and decadent. The pistachio ice cream on the side was a wonderful addition. And we also Yiaouti Sorbet, which was light and refreshing. We also had the Greek coffee. That was one of the best Greek coffees I've had. Evvia is a treat for the tastebuds with elevated Greek fare and a relaxed vibe. I cannot wait to go back!
