- JJeremyVIPPhiladelphia County •494 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 24, 2025We were going to try the White Horse a few doors down but the outside checkin guy was rather rude and unhelpful. Searched Opentable and Eva was almost next door. What a great find. Excellent, welcoming and friendly service. Great food and drinks. Eat at Eva’s. We will be back. So glad we found it versus our original plan.More infoEvaPrice: Expensive• Tapas / Small Plates• Salt Lake City•4.8

- AAshleyVIPUtah •106 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 21, 2025First visit to The Rest. Loved entering Bodega and being guided downstairs to the speakeasy. Such a unique space…very upscale Western with the mounted game on walls, saddle seats at bar and beautiful wood throughout. Really enjoyed the turntable and record selection. Tonight was Tears for Fears and Elton John. Server Jack was great! Helped with drink and food recommendations. Lavender Haze cocktail was yummy! Food was good. Burrata was great (bread not so much…dry and tasteless). Salmon skewers are a must….delicious! We shared the beer can chicken. Were told it was a 45 wait, and unfortunately, we were underwhelmed. Chicken was moist, but lacked flavor. The warm potato salad shined more than the chicken and the spring veggies were tasty too. The beignets were the perfect way to end our meal. Will definitely go back with friends for drinks and apps!More infoThe RestPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.6
