    Drea was our server and she was excellent! Great, timely service with attention to the smallest details. The food menu for brunch still has favorites like chicken and waffles, but also has new items. I especially liked smoked brisket toast, which is a spin on avocado toast. The umami flavors on this were amazing! Also, paired well with their house made Bloody Mary's. As always the quaint cafe delivers amazing ambiance and great food!

    We visited Evening Star for our anniversary, and the service was great. We had a reservation for 11, and needed it moved back a bit in order to find parking and the staff was so understanding and kind about it. The food was phenomenal- we got the smoked brisket toast and the smoked pork hash, as well as a Bloody Mary and a coffee. 10/10, would definitely visit again!

    We love Evening Star Cafe. But service this time was SLOW. We waited for a long time for drinks. Appetizers came. And we waited a LONG time for the main course. The dessert course was wrong for 3 (out of 4) of us. Apparently the place was short-staffed. Hope the new time is better.

    This was our first visit to Evening Star, but it won’t be our last. The food was delicious and the service was friendly, at tentative and fast and the ambience is very nice. The only downside is the noise level - at peak times it can get painfully load and hard to hold a conversation with dining companions, All in, a wonderful experience.

    Last night, my friend and I went to Evening Star for my birthday dinner. It was restaurant week so we had to order a 3 course meal. We also were a later table - 8:30pm. Our server couldn’t have been less happy to see us be seated. She wanted us to order our full meal as soon as she brought us water - but it was my BDAY so we wanted to share a drink first. Then we ordered. She brought us our first course in less than a minute. I order fried Brussels. They were black and thrown on the plate. After a few bites, I returned them. The manager who happened to swing by brought me a salad instead. As I was 2 bites into my salad, my salmon arrived. No worries. I keep eating my salad. Then my dessert arrives. So now i have 3 plates lined up. I’m finishing my salad while watching my dessert melt into the plate. I the try the salmon - so salty; horrible risotto. Server swings by and she asks me if I want a box for my salad and salmon I decline so she asks — you want me to trash it? Ahh - yeah. I eat a bit of my dessert. While m doing so another server swings by to tell me she will be vacuuming and it will be really loud. This is 3 minutes before the restaurant even closes. The bar is hopping behind me but all the servers want us out. Food was horrible; service was off the charts horrible and managers reaction when I shared some of our experience was non-plused. Offered us a glass of wine but we were walking out… Suggest one goes anywhere else to spend their hard earned money

    Hi Angie. I am extremely distressed to hear about your experience, and I apologize. There is no excuse for such poor service, and we will be addressing this with our team. It is not typical of the Star, and we would appreciate the opportunity to have you back as our guest. I'll reach out separately with my contact information. Thanks for letting us know, and we hope to have you back soon. Stephanie

    We hadn't been to Evening Star in several years, so we thought Restaurant Week was a good chance to check it out again. The food was consistently good and the service was excellent. We love the cozy atmosphere inside and we look forward to checking out their outdoor seating options next time. Also, that chocolate cake with Biscoff icing was insanely good. I could eat it every day!!

    This spot was really cute, we thought we had been here, but we had been next door. I liked it was small and quaint. The food was great for what we got, but we were bummed that some options weren't available. With that said, everything we had was amazing! The brussel sprouts were definitely our favorite. Service was great when ht came to the server, but the busboy was slow at the water and check service. We liked how intimate and quiet this place was. Didn't realize we were the only ones left at the end of the night and it was barely 10 pm. Would definitely go back!

    My husband enjoyed the pan-seared chicken (he was a bit sad the chicken parm was gone). Side order potatoes perfect, though they arrived late in the meal. Arugula salad perfect especially on a summer evening. Tasty mix of flavors and textures. Took off a star for the cavatelli with mushrooms. Mostly pasta. I wouldn't have ordered it if I'd realized it would be a plate of pasta.

    We had a reservation for Monday at 6 PM, so the restaurant was fairly dead at the time. We had a few questions about the menu as well as warning the server that I had a nut allergy. These requests are handled well, and we then ordered our food. The food was well prepared and reasonably priced. Bonus: since it was our anniversary, they comped us our desserts. It was a nice touch.

    Ate at Evening Star for an early Saturday brunch. Coffee was great and food was very good. Eggs on eggs Benedict were perfectly poached and hollandaise was wonderful. Portions were a little small for the prices, especially for the chicken & waffle. It was only a half waffle, and a tiny thigh/leg piece of chicken. Both were excellent but I left hungry. Come on, at least give me a whole waffle - batter isn’t that expensive!! Overall, however, our experience at ESC was great. We’d go back.

    Hi Evelyn, Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback! I apologize for the portion sizes and wanted to let you know, since your recent visit we have revamped the Chicken & Waffle to a FULL waffle and a buttermilk brined chicken breast instead of the thigh. We do hope you can join us again soon and give us another try. Best Regards, Lauren Brown General Manager

    The food was great but the vegetables that came with the main dish was a very very small portion. The scallops and asparagus had about 8 delicious scallops but only 4 sprigs is asparagus. The service was great and so were the drinks from the bar. Next time I go I will get a vegetable appetizer too.

    Our first visit, we plan to go back and if it's as good next time we'll be giving 5 stars. We usually wait to see if a restaurant is consistent. Very welcoming and excellent service throughout our meal. We appreciated the sparkling wine at the start to celebrate our anniversary (we mentioned it in our reservation). My husband and I told our friendly, helpful server - Maddie - that we planned to share 2 entrees. The kitchen did the cutting, plating them separately. Fabulous! Chicken schnitzel was excellent. Babette cooked perfectly as we requested. It could have been a bit tastier cut. Great potato accompaniment. Arugula salad and broccoli rabe were good. Thanks!

    My friend recommended the cafe. We sat outside on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The food was very good. I had the frittata and she had the pork belly with an egg and grits. Somehow a side of grits was ordered so I had a chance to taste them. Nice and smooth and buttery! I’m a new Englander so grits are not something I was that familiar with. I would definitely recommend and go back!

    Food was underwhelming. I had the pork chop which was barely warm when it arrived and the Parmesan grits tasted like nothing.

    Hi there, It sounds like we dropped the ball on this one! I apologize about your pork chop and would love for you to visit us again and try another dish. Did you happen to get a chance to speak with an MOD at the time of your visit? If not, my apologies again. My email is lbrown@eveningstarcafe.net, please feel free to reach out and I'd love the chance to invite you back in for another try. Best Regards, Lauren Brown General Manager

    Great friendly service, fantastic food (portion size perfect) and the option to buy your wine from the shop next door completes the package.
