   Very limited vegetarian options in the entrees . I like Kokkari, seemed like they had only one here. More importantly I think the service wasn’t as good as it usually is. Perhaps when the server heard we were vegetarian and realized our bill may not be too high he decided he wouldn’t give us the service the other patrons typically get or that I have gotten on the past when I’ve dined here. Living in the Bay Area , I would assume restaurants are used to different dietary needs.

   Solid good quality food, though perhaps somewhat over-rated and over-priced.

   We ordered a variety (7) of appetizers to share like Tapas. All were ok but very bland with none of the usual flavors of Greece. The presentation was good. Prices were high, but not more than other restaurants in the area. We had a pleasant lunch but would not go back.

    We've been going to Evvia for what seems like a decade or more. The food is delightful, they have an amazing European wine list, and the waitstaff is always warm and accommodating. I've never walked away disappointed. I look forward to trying out the new patio dining!

    This has been a favorite for almost 20 years. It was a pleasure to return to the delicious food and considerate service plus outdoor dining on a sunny day--we could hear each other speaking in normal voices. We each had the vegetarian ravioli and split the chocolate cake with cherry ice cream. Plates were as clean as they could get at the end of each course. The proximity to CalTrain is a bonus coming down from San Francisco.

    Evvia never disappoints. Both our starters (Octopus, Field Mushrooms) were outstanding and our main's (Sea bass, Halibut) were great as well. You seemingly can't go wrong.

    Everything is delicious but two things will bring me back every time I'm in Palo Alto 1) the Saghanaki, incredibly flavorful (even my husband, who is not a big fan of cheese, had to have multiple "tastes") and 2) the Galaktoboureko - a phyllo wrapped vanilla bean semolina custard with pistachio ice cream. However odd that sounds, try it. I dream about this dessert.

    We were delighted that dining tables were inches away from each other and that we did not need to hear the conversations of others. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the restaurant's menu and was very helpful and friendly. I had the restaurant's signature lamb chops and they were delicious. My companion had the halibut fish of the day and said that the fish was very fresh and good. We ended the meal with coffee and yogurt cheesecake and then went happily home.

    It was our first time at Evvia and it was spectacular! Everything we ordered was *chef’s kiss*. The octopus, lamb shank, phyllo dessert were especially good. Service was amazing too -our server gave great recommendations and was honest about the size of the dishes (we were full at the end so he gave us half a portion of dessert to try!). Overall a great experience. Would definitely come back to try new dishes.

    The food was average and not worth the price. The fish fillet special was over cooked and lacked flavor. The lambmeat balls, lamb rib appetizer and fried squid were average in flavor, nothing special. We won't be going back. Evvia had much better food some years ago. The parklet (outdoor seating) area was lovely and the service was good. But the food needs to be much better than average.

    Birthday celebration. Asked for a round table. It was not available when we arrived. They sat us by an opened door. Very drafty. Would have been nice to have had a table further back in restaurant. Very large and noisy crowd next to us. Food was generally good. Quite expensive.

    First time back to Evvia since Covid. Went for outdoor dining for late 1pm lunch. The tables were packed on the outdoor street deck, and potted olive trees provided privacy and ambiance. But the noise! Very loud. With every table full, our party of two had to shout at lunch to be heard. Also, between the tented ceiling and plastic walls, it was very warm in the sun with no breeze. The service was just ok. No water refills in empty glasses (again we were hot!), no sweetener provided for iced tea after we asked for it, then couldn't catch waiter's eye. Felt overlooked as the waiter provided service to nearby tables. Despite atmosphere and service, the moussaka and chicken souvlaki were delicious. Needless to say it was not a great experience this time.
