  • Charming
Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

    I love tis place. They bring excellence to everything they do. From the moment you walk in you r=are greeted in a lovely and respectful way. It is rare these days to enter a business and know from the outset that they value your patronage and I feel that here. Every bite of food i have ever had here is superb as is the service ... always. It is expensive but worth every penny. Come and EnJOY!

    Always a satisfying meal. This visit we really loved the seasonal heirloom tomato salad. Just pure summer on a plate. ✓ Seasonal Heirloom tomato salad with EVOO and aged balsamic — seasonal joy ✓ Octopus grilled octopus with lemon, oregano & olive oil — outstanding ✓ Chicken Souvlaki chicken breast, peppers & onion skewer with tzatziki, cucumber salad & potatoes ✓ great bread and they're happy to give you more ▪ Roasted Corn oven roasted corn with feta, chili butter & Evvia dressing — undercooked corn and needed more feta ⁃ Prawns wood oven roasted prawns, Calabrian chili butter, tomatoes & scallions — not great prawns and a wet sauce

    Outstanding food and service. Got the whole fish (Mediterranean sea bass) which was excellent. Disappointed that the patio seating was closed. Sat inside next to the area were food was cooked and served which was not the best as the table was not very private for our wedding anniversary dinner celebration. Will return when patio seating is open.

    Service was spectacular: the professionalism of experienced staff. Food was also excellent, only one note: it would be nice to have a greater variety of flavors on the proteins. The lamb and fish of the day had the same herbs-and-lemon-and-olive-oil sauce, which is delicious, but it would be nice to have an alternative option for the fish of the day. I would have loved to have the branzino with fennel, for instance.
