About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
Please note that our patio is seated on a first come first serve basis; all tables are set for a 90 minute reservation limit.

Eva means full of life. It is also the initials to my children, Elias & Vivian Aboujaoude, who are my life. Eva is a space designed to be welcoming and bright, a place for great food, refreshing cocktails and lively conversation. All while sitting back to enjoy and observe the hustle & bustle of beautiful, historic Newbury Street from one of the largest outdoor patios.

    We celebrated my son’s college graduation here with our family and the service was excellent. Everyone loved the food. It can be pretty noisy in the restaurant, but not enough to make me not recommend it.

    Unfortunately I don't have anything positive to say about this restaurant. We were served luke warm coffee and when we requested hot coffee we waited at least 15 minutes to get it. My husband and I ordered the Shakshuka which was very disappointing; a sweet plain tomato sauce ( no actual tomatoes or peppers or onions at all, with eggs and some feta on top. Supposed to be spicy, but that was undetectable. I had hoped to eat outside, but because of the rain we were stuck inside, which was nothing special.

    We have been a few times with not the best service but the food and drinks are good. This time we were celebrating Mother’s Day and while in the middle of dessert we were asked to leave because they “needed the table”. The entire time we were there, there was no service despite our server standing next to our table chatting with other staff. She barely checked on us or did anything but take our order and ask us to leave. Other people brought us our food and our drinks. While she stood there doing nothing. Service was terrible.

    Our second time dining at this restaurant. Both times we've sat inside. There is a lovely outdoor area as well. Beware, there are stairs involved to dine inside. Each time, we enjoyed great food,drinks, and service.

    Slowest service ever!! Food was good but not worth the price point. Can’t emphasize enough how slow the service was.
