The food and ambience at The Evie is very similar to Bandera, which it replaced. Very attentive service. Delicious seafood, salads and sandwiches. Love the sushi, too. We recently tried their $35 lunch. You get some of their delicious, fresh baked bread with herb butter and a selection of salads or sandwiches, a freshly baked, still warm, gigantic chocolate chip cookie and a beverage. On another visit, their ruby trout was expertly prepared and a very generous filet. My only issue is the music is a tad too loud.

Fantastic restaurant. Only two minor complaints 1) no draft beer and 2) for some reason they seem to ration the prime rib sandwich which is puzzling—simple solution: make more prime rib. It’s your featured sandwich and customers shouldn’t have to arrive by 6pm to get one… We were big fans of Bandera and although a slightly different vibe, Evie’s is right up there with its predecessor!

Overall we enjoyed our first visit. The occasion was a Sunday birthday brunch. All went well and the food was well presented. My only observation was that the red wine list by the bottle did not have a range of prices . This seemed to be odd as the white list did.

We were very impressed w Evie. We were met w a friendly smile and given a table by the window. Our server, Paige, couldn’t have provided any better service. She was excellent! We got the skirt steak and shrimp special as well as the old “Bandera” salad. It was wonderful. Beautiful restaurant!! We will be back!!

From start to finish, our experience was excellent. Our server was attentive without being annoying. The large square ice cube in my husband’s Negroni was crystal clear. My Pear Down drink was spot on and the dried pear garnish was also tasty! We had three sushi rolls, the magnificent mile, volcano and shrimp rangoon, and they were all artfully done and delicious. My son insisted that the shrimp rangoon roll was the best roll he ever tasted. I had the Steak Frites; which was cooked perfectly, tender and delicious. I’ve always been afraid to make it at home, for fear it would be tough and tasteless. For dessert, we tried the bananas foster baked Alaska, and it did not disappoint! The presentation was awesome with a slash of rum and set on fire at the table. My younger teenage son is sensitive to noisy venues and found the acoustics perfect for his sensitive ears. We could hear our party easily and the background noise was not bothersome, even though we were seated in the row of booths next to the bar. The ambience was quite enjoyable and pleasing to the eye. The prices were on par with the food. We greatly enjoyed our evening at The Evie and will be back!

Nice view from the second floor along Michigan Avenue. Menu offered a wide selection for lunch. Overhead music was too loud, even when I asked if it the volume could be turned down to allow for conversation. We ordered from the corporate business lunch menu, a prefix menu. Little did we know that when ordering ice tea as a selection, only one glass was included. Any refills were charged.

We had a lovely dining experience the night before Thanksgiving. The ambiance and service were the highlights of the evening! Very attentive. Sat by the window with my 2 sons. Sushi and lobster rolls were excellent, as well as highly recommend the Key Lime Pie for dessert! Looking forward to coming back soon.

We had a delicious, pre-holiday dinner at The Evie. We shared the apple salad (composed of tender greens, cheddar, cranberries, pecans & grilled Delicata squash), then we both ordered the lobster roll. It was chock full of tastily seasoned lobster meat, with drawn butter on the side. We also had a table at the window—a bonus due to the holiday lights of Michigan Avenue. The restaurant was also beautifully decorated for the holidays. We hope to visit again very soon.

Sushi rolls were fresh and flavorful. Bread pudding was dense and delicious. Apple salad was good, the squash was seasoned deliciously. Our only concern was the salad came with more dressing on it than we care for, we should've asked for it on the side. Beautiful place with a nice atmosphere and view of Michigan Ave. It was easy to have conversations.
