Underwhelming. Probably a decent place to have a drink outside in the summer. Below mediocre for a meal.

The food was mediocre and high priced for what it was, although the prices are moderate. Avocado toast arrived with a thin smear of avocado, barely visible on the toast. A waffle was both ice cold and had just a few berries on it. There is a TV in one corner by the bar, so there were sounds of loud cheers every so often. This was in addition to an almost unbearably loud room in which my companion and I needed to shout to hear each other. Our server was wonderful but she couldn’t compensate for the otherwise poor experience. there are lots of good restaurants in the area. Go to one of those rather than here.

Very poor service from the hostess. She seemed annoyed that we (or anyone else) were there. We chose to ignore the previous reviews and we shouldn't have. We had a reservation and were told it would be 5 minutes. 30 minutes later we were seated at a table that was open when we walked in. Then, towards the end of the dinner, they asked us to 'hurry up' so the could seat a large group. Our waitress was very pleasant but the food and drinks were mediocre at best - certainly not worth the cost. Pasta was good. Tomato soup was overly sweet, and drinks were not good. There are certainly better choices in the area

First time here at Eva and it was fantastic! The restaurant is beautiful and ambiance is perfect - and our server, Danny, couldn’t have been better! Personable, attentive, and had great recommendations for food and drink. And everything was delicious to boot. Can’t wait to return!

Our server spilled a full glass of water on me, the table, and my phone. Was hardly apologetic and didn’t comp us anything. Food was good but didn’t make up for the poor service. I was bummed as I was looking forward to dining here.

The down bad drink was just terrible. The restaurant was very cold inside which was a surprise. The espresso martini was just delectable and scrumptious, order the creamy. Lamb chops were banging, but not worth the value of $45. The short rib with gnocchi was amazing.
