Everything was good except the noise level at lunchtime in the main part of the restaurant. We could not hear each other speak. We had to move to the annex in back, which was fine.

Outstanding food, great service. Requested a special table and they remembered and sat us right there. Three courses is probably too much food, but they are very gracious about packing everything to take home.

really good food and unique location / atmosphere. service was a bit on the slower side but not annoyingly so. acoustics aren't great - glass walls and ceilings - so it's quite loud inside even partially full. a bit on the pricey side for what you get, but it is very well done (and what isn't overpriced in the valley?).

I hadn’t been to Evvia in years and it was so great to go back. My friend and I shared a bunch of appetizers: meatballs, octopus, roasted beets and the butternut squash. The octopus was fantastic as were the meatballs. We each had a glass of wine and the whole meal was $100. Will definitely do that again.
