Great food and service. Fried baby artichokes are divine!

Food was wonderful as was the staff. We celebrated our 30th anniversary and we were met by a hand written card and hand made wine stopper. I had the bolognese "dirty" and practically licked the plate clean. The asparagus cream soup and au gratin potatoes were also excellent. I also live their ethos and that they pay their staff a living wage with benefits. Just all around lovely.

Great and innovative menu, amazing staff. My favorite place in HBG, order the ribs.

We visited Evangeline for brunch on a Sunday morning. The croque madame was delicious, the bread pudding was moist and without raisins, the coffee was hot and fresh and the fritto misto was tender, crispy and yummy. I was really surprised that we were the only ones there as I thought it was fabulous.
