We celebrated our anniversary. They gave us the table we requested and made us a special “happy anniversary” card too, and decorated our dessert. We are regulars and they remembered us. Very enjoyable.

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.
