Amazing food and service. We visited 3 times on a holiday from Toronto, and had great food and service every time. Things the gem of Fort Lauderdale. The only improvement would be the noise level on Saturday night on the patio- music was quite loud and made conversation a bit difficult. Otherwise fantastic, thanks 3S!!!

This was my first time dining at Evelyn’s, and it exceeded every expectation. Chris, our server, was an absolute delight and guided us into the perfect menu. We started with the oysters, followed by the tuna kibbeh nayeh and octopus, and then the wagyu skewer, mushroom skewer and batata side. Everything was delicious—highly recommend.
