    Everything exceeded our expectations! Very lively, convivial vibe! Reminiscent of a taverna in Santorini. Very attentive, friendly staff from the moment we walked in and were greeted by the host. Server was excellent and knowledgeable and both the manager and the owner introduced themselves and checked on our service and food. We will definitely add this to our regular rotation.

    I googled the best restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, and Evelyn’s showed up at the top of the list. My boyfriend was hesitant to go based on the menu, but boy, we both ended up loving the place! Carlton, our server, is very attentive and has the best smile with a contagious laugh that will put you in a great mood. Highly recommend requesting Carlton (this man deserves a raise and a promotion) if you’re going to Evelyn’s. Drinks were great, and the food was just outstanding. I cannot emphasize how amazing this place is, and you definitely get what you pay for. Nothing is worse than going to dinner and paying high prices when the food and experience were not up to par, but Evelyn's sets an example of how an establishment should be operated. Not pictured is the half chicken and we both agreed it was flavorful and moist.

    Escape Rooftop bar was an amazing place. What made the night was our server Amy. She was kind, accommodating and as I said to her, she was “my kind of people”. The ambience was incredible and the food was delicious. We are only here for a few days but will most likely make another trip up there!
