Eva means full of life. It is also the initials to my children, Elias & Vivian Aboujaoude, who are my life. Eva is a space designed to be welcoming and bright, a place for great food, refreshing cocktails and lively conversation. All while sitting back to enjoy and observe the hustle & bustle of beautiful, historic Newbury Street from one of the largest outdoor patios.

    First time here at Eva and it was fantastic! The restaurant is beautiful and ambiance is perfect - and our server, Danny, couldn’t have been better! Personable, attentive, and had great recommendations for food and drink. And everything was delicious to boot. Can’t wait to return!

    Our server spilled a full glass of water on me, the table, and my phone. Was hardly apologetic and didn’t comp us anything. Food was good but didn’t make up for the poor service. I was bummed as I was looking forward to dining here.

    The down bad drink was just terrible. The restaurant was very cold inside which was a surprise. The espresso martini was just delectable and scrumptious, order the creamy. Lamb chops were banging, but not worth the value of $45. The short rib with gnocchi was amazing.

    A fantastic choice among many great choices. Eva is a must visit any time I’m in Boston. The octopus and scallops were excellent and the team at Eva made dining alone a wonderful experience.

    A group of 4 of us came here for a friend’s birthday Sunday brunch and they were out of waffles, French toast, pancakes, duck confit, and hash. The server was very rude and not approachable, she seemed to have a different personality and be a completely different person at each table, this was very weird and made us think she didn’t like us for some reason? The food took an hour to come out and two girls didn’t get their bacon (that’s part of their entree), the waitress did not check in on us so after about 10 minutes we got her attention and she brought out one plate of bacon for the two of them to share….. which was the same size as the side bacon one other girl got. Not a great experience and will not be returning here.

    This is our second time eating here and we really like it. We ran late for our reservation and it wasn't a problem. Because we were late we needed to have quick dinner so we both got salads. I had the caesar with steak. Very good. Steak cooked perfectly, a decent portion and flavorful. My dining partner also had a salad with falafel. She was very happy with it. We hope to return again when we have more time.
