    I do recommend this place, especially for brunch, but don’t order the cheese plate. Really bad quality.

    Excellent meal and service. Cozy setting with adequate table lighting. Recent Washington Post review was top notch so that moved us to check out Evelyn Rose after months of procrastination! I love that the tasting menu items can be 1) ordered a la carte and 2) not all diners need to choose that menu. More restaurants need to follow their lead. We will return for Happy Hour, always a nice way to save a few bucks. Hats off to the team, front and back of the house.

    Outstanding New Orleans Cajun and Creole food, completed by great service. Loved the wooden booths and bluesy vibe. The Orleans trout was delicious, as was the shrimp and crab etouffee.
