    What a terrific place. The staff was very attentive and very accommodating of my 92-year old mother who uses a walker. Food was delicious. Service was timely and allowed us to easily get to our performance at the Lucie Stern Theater in plenty of time.

    I have to go back many more time to try everything on the menu. The food was outstanding. The service was really good, our waitress was very nice, respectful of our space and always on top making sure the table was clean and we had everything needed. Amazing experience all around.

    The food was excellent. We especially enjoyed the outstanding jazz trio of Mikel Bee (drummer), pianist, and bassist—excellent taste in the standards, solid rhythms, and savvy voicings. The filet minion souvlaki was delicious. Another nice touch was the tasty hot roll with olive oil while waiting for our order. We did not have a drink since we had to work tomorrow morning, but the bar appeared well-stocked, and the drinks looked attractive. We'll return, especially for the music offered on Monday nights (5-9 pm). It is about time that San Carlos had some hip live music happening again.

    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.
