  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

    For daughter’s birthday dinner, she requested Evvia. More specifically, she requested Evvia’s lamb chops. I had lamb shank that was delicious. Octopus appetizer was sooo good. Loved dessert that is phyllo rolls filled with warm custard. Terrific staff; Francisco guided us through menu with descriptions and recommendations.

    Our server was hurrying up and removing our plates before we can wrap up our meal and we found to be extremely rude.
