They were both incredible, and I strongly recommend either, and especially both together. The cocktails, the food, and the wine were all absolutely phenomenal, and each bite or sip was an experience unto itself. But what really set it over the top was the service. You might recognize the restaurant from S02E07 of The Bear, Forks. And our captain, Paulina, was actually in the episode. She was remarkable, and the entire service from beginning to end was flawless. They were so careful, attentive, and thoughtful. The whole time, I just felt delighted. I 'll definitely be recommending it to others, and going back in the future. And not just because they gave me one of the staff pins and a tour of the kitchen. Thank you, chefs! It was definitely a love story.

Service was a harmonious integration of attention, professionalism, and friendly personable conversation. Food was flavorful, innovative without being tacky, and just enough to satisfy. The ambience is modern but inviting, and the Matthew McConaughey narrated audiobook playing in the WC was a brilliant touch. I've haven't been everywhere, but when I get a chance I'll be back to Ever. PS After makes a mean cocktail and is the perfect spot to linger before or after

The staff was very knowledgeable about the food and wine paring. After the meal, we had a kitchen tour. I’m impressed by how clean and organized it is. I’d definitely recommend you to come here. Pricing is transparent.

Service was excellent. The meal was extremely good, but we ultimately favored other tasting experiences in the city over the one we had that evening. Just our personal taste. We will return to try another season later.

This place lives up to its depiction on The Bear, and more. The food is exceptional, creative, and delicious. The service is warm and attentive, flawless and never pretentious. My favorite bites were the Agnalotti pasta and the green beans. The blueberries from Michigan were also out of this world. Even though the food was some of the best I've tasted, I was left even more impressed by the perfectly synchronized service and the kindness of the staff. Their devotion to serving their guests kindly and thoughtfully is clear at every turn. For me, the food and service was on par with the French Laundry. I feel a third Michelin star will be coming for Ever soon. In summary, one of the best meals Ever... and I can't wait to come back.

It was the best night EVER. The evening started with drinks. We ordered the non-alcoholic pairing to go with the menu. Course after course was an elevated experience with delicious bite after bite. The evening finale included tour of the back-of-the-house, meeting chef and signed copy of menu. My stomach and heart are so full. I can't wait to return. Highly recommend EVER!

Nearing our dinner reservations we were lead through a spectacular what looked like a secret passage way, absolutely loved it. Every dish was unique with amazing flavors. We also did the wine pairing with each dish, highly recommended. I can't say enough about their staff and how professional and knowledgeable they were. Kitchen tour at the end was something special. What made this a cherry on top is we were joking if we can have some bread and butter to go lol because of how delicious it was. Being how upscale this place was we did not think some bread and butter was going to be included with our menus and chocolates.

The food was creative and meticulously crafted. Flavors of ingredients came out. The wine pairings were absolutely perfect and enriched all the dishes. Wine servings were appropriately poured, and allowed us to enjoy the entire menu without being 'overserved '. We were perfectly full but not stuffed at the end of the 10-course meal. Truly enjoyed the experience!

The sleek decor and the exquisite service are only to be outdone by the food which was paired perfectly with beautiful wines.

The presentation is stunning and the service is top-notch. The wine pairing is highly recommended as it complements the diverse and balanced menu perfectly. A brief tour of the kitchen gave us a glimpse into the precision and world-class execution required to make a restaurant of this caliber run smoothly.

We thought we knew what we’d experience that night as we had an evening at Grace a few year back as a comparable. We knew the staff of Ever would bring perfection and they did not disappoint. Our idea of perfection was redefined and everything we anticipated was greatly exceeded. The menu was the best I’ve ever experienced. Experiencing the courses was mind blowing and in some cases brought tears. The service matched at every level of perfection too. The care and attention to detail were beyond anything I’ve witnessed. It was once again perfection with the cherry on top being the kindness displayed. Our evening at Ever was not just the greatest culinary experience I’ve ever had, but one of the greatest experiences I’ve had in my life. Thank you to Ever, and I look forward our next visit.

Please work out a system so the servers can clearly identify the non-vegetarian plates from the lacto-vegetarian in my case. They mixed up my vegetarian order a couple times during the 10-course meal. I'm a frequent visitor of After lounge and and this place has amazing attention and service overall. The ambiance takes you to another place.Vegetarian options: They mixed up my vegetarian order a couple times during the 10-course meal. Specifically the asparagus and the Belgian waffle.

The service was perfectly choreographed and attentive. However, they didn't give off a stuffy or formal setting, just that everyone knew their role and did whatever it takes to make your experience better. The hostess noticed my wife was a bit cold and brought over a pashmina for her to wear.Every dish was wonderful but some standouts were the scallops with an unbelievable coconut curry sauce and the pork jowl with one of the best pieces of pasta I've ever had.Outstanding restaurant and I'd love to make it back soon.

This was my first time on this level of dining, and I was blown away. From the setting, the decoration, the attention/service, the knowledgeof the team... all the way up to the food. You've had yummy meals before, but you didn't know things can get thisinteresting! It was our anniversary dinner and the experience of last night was something incredible. Not something I couldafford to do every month, but I am happy I got to experience it.

The whole experience from the moment we were greeted by the host, to getting a private tour of the kitchen from the manager...well, there is only oneway to describe it...My Ever experience lead me to a deeper contemplation of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. I felt like I wasliving in a masterpiece of art. Simply the best restaurant experience I've had.

As soon as you walk in you see that the atmosphere, lighting and decor with the spacing of the tables make you want tostay there forever. It feels like you are secluded from the outside world. Everyone who is employed there is dedicated to makingyou feel like you’re the only one dining there, taking time to make conversation and answering any questions. Now, the food.Each of the several dishes in the tasting menu had the most surprising and delicate flavor combinations, with 7-8 ingredients ineach that were so well thought out. Every dish was a flavor bomb and it was hard to pick a favorite, but I would say mine wasthe frozen hamachi dish and the chicken cabbage wrap that was served with a coconut mousse — who would think that combinationwould be so incredible? This food is everything you could want in a tasting menu and the pacing and portions were perfect. Therewere three breads served with two kinds of butter throughout the dish. Several protein dishes that were perfectly sized. As soonas we finished one dish the next came right away. We left feeling very full but not uncomfortably so. The desserts were justincredible. It’s definitely expensive. $285 per person which does not include a 20% service charge any drinks you mightwant. Definitely would be my go-to for a very special occasion.

Great attention to detail. The food was exquisite with nuances that go beyond what would be considered the norm , even for fine dining.
