What tkz likes about Evvia:
David was a superb waiter... Really did a great job helping us navigate the menu... He was very attentive. The food was excellent, had the saganaki and the calamari apps, with the mesquite grilled lamb chops. Saganaki was so good! Calamari was very tender, perfectly fried! The lamb, with no discernable mesquite flavor, was exceptional. Perfectly cooked, tender and extremely flavorful. View all feedback. What EduardoG doesn't like about Evvia:
I loved this restaurant but today, the appetizers and desserts were fine but the entrees tasted like cooked a day before. We were five people and all of the different meats in the entrees tasted like were left overs from a day before. Completely dry. The pork shoulder, the chicken and the lamb. Never again!!

read moreReally good food and wonderful service. I would reload this restaurant to everyone!
I've eaten here three times in the last two months and the last two times were not great. the lamb hacks were this last time extremely chewing with little taste
Been there many times, always love the staff and food! Glad they are still keeping the good quality on food, all the staff are very professional and friendly.

read moreEvvia in Palo Alto is a favorite among locals, offering incredible food with every dish being delicious. Highlights include the octopus starter and braised lamb shank, along with an excellent wine list featuring Greek wines. The warm and inviting atmosphere is elevated by servers like Vasilios, who provide amazing recommendations. While the food consistently impresses, some reviews mention issues with service that detract from the overall experience. However, for special occasions or a truly standout dining experience, Evvia is a top choice with impeccable service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere.
