We had 8:30 pm reservations for a party of 4 this past Saturday night. With the menu fresh in our heads and the GPS set , we got ourselves to Evvia's on time and plenty hungry.
The place was crowded, and we were parked at the small bar to wait for our table. For what I thought would be a few minutes. But then 10 minutes go by, and 20, 30 ...

This place is a lot of fun with fantastic food... you must try the braised lamb shank! Our waiter walked us through the whole process and made great recommendations... we had a blast and can't wait to get back.
