Evelyn Rose

10/10 experience. My husband took me for my birthday and everyone at Evelyn Rose made me feel so special. Eliana was an awesome server and made me laugh, as well as offered great recommendations and fast service. The food was SO. GOOD. The tamale was fantastic, the rustic potatoes are a must, the rainbow trout was cooked perfectly and the pirogies had so much flavor. Will be back!

Incredible meal start to finish. Jamon Iberico and spiced pecan was delicious combination. Had the pappardelle pasta entree that was amazing especially paired with the sommeliers Gamay recommendation. They have such a great dessert variety as well. Mahmood was a great waiter and treated us so well while we celebrated a birthday, even brought out champagne to toast! It was great to see a slightly younger crowd too, felt less stuffy than Bazins. We will definitely come back!

I was very much looking forward to Evelyn Rose based on the reviews I'd read as a restaurant to celebrate a special evening with dear friends. I had a bit of trouble reaching someone to make my reservation for 7 people (I emailed and had to leave 2 voicemails as well), but I understood that typically they do not book for tables larger than 6 people. I appreciate their flexibility. The ambiance is gorgeous and the menu is quite interesting. Unfortunately, the food quality was uneven. The kangaroo tartare was tasty and complex. The mackerel crudo was MAGNIFICENT. The beet salad was also lovely. However, the fried green tomatoes were barely edible. The bread was just fine, as were the beef fat fries. My scallops were cooked beautifully, but the peach utterly disappeared, flavor-wise and the mushy texture was less than appetizing. I heard good things about the burger, ratatouille, and pasta, but no raves. I was disappointed in dessert, other than the pana cotta everything looked pretty without tasting all that great. The brownie chunks in my brownie sundae were cold, dense bricks. Our server was lovely and attentive. I saw the manager checking in with all of the tables around us, but he never checked in with us. I'm not sure if he personally knew all of those other patrons, or if he preferred to avoid a table full of women, but I found that rather odd and off-putting. I enjoyed my experience overall, which is why I rated this 4 stars (I cannot deny the deliciousness of that crudo, beet salad, and kangaroo). I admire the adventurous nature of the menu. I loved the ambiance. However, I'm not sure that I will return.
