Had the fried oysters and Filet Mignon. Both very good. Steak was slightly overlooked but not to the point where I needed to complain. 6 person party and everybody thoroughly enjoyed their dish Waiter was honest and very helpful. More

One of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. Were so impressed, returned the next night. Very reasonably priced for high quality food. Each course was amazing. When food is so well presented like this, you expect it to be bland tasting and in small quantities but not at Evoo. Make sure you have dessert - highly recommend the... More

Excellent restaurant and service, enjoyed each course of a late night dinner (9:30-10 pm) with my vegetarian university student son. Walking distance from Kendall Square line. Salads were fresh, dressing subtle and unique, Main fare was filling, delicious, exquisite melding of flavors. I enjoyed the spiciness of my chicken and the chardonnay was excellent. The restaurant's location is a bit... More

They do stretch and offer interesting and unusual things on the menu and well-prepared. The service was excellent, very professional and pleasant. Ambience is just okay, somewhat below average. Cocktails were very good. I like the three-course approach. LOVE the salted caramel ice cream! More

My husband and best friend joined me for a night at EVOO, we had a reservation, showed up on time and were immediately seated. The staff was all incredibly nice, not overbearing and checking in on us when we needed. Our server even called us a cab at the end of the meal. The food was phenomenal, and such a... More

5 of us had dinner on Friday night - all of the apps, entrees, desserts, and wine were excellent. Couldn't have asked for better food or presentation. Nobody rushed us, we were all catching up and must have there over 3 hours. Loved the food and we'll definitely be back. More
