Evvia Estiatorio Palo Alto Reviews
I was not impressed with the service and food.
Our kids couldn't eat most of their Moussaka and Octopus Fettuccine. We went there for my Birthday and even though the staff knew it was birthday and the server mentioned it a couple of times , they did not even offer a complimentary dessert.
Great ambiance and atmosphere.
Ordered their lamb skewer main entree and it is so so tasty. Meat is perfectly done in medium rare and is juicy. The yogurt sauce, potato and veggie sides all taste great. Service is attentive. Also ordered their cheese on hot plate appetizer. That o

Hostess ruined the night the second we walked in!! Flew in on a really rainy day with lots of delays. Was meeting friends from different states, and unfortunately lots of our flights got delayed and our friends almost got canceled. She wasn't
Went to Evvia for a Saturday lunch around 1pm.
They emphasize reservations so be sure to make one beforehand - there was plenty of availability the morning of. The ambiance is classy and the tableware is beautiful. Okay to come casually dressed but is also appropriate for more polished attire.

Such a lovely spot for dinner! The atmosphere inside is warm and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing night out. We started with the dolmathes (grape leaves stuffed with rice, seasonings, and raisins) and wow, I'd never tried them before and was
We've been coming to Evvia for years.
They never disappoint us. Service is excellent, food is fantastic, and the ambiance is upscale, yet, relaxing. The halibut dish offered as a special that day, was incredible. Cooked to perfection and with a tasty sauce. My wife and friend had the
It is always such a treat to come to Evvia.
It's a truly convivial atmosphere, with some of the best overall food in the Bay Area. My server last night, Loukas, was pure class--he provided great recommendations, service, conversation, and humor. Lamb chops--best I've ever had. Hands
The fact that my grandparents have a standing reservation
The fact that my grandparents have a standing reservation every Saturday here is reason enough why anyone would love this place. My family and I have been going since they opened. As Stanford natives, my mother and grandparents are absolutely in love
I'll be back!!!
Expensive but you will love everything! You can't go wrong! The food was wonderful and servings were huge. The staff are kind and acommodating. Definitely a must in the Bay Area!
Possibly one of the best dinner restaurants in Palo Alto.
Absolutely delicious and wonderful service with great ambiance. Ordered the lamb skewers and it was very very good! Can't wait to be back!
This is easily one of the best restaurants in the bay area.
It is reasonable for fine dinning, especially when looking for a special date night or to celebrate. Every dish we had was incredible. We loved the octopus appetizer and Moussaka entrée. We have recommended it to everyone we know. What really comple
Great food, ambience and service
We had a wonderful dinner at Evvia - nice atmosphere and great food. We shared appetizers to begin with. The zucchini cakes were superb, the beet salad was good as was artichoke with eggplant. The calamari was chewy and disappointing. I had the lamb

Evvia is an outstanding Greek restaurant in downtown Palo Alto -- everything we tried impressed, and I'd gladly eat here again. I came with a few coworkers for my second time , and we decided to order a spread of appetizers along with a bottle o
Beautiful atmosphere, food disappointing
It’s always a pleasure to go to Evvia, the atmosphere is warm and unique. Very expensive dishes which is why it cannot be justified to have appetizers like the spicy cheese one and a dish like the lamb souvlaki on the menu. The cheese appetizer is
Very nice area, very nice food
We choose this restaurant as it was number one on Trip Advisor and our friend who lives in Palo Alto said it was her favourite restaurant. She'd been quite recently but was more than happy to go again. We were all very pleased with our choice a

Another wonderful meal at the Evvia.
You can't go wrong with what you order. We had family visiting from out of town. They wanted steak. We wanted vegetarian. We both were content with flavorful meals. A definite favorite for us in Palo Alto.

This was so delicious.
Sooo much better than Taverna, high quality and crazy flavorful!!! We ate lot of fish bones during this meal but it was worth. Walked in with no reservation at a cheeky 6pm and they still managed to squeeze us in, 10/10 service!

Delicious Greek Lunch at Evvia
We enjoyed our lunch today at Evvia in Palo Alto. We started by sharing Roasted Corn, then I had Chicken Souvlaki and my husband enjoyed the Pea Ravioli. Our server gave us perfect service—attentive and knowledgeable.
Delicious food and nice ambiance for sure.

Came here with some friends and I must say this place has some good lamb riblets. Definitely a must get we had to get a second order of it. Service was good. Just a little dark inside especially if you are in the corner. But other than that I'd keep

Not a lot of veggie options Appetizers are great but mains are meh, Ravioli was too buttery and full of mushrooms!
Nice food, great service and ambiance.
Went here with a party of 4, sampled few dishes and enjoyed most of them. 1. Karpouzi me feta - rating 4.5/5 Fresh water melon drizzled with olive oil, pine nuts, feta cheese and basic microgreens . Refreshing on a summer day! 2. Spanakopita- ra

Thanks to Yamila for being the best guide to all the great food!
What a fantastic meal - shout out to Yamila who was the BEST waitress ever - she steered us right every time recommending the best appetizers and main courses. Everything was amazing -personal favorites were the greek salad and almost every appetizer
Awesome service, every dish served hot, great time.
The lamb chops is the most popular.
Good food with great ambiance.
I like the octopus the most. The portion is larger than I expected.
Overall, the food is just okay.
Maybe my friends and I got the wrong food, but there wasn't anything stellar about the food. It just tasted like well cooked food, but did not justify the fairly high price points. Complimentary bread - I would have been fine with the bread if it wa
The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful inside.
The detailed decorations all around is what makes you mesmerized to dine in. However, it is very loud inside and so I selected outdoor seating for a quieter experience. Outside they have heaters to keep you warm and it's. I sky decorated with the whi
Very good food and nice atmosphere, but auite expensive.
For weekends, you should make a reservation in advance. Service was great; our waiter was super helpful with giving great recommendations. We ordered the Arnisia Paidakia and Ravioli. This place seems to specialize in lamb dishes, but the Ravioli was

The service was exceptional! All the people in here loved working at the restaurant. We ordered the Octopus salad (DEVINE!), pita pizza, lamb chops and the fish of the day along with the dessert Galaktoboureko which gave baklava a run for its money.

Complimentary bread with olive oil is always a great way to start the dinner. The grilled fish was excellent; the catch of the day was sea bass for us. The lamb chops were very tender and the fatty portions of them were juicy. The waiter was very acc

We had the specials on the menu, and everything was excellent. Service was fantastic and dessert was just the cherry on top! They had a butternut squash soup with zero butter in it, and it was phenomenal!
A real treat to stumble upon
Fell upon this place on a Sunday afternoon. We were with a couple with two very young children ( strollers, high chairs). Where some restaurants would just say they were full, we were pleasantly seated outside, where we wanted to be, and enjoyed an e
Don’t use a dining table as a desk
To the Evvia management team: This is the best restaurant in Palo Alto so I was shocked to be seated right next to a member of your team who had his laptop, landline, notebook, paperwork, and tape dispenser out on a table. He was taking reservation c
This was my first time going here and I will be back most likely. The service is good and the food is wonderful.
Evvia is a good place for dinner. The spanikopita ita is flaky and delicious. I loved the ravioli with mushrooms and cheese

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Evvia Estiatorio Palo Alto at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Evvia Estiatorio Palo Alto page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Evvia Estiatorio Palo Alto to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Evvia Estiatorio Palo Alto!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
