For an extra-special occasion, stop by Mondays through Thursdays for an acclaimed seven-course tasting menu.

On a date? Grab a nightcap in the area's most romantic restaurant and bar, Dali, which is located across the street.

Delightful and fun. A real treat

by katiecat at Citysearch

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Evoo last night. The atmosphere was electric, the wine list was fun and the food, divine. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our celebration of 5 years. We will definitely be back and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special time.

  • Pros: Great wine list. Very professional service
  • Cons: Absolutely none
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Excellent, vibrant and calming meal, good solid place to be

by Middleaged at Citysearch

Enjoyed EVOO immensely. The emphasis seems to be on fresh, clean tastes with integrity and some complexity, some herbs but lightly seasoned. Excellent food, good wait staff, present, clear and helpful, no overbearing. Good selection on the prix fix, wine was good but not fabulous, dessert was amazing, interesting and delightful, with care.

  • Pros: Clean, clear, fun, high quality, accesible, pleasent, interesting, tasty, new, fresh
  • Cons: Dining room is a bit small, wine was very good, but not excellent, not many cons

Trendy but insightful

by joolers at Citysearch

GREAT dining experience! I especially loved the 3 course meal with wine tastings, a great deal at $50 pp. The wine pairings were most excellent. The apple, pumpkin, walnut, and goat cheese salad was to die for.

The best value in the Boston area

by bmagnolia at Citysearch

The first time we went here, I had a crab appetizer (unfortunately, a special that night - I haven't seen it on the menu since) that was very possibly the best thing I have ever eaten in my whole life. We've been back 3 times since then, and we've always enjoyed our meal. EVOO is much less expensive than comprable restaurants in downtown Boston, and parking is easy (there's a lot around the corner, by the video store). It also has an atmosphere that is at once laid-back and lively. A very fun spot. It might be the best restaurant around for groups.

  • Pros: Great value, parking is easy, food is innovative and delicious
  • Cons: More relaxed than romantic - It's not the kind of place where you propose to your girlfriend

Incredible food, atmosphere & service

by thenewmsray at Citysearch

This was the first time I'd ever been to EVOO and I can't believe it took me so long to discover it! I ordered from the chef's tasting menu (it was a Monday night) and my date ordered off of the regular menu. The presentation was amazing. The food didn't disappoint -- it was extremely fresh, perfectly seasoned, and expertly cooked. There wasn't a single thing we'd change about the meal. Service was excellent -- waiter was knowledgeable, attentive & friendly. Decor & "vibe" make this a great place to take a date or a group of friends.

Free parking in a lot next to the building is just another perk!

Highly recommended!!!!!

  • Pros: Ambience, Parking, Service
