    Kale Caesar Salad
    Olivia F.

    Legit best Caesar salad of all time. The apples and celery in it were a genius touch. I dream of this salad. Everything is always delicious here and I love to eat on the patio.

    Tuna Tartare
    Tyler T.

    In the heart of Newbury Street (Boston). This restaurant is perfectly located for walk-in customers that are exploring the shopping district. The restaurant offers fresh Mediterranean food with elevated indoor and outdoor seating. They have a refreshing cocktail menu perfect for brunch. Avocado toast was simple, but fulfilled the expectations for the price point. The chicken salad was delicious and fresh in a large portion size . Absolutely delicious healthy lunch. I especially liked the very fresh light tasting feta. The tuna tartare was shared amongst the table, a great starter appetizer for a group of three. Our waiter was social, funny, and attentive, which made it very easy to order, especially when we had a additional guest join the table. Overall, a positive experience and I would consider returning!

    Eva Burger with a lemonade
    Sophie T.

    Came here for the first time and it was great! I went with 5 others for our friend's birthday brunch. Located right on Newbury with the stunning yellow and white striped umbrellas on the sidewalk, but we were seated inside which worked out perfectly for our group size and the fact that it was super hot out anyways. Definitely a solid breakfast menu, but I usually go for lunch items. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their breakfast meals but I got the Eva Burger with fries and it was delicious. The star of the show? The Chipotle aloli sauce they put on the burger. So so good. The fries were also just how I like them. Thin and slightly salty. Service was slow but that meant for a chill and relaxing morning celebrating our friend.

    Came here for a work dinner and got seated upstairs which was nice and quiet. Our table had a weird debate on whether we liked the chairs or not, so perhaps you can also discuss this if you decide to dine here. We did not come to a resolution. As for the food, we got lots of appetizers including the calamari, trio dips, tuna crudo, and brussels sprouts --the sprouts were definitely my favorite but most of the apps were good. For my entree I got the fish, but it was very bland, even with all the herbs. For dessert I got the panna cotta which was huge and pretty good. Overall, food was decent minus the fish, but would I come back and pay with my own money? Probably not.

    After a long morning walking from Cambridge to Backbay we found a pleasant spot on Newbury Street to enjoy the outside spring weather. We took advantage of a lunch special where we got soup, sandwich and a scoop of dessert. Service was attentive and friendly. It was a great spot to people watch and catch up with an old friend.

    Kale caesar
    Matt H.

    Really nice experience! The service and ambiance were really the stars of the show in our time at Eva. Our waitress could not have been sweeter and treated us better. She was extremely attentive and incredibly friendly and truly made our experience great. The ambiance sitting outside was wonderful as well. The front patio is gorgeous and the perfect spot for lunch. In terms of the food I had the caesar salad and to be honest it wasnt great. It was borderline flavorless despite the copious amounts of parmesan and sardines. I think it would have been much better if the base was a different green besides kale. The orange wine and Aperol Spritz were fantastic though! Overall would come back for lunch and try something different!

    The cutest little outdoor area with umbrellas and tons of flowers. The food was pretty quick and the waitress was sweet. The hostess was also very bubbly and kind. My friend got the falafel burger and loved it. I got the chicken pita, which I didn't love. The atmosphere is so cute and the drinks are Taylor swift themed, so definitely going to go back and try something else on the menu! Super cute for a girls lunch, date, etc.

    French onion soup
    Mathew S.

    I don't like giving out 5 star ratings. I just don't. I think it limits my ability to award 4 star ratings; it means I have to review like 5 places that must get assigned into the 3-4.5 star range before I can put another in the unicorn bin. Dammit, (as paradoxical as this sounds) I don't like finding ridiculously good dishes or places...not during the meal, but when I comes time to write the Yelp review a day or two later. Because it means I want to go back. Like now. Usually once I've left that town. This is the Boston edition of that sentiment. So, some outliers and biases: it was my first time in Boston. It was snowing its ass off and it was nearly violently cold. It's was the holidays. I had literally just become engaged. The stars, quite simply, were aligned. For soup. French onion soup. On the garden level of Newbury Street the Scientist and I trundled down icy steps and into Eva for lunch service. It's a cozy downstairs bar set up on the garden level for lunch service. Warm, if not slightly bright, seating along the walls and a few low bar tables. Decent sized bar where the staff was waiting come the 2pm hour. Driven inside by snow and wind, we were part of a late Back Bay lunch rush. It's a trip, so I'm over ordering. She got soup to start. Ok. I'll be her Huckleberry and dance the soup dance. She went chowder. Meh. I went continental. Cheese, bread, beef broth in soup form. Why yes. Yes, please. This shit is depthy as Challenger Deep in the Pacific Ocean. Your taste buds think they're at the bottom, then BAM!, the salt reveals the cognac, and now the onions have a pungent sweet that wasn't there a second ago. Do that again, get a piece of bread that's been drowned in said soup, and it that but more. If they offered chairs with seatbelts, I would recommend sitting in one of them. The salad she got as a main was gargantuan. Lots of very fresh lettuce, and then- what am I talking about here? She loves salad. I don't. She said it was great. The fra diavolo pizza was exceptional as well. The shrimp were cut down and places on an extra thin and flexible base, with the Calabrian peppers doing the flambé act on my tastebuds. A touch of red sauce and not too much cheese let the feature ingredients highlight the taste. The crust had a solid bite and had some pull. An average texture-wise pie was knocked up by how good the topping presentation was. And usually, a single dish that isn't to the moon pulls you out of five star status consideration. So why not here? Three words: French onion soup. French onion soup, that is, to this moment in my culinary ramblings across most parts east of the Mississippi, the best I've ever had.

    Located in the heart of newbury. Came here for dinner. We had reservations pretty late in the night but they were very gracious in moving them up for us. The attend also gave us her favorite spot at the place which was very sweet of her. The restaurant was very clean and aesthetic. For drinks, I got the white sangria and it was delicious. It had the right amount of sweetness with the tartness of the fruit. The spinach and artichoke was a classic. It was very creamy and went well with the soft pita bread. The falafel burger was one of my favorites. It was very savory and filling perfect for a vegetarian option. Would love to come back again.

    Eva Burger Calamari Shirley Temples
    Tracy C.

    Eva on Newbury Street is definitely a cute spot. The interior is clean, bright, and nicely decorated with a calm, cozy feel. It feels like a nice escape from the busy street outside. The outdoor seating is more lively and has that classic Newbury Street energy, so it's nice that you can choose the vibe you're in the mood for. The service was really good. Our waitress was super sweet and very accommodating. My friend and I wanted to split a burger and fries, and she helped us do that without any problem. I also ordered a Shirley Temple which was $5--fun and nostalgic, and it tasted great. That said, I was honestly disappointed with the food. The burger and fries looked nice but were pretty bland. There wasn't much flavor or seasoning, and it just felt kind of plain. The calamari had a good texture and was cooked well, but again, it didn't have much taste. It felt like everything needed a little more attention when it came to seasoning or flavor. I really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere and service were so nice, but the food just didn't live up to it. It's a great place to sit, catch up with friends, and enjoy the area, but if you're going mainly for the food, there are probably better options nearby.

    Spinach Artichoke Dip
    Herv G.

    Had the best time at Eva recently--an unforgettable experience made even better by George's warm and thoughtful hospitality. He didn't just serve us, he elevated the entire vibe and made a day worth celebrating feel next-level. The food? Out of this world. I ordered several dishes, and one was so good I forgot to even snap a pic--too busy savoring it! Their pizzas are an easy 10/10 (the shrimp one has the perfect kick of spice). But let's talk about the Tuna Tartare--hands down my favorite thing on the menu. I'd make the trip just for that. And don't sleep on the artichoke dip--rich, creamy, and addictive in the best way. Already planning my return. Highly recommend for anyone who loves flavor, great energy, and top-tier service.

    Bert place for lunch and dinner and right in backbay Newbury St. Food is anazing and the staff is very friendly. Plenty of parking on weekdays and some weekends. Prices are responsible.

    last min dinner decision while in boston, they were able to slip us in on a Saturday night. Nice indoor and outdoor vibe on newbury street with lots is seating. Our server was nice and patient. We had originally ordered the olives but ended up switching it for the goat cheese dip because the olives weren't pitted which we found weird but our server made it seem like it was completely normal lol? but we absolutely loved the goat cheese dip, so yay for the mix up? Oysters were really good here, unfortunately didn't give any hot sauce and by the time i was able to ask for some, they brought our entrees so our table was overflowing. The pizza with different cheeses and apple was soo good and i also got the mussels which were decent and a great portion size for the price. To finish it off we got the chocolate mousse which was absolutely delightful and a great way to end the meal. I would recommend Eva's and come back here!

When we checked in with the hostess and asked for bar seating, she said they have two reservations that requested bar seating and those seats are being held for them. I informed her we are probably one of those requests. She checked again and simply replied "we have a table for you". Ok, fine. When we get to the table, it is wobbling back and forth. The place was crazy busy and we didn't feel like flagging someone down to deal with it, so my wife and I just sat with our feet on the base the whole time and that held it steady enough. We then ordered a couple glasses of wine. They are NOT shy about the prices here. Each glass costs between $15-19, and the pours were small. We'd guess either 4 or 5 ounces. We ordered Foie Gras as an app. When it arrived, we asked for some bread to go with it. To our surprise, when the bill came, they charged us an extra $3 for the bread. When you order a $27 app, and two dinners each costng over $50, to add $3 for bread seems a bit petty. I ordered the skirt steak medium rare and it came out bloody rare. My wife ordered the scallops. They were served in a broth that was loaded with salt. Ruined the whole dish. All in with tax and tip, we dropped $250. For that price, this was a disappointment and we had wished we dined elsewhere.

Salty Pig Pizza: A pizza with the same name as the restaurant! Who was the genius who came up with the idea of ​​salted pig and beer caramel? It's brilliant! The salted pork appears to include Prosciutto di Parma from Langirano, Prosciutto Cotto, and Salcissia. Baking rendered the prosciutto's fat, which blends with the caramel to create a beautiful golden syrup that flows across the pizza's surface. The prosciutto was savory, oily, and tender; the minced salcissia retains its coarse texture and rich meaty aroma; the caramel was sweet and mellow with a honey-like sweetness, forming the top, middle, and base notes respectively. The arugula was slightly warmed, losing its astringent and raw taste while maintaining its crisp texture, helped to cut through the richness together with the Parmesan cheese powder. The crust was crispy, while the inside the dough was soft and chewy. The cooking time and seasoning were all just right, and the restaurant's proud wooden oven added a charming smoky flavor. Affogato: I had high expectations, but it was just okay. The espresso was too sour, and the vanilla ice cream couldn't balance it out. The almond biscuits had an overpowering almond flavor, and the flavor of plant-based protein was terrible! (Oh, this should have been a plus...)

The linguine was on the smaller side portion-wise, but it came loaded with mussels and shrimp. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce had a nice tangy, flavorful profile that really stood out. The Salsiccia pizza was good--plenty of toppings for its size and a well-balanced amount of cheese and sauce. What kept it from being great, if I'm being a bit hyper critical, was the crust. It leaned too doughy and lacked the crispness and airy texture you'd expect; the closest comparison I can think of is something like an Olive Garden breadstick. Service was okay--nothing particularly impressionable--but the ambience made up for it. The space felt warm, trendy, and like the perfect spot for a casual dinner. Overall, a solid spot with well-executed dishes, especially the pasta, and a pizza that's definitely enjoyable with just a small detail holding it back from the next level.

I love that the focus is around serving food in Tip as their highlight. I will say a lot of their food is cooked with alcohol, so slow down and read if that's something you're trying to avoid. Typically when restaurants charge higher in price the food is average in taste, but everything else we ate was a home run. I will be back to try more!

If you're there for a nice and simple date they've separated a space to do just that as well. It's been a while since I've been enthusiastic about a restaurant and I have to say the restaurant was a great experience, please try!
