Small Mid-Western towns usually lack in the elegant dining department. The "Hi De Ho" diner and "Froggies pourhouse" are generally the norm. The floors are usually slippery and there is always gum or some other bodily secretion stuck to the underside of the tables. The "Ever-green" is none of those things. I had a party of 4 that was seated rather quickly. Booths with noisy vinyl seating were delightfully absent. I ordered Brushcetta and Filet Medallions as an appetizer. The presentation was wonderful. A Monet. The main course, skewered shrimp, with a starch and broiled Asparagus. Gustave Clarence Rodolphe Boulanger. Elegant and wonderful. I also ordered a Root Beer which came from a local brewhouse, not a large commercial soft drink company. How quaint. The only issue I have is the same with all American dining establishments. This desire to clear the table whilst I still sit. It takes away from the dining experience and ruins the atmosphere. I want to sit, digest and order another pint. read more

It has a nice atmosphere. The waitress was nice. The calamari was like tough rubber bands. The veal was tough and way over cooked. More like a thinly sliced pork chop. The Marsala sauce somehow had no flavor at all and required tons of salt and pepper to even taste it. Veal Marsala was served with under cooked Brussels sprouts and red potatoes cooked like home fries. All for 30$ a plate. I don't plan to return. read more

Just had my mom's 79th birthday with 17 people, the food and service was outstanding. It made for a very memorable night for my mother. They made a red velvet birthday cake which was amazing. The wine selection was decent and the prices for the wine was very fair. They have very good coffee to go with the large slices of chef made cakes. The Filet mignon was cooked perfectly to everyone's selection from rare to well done. read more

We recently returned and and everything thing that was great about the restaurant was still outstanding. This time I had a much better experience with the hash browns. This is definitely on our list of favorites. We have only stopped in for breakfast so far but will make a point of coming back for lunch or dinner. read more

Finally got to try Evergreen, after months of avoiding restaurants. We were not disappointed. We had a lovely server, Sandra. She was very attentive, and promptly brought any extras we asked for. The beef medallions we so tender and delicious, and the wine glaze was yummy too. My husband enjoyed his swordfish. And we both had room for dessert. He had the 7 layer carrot cake, while I ordered the peach cobbler. It was wonderful. The restaurant is decorated for the holidays, adding to its charm. The entire staff couldn't have been nicer. It was a lovely night out. read more

Kerri-Ann at evergreen is amazing. She cares so much and does such a great job! She is always kind and makes sure you get the experience you want. I love her and this place! read more

Very friendly service and a fine dining experience -I ordered the featured halibut but requested a different preparation and they accommodated my request without a fuss and it was delicious! My husband's ribeye steak was okay but the bleu cheese crust on it was fantastic! The meals were served with baked sweet potatoes instead of the usual Idaho white potatoes - there was plenty of fish for me to take home a serving for my lunch the next day. The wine selection was more than adequate and they offer cork and carry home option for the unfinished bottle - which we appreciated and utilized - there is not an actual bar to sit around but cocktails were available/ prepared by our server. A dining companion ordered the featured scallops and that was THE best meal at our table. We'll return for another dinner.. or lunch... there were lots of entree , sandwich , and salad options for future visits. read more

We had a great dinner at the Evergreen. The appetizers were awesome. The calamari was prepared perfectly! The Bruschetta was very tasty. The portabella was amazing. For dinner, the pork chop was excellent. The chicken scallopini was so rich and creamy. I'd highly recommend it. Great service! read more

Enjoy their breakfast, nice, clean inviting atmosphere for breakfast. Have not had a chance to eat here for dinner.

Great Atmosphere. Friendly service. Awesome food. I highly recommend it! So if you're in the Rochester area, have a bite at the Ever-green eatery. A++ read more

See all

We were driving through town and selected this restaurant by reviews. It's 4 1/2 star review really was not even adequate to express the salmon BLT. The quality of the salmon and the bacon and the sauce and the pretzel roll together were just exquisite. Given the opportunity and I would definitely go again. read more

The food was amazing and I enjoyed the service and atmosphere! They offer wine by the bottle, have lots of intricate recipes. The vegetable of the day when I visited was rosemary roasted potatoes And they were absolutely delicious. read more

Traveling through US 31, we stopped because of a billboard. Best decision ever! We got the southwest egg rolls as a starter, the aoli and dicon was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the special, red snapper with redskin potatoes and asparagus. It was delicious!! My husband got the 14oz Ribeye and was cooked perfectly! We came with our 4 year old and he got the chicken tenders with Broccoli and they were perfect! I am so glad we stopped the staff was so polite and friendly. Definitely a stop worth while! read more

Ordered the fettuccine alfredo and was so disappointed. It was sticky. I said something to the person in charge and she said that's just all the cheese and people love it. I told her it should be creamy. She offered to change mine but I wanted it over from scratch. I didn't know how they could adjust mine to a better quality. She didn't offer to adjust my bill. I wouldn't even take it home to the dog for fear she would choke it was so dry. They had marvelous lobster bisque and great dessert but the entree just left me saddened. I've been there before and was always extreme pleased. I'm making the review more for management to know than anything read more

I had to pick up something in Rochester and decided to have lunch. So glad I chose this place. Everything was delicious! I had the salmon BLT with fries. It was way better than I expected. Bacon was perfectly crisp, yet chewy. Fries were a mixture is sweet potato and regular, seasoned deliciously. And they have a huge dessert list, all homemade. Yum! And service was top notch. read more

Excellent breakfast. Sweet cream pancakes were absolutely delicious. Biscuits and gravy were great. Cute building.

Third visit to the Ever Green. Our favorite place in Fulton county! Charming, amazing fresh and real food and perfect service! We drive about 90 minutes to dine here. Great place to meet friends and family for quality time, amazing food and service in a comfortable environment. Appetizers are tasty and original, salads and entrees are fresh and made to order. We will be back.. Again and again... read more

Awesome little restaurant hidden in small town. We had the egg roll appetizer and the sauce was great and egg rolls themselves were tasty but there were a bit too greasy. My hubby had the burger and I had salmon BLT . Both were excellent, very excellent. Great service and fun atmosphere! read more

This is a very nice spot. The decor is nice and the food is good. I had the salmon and it was very fresh. Just be careful about dessert - the six layer cakes are ginormous and enough to feed several people. I had the crime brûlée and it was the right size and sweetness. read more

Great dinner find while traveling along Highway 31 and looking for quality locally owned restaurant. My $10 entree of grilled rosemary pork tenderloin sandwich and fresh green beans was delicious, as was the peanut butter pie (big enough to share). It is a really cute place - brick walls, repurposed window dividers, hanging flower baskets. We will stop here again next time we drive through! read more

We heard many great things about this restaurant however left very disappointed. The service was slow as it took over an hour to receive our meal. While waiting for our meal I witnessed one individual send his food back and another reject his completely. The food was less than desirable for the price we paid, I wouldn't recommend the perch or stuffed pork chop. The dessert was by far the best thing we ate however I don't think we will be dining here again.... read more

Great restaurant in small town of Rochester. Tonight was my second visit and both were great. Both visits were mid-week and only a few customers but food and service were great both nights. Enjoyed the Cobb salad tonight which was very good with the pesto dressing. Helped another on our group with the Mac n cheese -- so good!!! Highly recommend Ever Green! read more

A quaint building in downtown Rochester with a retro look. Our server was very warm and personable. My wife's crab cakes were excellent and the perch was good too. Our sons salmon but was very good as well. read more

We stopped by this restaurant on our way up to Michigan. It has a nice décor and service was excellent. They had a good variety of food choices on their menu. We had the wedge salad and pasta bolognese. We enjoyed the different interpretation the chef had in making these dishes. They were delicious and had a great price point. read more

Down home Indiana fare. Open for breakfast and lunch only. I went here with some locals who have been eating here al of their lives. The pork tenderloin is a must -try as are the homemade pies. read more

This hidden gem... is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! There seafood, there pasta, appetizers, etc ... everything is soo spot on. Amazing food and service. There food is so incredibly tasty. I love everything they offer. I do wish the place was bigger because it's THAT good. But hey, it's amazing small businesses like theirs that you don't want everyone to know about their spinach dip is to die for. Their shrimp is the best. Honestly everything they offer is incredible. They also have an amazing wine/beer/liquor selection. I wish I could get a gift card from this place! It's that dang good!!! read more

Great meal on the way to Michigan. Steak and creme brûlée were excellent! Our niece loved her chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Their cakes looked fabulous. read more

This should actually be a zero star review. The restaurant is inviting with a rustic, contemporary feel. We were looking forward to trying out the breakfast menu but didn't get the chance. When we arrived there was one table seated and another couple chatting with the server. The server was overly concerned about parking for the chili cook-off that day. Apparently so concerned she couldn't find time to seat us. If this is any indication of Evergreen's 'service' we won't be back. read more

So bad! We were there once before, at a regular meal time, had the fish and chips, and it was so good. We went in the middle of the day, and I ordered the fried perch, and it came out instantly. It was not deep fried, everything was cold, and I sent it back. The waitress told me she "nuked it a little more for me", not a good thing with fish! We were so hungry, going in after a doctors visit, anything would have tasted good, but not this. I was hoping this would be our "go to place", but really, their open 11-8 today, yet there wasn't a cook back there, obviously. Just leftover's being reheated. What a let down. read more

We ventured into Rochester looking to find a place to eat and we had 5 hours between basketball games. Looked into Yelp. This place did NOT disappoint. As we walked in, I fell in love with the atmosphere and was able to sit and see out two walls of windows. Service was good. Menus, hand made my the owners/staff offered a wide variety for any taste. Tuna Steak was seared to perfection. Beautifully plated and flavorful, we enjoyed conversation and spent time enjoying each other. Homemade dessert options, including cakes, pies, cobblers, apple dumplings, and cheesecake. I went on a limb and ordered the 6 layer coffee buttercream cake. Hands down, the BEST cake I have ever had. It presented a bit pricey at first, but after spending time eating and enjoying my time, totally worth it!! Don't come here to rush! It is slower pace and worth every second! read more

We made our annual trek to MI to buy blueberries, and were headed back on 31 at supper time. Found Evergreen on Yelp, gave it a try. Enjoyed crab cakes and Alaskan Char--delicious and fresh. Great service, though the store was very busy. What a nice surprise. Attention Irish fans--nice on-the-way option. Sent from my iPhone read more

Excellent food. We had fresh trout and prime rib. Fresh rhubarb/raspberry pie was out of this world. Worth a stop on way from Indy to South Bend. read more

Great food that will make your mouth water when it comes your way. The fried green tomatoes are to die for... unlike any others.

This restaurant is amazing. The atmosphere is very modern yet rustic. The food was delicious and the homemade dessert was even better. Couldn't have chosen a better place to eat. read more

We ate here on a busy Friday night and were amazed at the service and food! What a great experience; truly a great find on our way to Goshen. We will eat here again as soon as we get the chance! The mussels were really good, the caesar salad was perfectly prepared and I added salmon which was also fresh and perfectly cooked. Great place, great experience! read more

I really want to like this restaurant. We need a good place to eat in town. My big gripe is that supper is expensive. That would be fine if food is consistently good, but it isn't and there is my rub. If I pay $35 for a steak, I expect it to be excellent every time. Last night I plunked down $100 for a so so meal. We have found supper to be a hit and miss experience. Not sure I will go back for a supper anymore. Will say that breakfast has never disappointed whenI have eaten there read more

We have eaten at Ever-green many times and each meal has been wonderful. For those that do not know their breakfast menu will simply amaze and their sweet crème pancakes are a must try item. Hash brown potatoes are made fresh per order, try finding that anywhere else in central Indiana. Dinner entrees change daily/weekly, Angus Beef is always on the menu as well as fresh fish. Ever-green also has a very nice wine list along with cocktails and beer. The owners and staff are to be complimented on a job well done, Rochester IN is lucky to have such a fantastic restaurant! read more

Quaint and classy yet no sartorial expectations. Come for a fancy dinner or straight from the job for lunch. The food is phenomenal and the service is the best. read more

Love this place! We come every Sunday morning. Service speed varies but the quality is always great. They don't own a deep fryer so don't expect your typical French frys. They use as many local ingredients as possible. Just a great overall place, that is semi fresh ingredients! read more

ever-green lives up to it's advertisement as a Fine Eatery! Cannot stress enough the value of fresh everything: veggies, fish, salad, all cooked with respect and to perfection. Breakfast was marvelous with superb Eggs Benedict, and the best, freshest, julienned hash browns ever. First night dinner of grilled, fresh shrimp with sautéed squash and zucchini along side a delicious romaine wedge salad was wonderful. Looking forward to lunch read more
