Location location location but food is just eh. Went on a beautiful Saturday. We sat outside and enjoyed the music while eating. They are definitely understaff. Food took awhile and getting water refill took forever. There is not much flavor in the dishes and dishes were small. For the price, service and eh food I would rather try another place next time. read more

I would give it zero stars if I could. We had a pre show reservation at 6:15. Took a few minutes longer to park the car. We got to the restaurant at 6:28 and we were told that our reservation was given away - very unapologetically. Then the man at the front lied and said that he called, which he did not. I looked at my phone and there were no missed calls. I showed him my phone and he shrugged. So I looked in the rez book to make sure my phone number was correct. This has never ever happened to me before. The food may be good (I'll never know) but the service is horrific! read more

I was disappointed with the beautiful Red Snapper as it was way over seasoned/herbed. This delicate, sweet fish was obscured by the Rosemary and other herbs. It could have been great if it were simplified. The eggplant in the Baba ganoush was not prepared well enough to remove the bitterness. read more

We went to EVOO & Lemon on Sunday with our family to celebrate a birthday. Unfortunately, they were out of a few of the things on the menu and they didn't have any specials, as the server said that they were busy the night before. One person in our party also wanted the cheese board, which is on the menu online, but wasn't on the menu when we got there. That being said, we really enjoyed everything that we ordered. My favorite appetizer by far was the saganaki with fig jam. It basically tasted like a delicious fried cheese everything bagel and the fig jam put it over the top. We also got the bifteki, cheesy peppers, and crab cake appetizers. Our server recommended the cheesy peppers and although ricotta cheese is one of the very very few things I'm not a huge fan of, these peppers were great! For the entree, I had the scallops, which usually comes with risotto, but they were out of the risotto so instead it came with lemon potatoes and sauteed spinach. This was an odd combo, but each of the items separately were good. My mom had the whole branzino, which was my favorite of the entrees. I'm a weirdo and like to eat the head & skin of the fish, which she kindly shared with me and they were perfectly grilled/seasoned. There were two options for dessert - baklava and a chocolate souffle with ice cream. I shared the chocolate souffle, which was gooey and delicious. My dad had the baklava, which was a generous portion and he said it was very good as well. I think my only gripe with our dinner would be how long everything took - we got there at 5 and left at 7:30, so a 2.5 hour meal is a bit long for me. However, the delicious food made up for it! I would definitely go again! read more

This wonderful meal started out with fresh warm bread, hummus and olives - so delicious and set my expectations very high at the very beginning. I ordered off the lunch menu - 3 spreads for $12: tzatziki, baba ghannouge, and htipiti served with plenty of warm pita. The htipiti which had a spicy kick to it was my favorite, followed by the baba ghannouge. The spreads really hit the spot and I would have been perfectly happy with this as my meal. The lamb kebob entree was also very tasty - quality lamb skewers with smokey, subtle flavors and spice. Very modern, clean, open and bright restaurant with friendly service! A true gem in downtown Millburn. Located right next to the Starbucks. read more

Absolutely delicious! The food is fresh and the seasoning is perfect! The chef is a master and the staff is amazing! Perfect spot for authentic Greek food. read more

The scallops taste like Jersey style: charred and chewy on the outside. I either dislike scallops or outside of NYC, I can't find solid scallops. When I went, it was empty on a Wednesday night. 8pm. Not even a diner inside. I get it's COVID but that usually is never a good sign, especially for a "seafood" restaurant. Thank god I got the rotisserie chicken across the street. read more

No need to travel all the way to Greece to eat excellent Greek food! Delicious food and great service at EVOO's. We often go to celebrate our anniversary here and they never disappoint. The staff is super attentive and the dishes fresh and flavorful . The grilled octopus, ahi tartare tower and Bronzino are our favorites, but everything is exceptional. read more

Overall good. Bread and homus very good. Salmon with risoto was tasty but could be without beets for my taste. Fries good too. I believe the go to is the whole fish grilled. I will try next time. read more

My boyfriend decided to come to this place after we went to the gym. The host/waiter dismissed our casual athletic wear and promptly seated us to the back of the restaurant. He gave us freshly toasted bread with a side of hummus and olives. Soon after, we ordered the calamari for our appetizer, seafood couscous and lamb for our entrees. The calamari isn't the typical breaded kind you'd normally eat at other restaurants as shown in the pictures. I actually grew to love this take on calamari because of its freshness and simple seasonings (including EVOO and lemon, of course). After telling the chef my bf wanted medium for his lamb, he kept his word. The lamb cut like butter and melted in my mouth. I've never tasted lamb as juicy and tender as this one, and my bf made sure he got every single piece of meat off of the bones. The seafood couscous was just as delicious and filling as it looked. Every mussel, clam, squid, and shrimp was cooked to near perfection. At the end of our meal, the chef gave us baklava for dessert, which came as a surprise considering it was peanut-free baklava. I definitely know I am coming back here to try the other dishes. I am still salivating looking at these picture that I took from 2 days ago. read more

Even though we live in the area, it was our first visit to this restaurant. We didn't know they did reservations (which we will make next time), but they were able to get us in on a Sat night. We were very grateful for that and the service was incredible. They are a well-oiled machine and you are never left wondering where the server is, you always have water refilled and the check comes and goes just as fast. My husband enjoyed the salmon and the shrimp was delicious! read more

Ordered takeout from here to try and make up for Legal Seafood the night before. It did. The grilled octopus was way better, as was the calamari. The ahi tuna tower was really good and fresh, and the gyro platter was really good, though perhaps the meat was a bit overcooked. Still, it made up for the night before and was a great NYE meal. Assume it's even better if you eat there. read more

I don't normally give 5 stars, but, this place deserves it! We ordered a salad, grilled octopus, the soup of the day and scallop between the two of us and all 4 dishes were yum! Service is also very friendly. I'm so happy to have finally found a good restaurant in my town! --- We went back for dinner, this time bringing 4 friends. I ordered the Branzino (whole fish, grilled) -- it was cooked to perfection. Very flavorful and tender. The green beans that came as a side was also very good -- not sure what they put it in but it had a really nice umami flavor to it. Our friends loved their dishes too. My only criticism is the carrot cake -- way too sweet, way too much frosting and not enough cake! And the little bit of cake we did have was not moist enough. All in all, still very pleased with this restaurant. read more

My family and I came here on a Saturday night. I was looking for something light, healthy, but filling and Mediterranean food seemed like a great option. This place is fairly new having only been open for four months. The space is bright and clean with a very modern and open aesthetic. They have a good amount of seafood options and Mediterranean fair that almost anyone would love! Upon being seated, you are served fresh baked bread with delicious hummus. We ordered the grilled octopus, baba ghanoush w taziki sauce, Blue point oysters, Bronzino, seared scallops, and the strip steak. Everyone loved their dish! The baba ghanoush was served with small lightly toasted pita points and the whole dish was one of the best I've ever had. I've had Bronzino made so many ways before, but I can't say that I liked the way they made it here. While the fish was fresh and delicious, I wasn't crazy about the light lemon sauce they had on top. I think it would have been better if they just grilled the fish and had the sauce drizzled on the side. The seared scallops could have been a little more seared, but otherwise they were still very good. Overall, we really liked this place and the food was really fresh and tasty and the space was inviting with an attentive staff. I would def go back and recommend it to everyone! Anjetta, the manager on staff that night, was very pleasant and attentive. read more

The food was excellent. This is my second time. Perfectly cooked salmon entree, wonderfully grilled Bronzino. Grilled octopus appetizer was delicious (although I think a little more well done/charred would be even better) The Signature Salad we also shared was well balanced with goat cheese, beets, dried fig, and spinach. The chef, Hector came out to ask how things are. So impressed. We'll be back. read more

Finally ate at EVOO last week and will definitely be back again and again if everything else is as good as the "Tuna Tower." It might be the best single dish I've had since moving to New Jersey! the quality of the sushi grade tuna was impeccable and the delicious umami dressing... wow. can't wait to have it again and try more of the menu. looking forward to the weather cooling down a bit so we can sit outside! read more

This is the fourth time my husband and I have come to eat at this restaurant. We started with Mediterranean salad, which is large enough for two to share ,along with second plate, the famous, grilled octopus. My husband had branzino as his entree which he loved. I had the lamb shish kebabs, which was disappointing. The lamb was tough and pieces were very small, the rice was terribly bland, the grilled vegetables were as usual. We finished by sharing greek yogurt which was very good. I hope they pay attention to my review as guest are paying a premium because of their past quality of their food. It was my 50th wedding anniversary and I left disappointed. read more

Hidden gem in Millburn! First, food was delicious. We shared a Greek salad and then both had the whole roasted branzino --so fresh and perfectly cooked. Even the side vegetable, green beans, were delish. Service was outstanding - never had to wait long for anything, water refilled regularly and I generally felt like our waiter had his eye on us checking to see if we needed anything without being obtrusive. Overall great experience! We will be back. read more

My favorite place for good seafood.... My go-to is the branzino. Their calamari is good also. We enjoy coming with here with friends & family because no one is every disappointed with their meals! They have a small outdoor seating area but it's first come first serve only. read more

Must try: lemon chicken soup (if available), lamb chops Low key, no frills restaurant in town in Mullburn. It is pretty small but they have indoor and outdoor seating, plus its BYO. The menu has a great variety of selections. The menu items are more like full entrees (there are no gyros and kebabs here) so manage your expectations. Everything we ate was delicious, starting with the pita and hummus. The chicken lemon soup is a must, as are the lamb chops which were so tender and juicy. We had a very nice beet salad. I want to eat the lemon potatoes every night. read more

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The food, personal service and the ambiance is exceptional. We got the grilled calimari, hummus and Greek village salad to start and the angry shrimp and ny strip entrees. Fresh, on the spot cooked food in an open kitchen environment! I have been here 4 times already and have had the same experience every single time. Consistency is key! My wife and I will be coming for a long time! Thank you! read more

My siblings and I went here a couple weeks ago. The food was so amazing that we went back again the week after. This is our favorite new spot in the area. I can't recommend just 1 dish, because we all tried different dishes and they were ALL phenomenal. And I am talking about from fish to seafoods. I am NOT exaggerating!!! Everything was perfectly seasoned...on every single dishes. The seafood/fish were very very fresh and cooked to perfect temperature. Everything was just exquisite! Can't recommend this place enough. You will NOT be disappointed. This place is definitely our favorite spot now. Shout out to our awesome waiter. I believe his name is Constantino (young guy). He was very tentative and very sweet. His recommendations are on point to our liking. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch and my friend and I both got the butternut squash soup (special of the day) and signature salad. Both were amazing! The salad was fresh and loaded with figs and apples. I'm not a huge fan of beets and thought the pieces of beet could have been cut smaller. Overall great experience read more

Wow were we happy that our first option fell through and we found this gem!! We were seated in this cozy and warm restaurant after a tad wait and it was worth it! Our waitress was very friendly and personable. Simply great service! Thank you! Yummy complimentary olives, bread and hummus to start. My favorite part of our meal was the trio of spreads. Delicious!!!!! Served with pita, it was a meal in itself! I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you're in the area. read more

I live out of state, but purchased a gift certificate so my elderly Aunt & her caregiver could go out to a special birthday lunch for my Aunt's birthday. I was mislead to hear that they were not open for lunch after all, and that the restaurant did not sing "Happy Birthday" to my Aunt as I was assured they would. I even called the same day to remind them. I spent a lot of money & am disappointed. read more

We ordered spanakopita, it was cold. Then we ordered gyro plates, it was cold. Between two plates, we waited more than 30 minutes. Food are not that delicious either. Avoid them. I made a big mistake. I wish I can give 0 star, unfortunately Yelp doesn't support. One more thing, check comes very fast. read more

Very good food and service, the grilled branzino and octopus were especially memorable. Would come here again for special occasions.

You only get one chance to make a good impression. First impressions are important and it begins with a welcome. My friend and I had a reservation at 6:15. We arrived at 6:28 and the manager/owner stated that he gave our table away after attempting to call several times to see if we are coming. Well he clearly "LIED" b/c we never received any of his attempted calls on our call log on the cell phone. When we looked at the reservation book he did have the correct number but clearly did not attempt to call us. Not only was it poor service but unethical. I have been to 5 star restaurants in Manhattan that had a grace period of 15-20 minutes before they give a table away. Will never give them the pleasure of my business....left a bad taste in my mouth! No pun intended! read more

Great food every time. Usually come during lunch hours when it's a bit more quiet so cannot comment on the dinner crowd but lunch is always very pleasant.
