    Great food ! Good service ! Chose last minute and was a great experience ! Will return

    Special Beet Salad of the day!
    Ze'eva K.

    EVOO & Lemon has become one of my favorite spots, and every time I visit, it's a consistently wonderful experience. While I've tried a few different dishes here, my absolute favorite is the lamb. Most recently, I had the lamb shank with orzo, and it was absolutely delicious--the meat was so tender and flavorful, and the orzo paired perfectly with it. I also had the beet salad with garlic purée during my last visit, which was a special that night. It was such a unique and flavorful dish; I hope they bring it back often because it was a standout. The waitstaff here are incredibly efficient and attentive. They're quick to respond when you need something but never hover, which creates a relaxed yet well-served dining experience. The ambiance is perfect for a date night or a dinner with friends, and being a BYO restaurant makes it even better--just bring your favorite bottle of wine.

    Lentil soup
    Katarina L.

    I just never get tired of good Greek food and I'm always excited to find great new restaurants to add to the mix when I want a taste of home. I came here with my mom not too long ago for a lunch and had a great meal. We sat out on the back patio because we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and shared a few different plates. First, I love that they bring some warm pita and a small serving of hummus over after you order. The food didn't take long at all, but it was definitely nice to munch on something while we waited. We started with the lentil soup and the grilled artichoke. The lentil soup was really tasty, but did have a strong vinegar taste, which was pretty new. My mom who usually loves lentil soup but hates vinegar was not a fan, so I happily cleaned the bowl. The grilled artichoke was a show stealer. It came on a bed of hummus, with grilled bits of asparagus, tomatoes, maybe onions or garlic? It was delicious and we left trying to figure out how we could recreate it at home. For our entree, we split the signature salad and added salmon and avocado. The salmon came on the side with capers and on a bed of lettuce. To add salmon, it was an extra $18 which is alot, but at least it was a pretty decent size. Still, $18 is a lot and it was another extra $6 or $7 to add the avocado. So yes, it was delicious, but definitely not $40+ for a salad delicious. It's a beautiful space with friendly staff and a delicious menu. It can be pricey but at least it is BYOB! If you find yourself in this cute little town craving Greek food, it's a good choice.

    Really amazing place! The service was amazing and super friendly. Ambiance was perfect for either date dinner / brunch. Most guests were adults 21+ at least the time we went. The food was just amazing, juicy and tender lamb, great veggies grilled I wish I knew what they sautéed with! The guest that got salmon said she got the best salmon in her life! I dont usually get lamb but I was curious. It was so soft and tender. Well seasoned. Only downside was the potatoes, that was only salty thing from the dish. The kebab was also so so delicious. I am not sure if the baklava is originally looks like this but they were very strong in nutty and cinnamon flavor and was not sweet at all. Overall would give 4.5 stars out of 5

    Catch of the Day - Bronzino
    Matthew C.

    Excellent Greek restaurant located in the heart of Downtown Millburn! The head chef was previously employed by Avra in NYC for 10 years. We ordered the octopus & tuna tower for appetizers, and each got the Bronzino for our mains. Everything was spectacular and exceeded our expectations of the restaurant. The service was informative and helpful while the atmosphere wasn't anything too special. Regardless, the food was spectacular...FYI it is BYOB. White wine pairs very well with their fish.

    A true Greek salad!

One of my biggest pet peeves is people talking over my food, and that is exactly what happened. While my bowl was being assembled, I added a few items that came with an upcharge. The employee making my bowl informed me of the extra cost, which I understood completely--I've been to Cava many times and know how it works. However, as she repeatedly explained the upcharge, she was talking directly over my food and visibly spitting while speaking, which made me extremely uncomfortable. When I tried to reassure her that I understood and that it wasn't necessary to keep repeating it, her coworker jumped in saying it was "company policy" to ask. I told them that was fine and that I would pay whatever the cost was, but asked that they stop repeating it. Instead of de-escalating, both employees began laughing and smirking, which felt very unprofessional. I calmly explained that I don't like people talking over my food. Their response was sarcastic and dismissive, which eventually led to me raising my voice out of frustration. When it came time to add dressing, the employee intentionally drowned my bowl in dressing to the point where it was completely soggy and inedible--it honestly felt like retaliation. I asked if they would eat something prepared that way, and only then did the manager step in. Thankfully, the manager handled the situation professionally and remade my bowl, which I truly appreciated. I own a franchise myself, and proper food service practices and basic respect for customers are non-negotiable. Talking over food, laughing at customers, and acting spitefully has no place in a restaurant. The manager handled the situation appropriately, but the behavior of the front-line staff was unacceptable and needs to be addressed.

This restaurant looks great. There is a nice counter area to order, a really nice seating area inside and even outdoor seating. Some of the decor makes you feel like you're in a household's kitchen. By the cashier there is a table you can wait at complete with local newspapers. It's very charming. This was my first visit and I ordered my food to go. I had two key dishes. The first was hummus with falafel, which is very standard for me whenever I go to any Mediterranean place. When I opened the take out box at home I was really surprised. Most places give you a good amount of hummus, but here it was basically a thin layer. Kind of like a layer of mayo on a sandwich (maybe a tad thicker). Then on top of the hummus was a huge layer of pickled vegetables and tiny pickles. This was a surprise. I've had hummus orders from a lot of restaurants before and I've *never* seen this on an order before. Then the falafel balls were on top and well...they were really dry and didn't have much flavor. Now, sometimes you can cover that up by just coating the falafel in hummus, but there wasn't enough hummus to do that. The dish was just disappointing all around. The other dish I tried were the Lemon Potatoes. They were good! The lemon flavor was strong and they were cooked well. Not the best example in the area, but they would do in a pinch. At some point I'll give this place another try. Maybe this was a fluke (at least I hope so).
