Everything was right when we visited Evviva! My friends were already seated. When i arrived the hostess greeting was very friendly. And, from that moment everything was fab!! The vibe was cool! A bit loud bit we sat at a high top and it was perfect for us. Our waitress Mak was on point. Then the food came and everything we ate was amazing! We had 3 appetizers and had 3 different entrees. We honestly couldn't decide which was our favorite!! I personally cant stop thinking about the anchovy bread! Definitely will be back soon! And highly recommend!! read more

Evvia is a cute cocktail and tapas spot for a catch up or a romantic gathering it looks a little different than it did when it was the Franklin, but still very cute. The food menu changes frequently, and it's far from basic! I would definitely come again. read more

Great food, great ambiance, great service. Reasonable prices. This place is a great find for those in or visiting NOLA.

We tried this place on a whim because it is two blocks from the Marigny Opera House, where we'd just attended a performance - walked in at 9pm and were seated quickly without a reservation. Every item we tried was outstanding! Anchovy toast, scallops, shrimp, grilled fish. Sopped up every last drop of each delicious sauce with the delicious fresh bread they brought to the table. Friendly, prompt service. Fantastic, warm atmosphere. Absolutely will be back. A totally unexpected, absolutely delicious surprise! A bit loud for us oldsters, but improved as a few tables cleared out. read more

Cute place inside and was seated quickly. The espresso martini was pretty basic not the best I've ever had but still pretty good. The spaghetti was overly salty so I would recommend something different from the menu. The gulf fish was super good, best thing we ordered. Pretty small menu with not a lot of choices but good food and ambiance overall. read more

A beautiful and elegant space, and warm service. It seems the menu changes often. Portion sizes were overall fair, but like everything these days, it's expensive. The chocolate budino was the best thing we ate. read more

One of the best meals we had on our visit. Friendly service and an absolutely beautiful space.

Alrighty. As wonderfully embarrassing as this is, this is a review for the second night in a row we ate here. It was our last night in our weeklong trip to NOLA, and we'd had an amazing dinner the night before at Evviva. We had reservations for this night at another restaurant - we like to try new things, and visit old favorites. But everyone around the table agreed anything else would be a letdown. So we canceled our other reservations. Came back. Had many of the same things. And we're incredibly happy to have done so. This is not our normal m.o.: this place is special. We had small plates. Split them for the table. We're all pescatarian. We're all cocktail hounds (we didn't split those). Our two favorite cocktails: Juliet and Romeo. Bright, well balanced, refreshing, but with some punch. Steel Pulse - boozy, but with some depth and nuance (They've also got a nice dry Lambrusco) Small plates: what can I say? Just eat them. I hate anchovies. They had an anchovy toast I led the charge to order the second night. The shrimp is cooked so that it's smoky, spicy, and falling apart in your mouth in a good way. The eggplant is to die for (get the bread in the brown paper bag. You don't want to leave any). There are more things. I'd say more, but I need to get back to it. Not to pay these folks off: it's incredibly reasonably priced for the quality of the food and the service. Very lovely folks. Nice space. Get over there. (and thank you Evviva for a lovely two evenings.) read more

Great food service and overall experience. Just a wonderful place to enjoy a meal or a cocktail.

Everything was delicious. Loved the cabbage salad with anchovies! Also had the baked chicken which was amazing!

Evviva is definitely one of the best new restaurants in New Orleans. Everything we tried on the menu was amazing. I highly recommend the shrimp and ribs. The service was great and they have a happy hour everyday. read more

Outstanding food.. I felt like I was in Europe.We had the grilled prawns, duck leg confit, squid egg pasta. It was perfect... Wines by the glass are reasonable. Service is very friendly and courteous. What a nice evening!!!! Brava to the chef!!! read more

Tl;dr version: great food, large portions, friendly service, attentive to dietary restrictions. Our party of three went to Evviva for a friend catch up. It was our first time, and we will definitely be back. We ordered a bunch of smaller plates and also the steak. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the ample portion was well worth the price. The small plates were all excellent, especially the anchovy toast. A member of our group had some dietary restrictions: dairy and gluten. It was nearly a non issue. The server knew immediately which menu items were unsuitable (there weren't many) or would need substitution. Evviva is knowledgeable and welcoming to those with allergies or restrictions. read more

Excellent and creative menu. We loved the anchovy toast especially. Great service. Wonderful atmosphere

great neighborhood restaurant. very good fresh fish and ingredients. great well balanced drinks. Great service

Anchovy toast is what dreams are made of and I do not consider myself an anchovy person. It left a lasting impression and I've continued to go back for it. I have not had a bad dish here yet. Cocktails, service, and ambience are all wonderful. read more

Just the best! This is now my new favorite restaurant. The gulf shrimp are so flavorful and silky. The cabbage and anchovy salad is like the best bite I have had in a long time. The espresso martini is great because they add an orange rind. Staff is so nice and the vibe is great. I'm a fan!! read more

We loved this spot. Martini for happy hour were perfect and service was friendly. Really enjoyed the shrimp, simple but fresh and quite tasty! read more

This is my favorite new restaurant by far. The food is so innovative and the staff is amazing. Love this place! read more

Went for dinner with some friends and the staff was so friendly and wonderful. We ordered multiple entrees and appetizers: grilled gulf shrimp, grilled fish, linguine, and a crab dip to share with a couple of perfectly dressed side salads. We hadn't seen each other in a couple years and our conversation kept getting interrupted because we had to tell each other how delicious the food was. The happy hour specials are a steal. Simple and delicious. Also love a martini on the happy hour menu. A drink I really want to drink! Great option for a large group or a cozy date. read more

Excellent food and cocktails. Very friendly staff. The crab and peach salad is great! I will be back!

We made a reservation and were seated right when we walked in. Everything from atmosphere, service, food and drinks were top notch. This is a new restaurant and everyone needs to give them a try. So so yummy!!! read more

How can you not love Aviva at 2600 Dolphin St. in New York City there is just nothing that surpasses it beautiful food and wonderful vibe. You can meet friends there and leave even better friends. The food is outstanding and the drinks are perfect. Perfection. I highly recommend read more

Good food. Good service! We didn't have a reservation, so they sat us outside, which was fine with us. Really tasty redfish.

We love Evviva! We were huge fans of the two chefs here before they opened Evviva together, and it does not disappoint. Every single thing we have tried has been delicious and the service is always fantastic. One of the unique things about Evviva is that their menu changes daily with what's in season and available locally. They are serving the same produce that we see at our weekly farmers market while keeping prices very reasonable. Only a handful of restaurants in New Orleans are doing that, and all of them are in our top 5. We will be back monthly! read more

Always delicious and great chef driven rotating menu. Always recommend it to visiting friends
