What a pleasant surprise this was! Just needed to find someone serving brunch close by an event at the Marriott (across the street) and hit the jackpot! Sat by the window overlooking Michigan Ave. Beautiful! Our server Juan was outstanding. Started with beignets which were warm and tasty I got the Hugo Spritz cuz I love elderflower. It was delightful Started with shrimp Rangoon roll I don't eat sushi often so I was delighted that it tasted so good. Then I had the breakfast skillet. Eggs are how you want. I loved it esp since it had a bit of jalenpeño in it. Definitely going back read more

In the mood for sushi without having to get in a cab or rideshare. Convenient to the Marriott.on N. Miracle Mile. Hip, classic vibe with a great bar for solo patrons. Nice bartenders who are efficient and attentive. Dirty Greek martini is excellent. The kalamata blue cheese olives and hint of cucumber are excellent. The Mag Mile Roll hit the spot. Great sauce, texture (soft and crunchy), and flavor. Tough not to order another roll but was tempted by the "hand-cut" fries. false advertising becuase they were nothing more than frozen shoestring fries. Pass. Would return to try something more meat and potatoes. read more

Spontaneous dinner on a Friday, driving into Chicago for a weekend getaway, hungry and ready to kick things off right. My wife pulled up Yelp on the drive in. Evie popped up, looked great, checked for a reservation, nothing available. Didn't matter. We were pulling into the city hungry at 5:30, short walk from the hotel to meet our friends, it was going to be a food night, and all four of us wanted good food and good drinks at a good place. So we walked in anyway. The hostess didn't flinch. Warm, welcoming, got us in without a reservation and put us right next to a window overlooking Michigan Avenue. Not a bad way to start a weekend in Chicago. The space is beautiful, upscale without being stiff, the kind of place that actually lives up to its photos, which isn't always a given. Our waitress was perfect. Attentive without hovering, knew the menu, never rushed us. The kind of service where you don't notice it because everything just...works. The food was the real story. We went hard on sushi, the Osaka Style Pressed Sushi, Red Dragon Roll, Volcano Roll, and the Signature Roll, and every one of them landed. The Osaka is sashimi-style ahi tuna stacked with avocado and spicy tuna, the Volcano comes loaded with Maine lobster, and the Red Dragon brings the heat with shrimp tempura, spicy crab and jalapeño. Don't overlook the starters either, the Fresh Baked Bread, Smoked Carrots, and Spinach & Artichoke Dip all earned their place on the table. Drinks were on point across the board. My friend's wife went with the Midnight in Peru, Hendrick's with chicha morada purple corn, pineapple and honey syrup, and was evangelical about it all night. My wife went off menu with a gin and pineapple and the bar handled it without missing a beat. My buddy and I locked in on the Barrel Aged Old Fashioned, private barrel Wolf Point bourbon, and look...we had multiples. Each. Zero regrets, full accountability. Worth it? Completely. Great food, great drinks, great company, great view. Honestly could not have picked a better first stop if we'd planned it for months. Pro tip: if there's no reservation available, show up anyway around 5:30 and just ask. Worst they can say is no. Best case? Window seat overlooking Michigan Avenue and the perfect start to your weekend. read more

So glad I checked out The Evie! Moody lighting, on the 2nd floor with windows, buzz of lively conversations, background music, this place has a very movie-esque feel. Loved the vibes, the food, and the service. The smoked carrots -- wow! So surprising that carrots could be Delicious!! Something about the garlic sauce, pepper flakes, delicate sweet, BEETS, and pumpkin seeds, that create this fantastic flavor that you must try for yourself! Also had two sushi rolls, both were so tasty! Only thing I missed was trying their cocktails. Next time! read more

Street parking is rare in River North - good luck! Popped in for lunch. Seated quickly and service was good. Spacious interior with many tables.

Came here to celebrate anniversary. The food was really good! Bread & Butter was a very good starter. Bread was super warm and soft, but definitely made our hands really messy because of the grease. Portions of entrees are large. Prime Rib sandwich was loaded with meat. Very juicy and flavorful. I'd say the crust for white fish was flakey. It adds texture to the dish, but overall still very tender. They also have a variety of drinks. But it is pricey probably due to location. read more

Here's your fully updated Yelp review with those details added: Went here for lunch during Chicago Restaurant Week while celebrating my friend's birthday and overall we had a good experience. The restaurant is from the same owners as Wildberry Cafe and it's located in the old Bandera space on Michigan Ave, so the location is great. The only challenge at first was getting in. The escalator was down and although there was an arrow, it was still confusing. We actually had to ask security at the building next door how to enter. We started by saying we wanted the Restaurant Week lunch menu, but the waitress seemed a little clueless about it. We later realized it's basically the same as their corporate lunch menu. She also seemed like she might have been having a bad day, but service aside, the rest of the experience was pretty good. I had the chicken club and my friend had the wagyu hot dog. Both were really good and came out fresh. The only thing I didn't really care for was the key lime pie. Everything else was solid and it was still a nice spot for a birthday lunch. I would come back and give it another try. read more

It was my first time coming here and it owes me nothing. You have the views of Michigan Avenue and great service. They start you off with complementary beignets and on the weekends. They have a fabulous brunch menu. We got the Rangoon sushi roll as an appetizer and it was delicious. It tasted just like a crab regular but in sushi form. My friend and I opted for the skillets and it was so flavorful why my other friend did a build your omelette with smoked salmon goat cheese in Spanish. She said it was delicious. The cocktails were $10 and we each had two and they did not disappoint. Our server Jose was so nice and helpful. We will definitely be going back. read more

The Evie is located on the second floor of a building on the Magnificent Mile. Be sure to make an advance reservation to be able to get a table and I suggest asking for a window seat table if you actually want the views over looking the Mile. I did not make that request, so our booth was set away from the street-views. The ambiance is great for a date night or work dinner and we did have good customer service from our waiter. However, the food prices are a bit on the high side for what you get. I got the lobster roll, which was $55 and only came with a side of french fries that were way undercooked. Also tried the pomme puree mashed potatoes and smoked carrot sides that were good. read more

Absolutely loved The Evie! Evie is my nickname so as soon as I saw this restaurant in one of my searches I had to book a reservation. It is in a great area and up on the second floor of a building, if you weren't looking you might miss it! The place has an amazing vibe and great atmosphere. Our server was super friendly. The food was so fresh and delicious. I appreciated their list of mocktails and NA drinks, I got the Afternoon in Peru which was unique and very flavorful, I loved it! We got the Fresh Baked Bread- which you neeeed to get, it is baked in house! I also got The Evie salad which was very fresh and tasty. I was with my dad and he had the Chilli Honey Glazed Salmon and said it was very good as well! Would highly recommend and would definitely come again next time I'm in town. I would recommend a reservation, we were there on a Friday night and it was quite busy! read more

It was recommended by the Concierge at the Waldorf for a great lunch place. We just needed a light lunch before shopping but I'd go back in a heartbeat for dinner.

Things could be better... My sister chose here for her 25th birthday dinner. The space is nice, dark lighting, second floor of a building right on Michigan Ave. the window views are really nice. Our service was great overall, we sat at the bar as there were extra guests at the table. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. Our food came out pretty quick and overall it was a nice environment. The food was more disappointing. The bread was delicious (it is a menu item not complimentary). One review I read mentioned the char taste being bitter and a bit overwhelming and that is how i felt about the steak and broccolini. We ordered it medium and it was a little more medium-rare. The broccolini was undercooked and still had that bitter char taste. Those two main components were not up to par with what I expected. The fries were delicious, but overall a tad disappointing. read more

Happy hour review Happy hour specials only available at the bar - which has limited seating. We were able to sneak in right before 6 and order a couple of items for our party of 3. We each ordered an old fashioned and felt it was average. Overall we were impressed at the food quality and surprised by some of the flavors. My friends noted the spice level with both the hot dog relish and the salsa side for the artichoke dip. The carrots were my highlight as there was some good roasted notes with the garlic toum and a price that can't be beat ($5). As time progressed, it was very noticeable how popular this restaurant is. Both the bar and restaurant filled up to the point that folks were standing near the bar with their drinks and mingling with others. If you're shopping near the area, the Evie would be a great spot to pop in and take a meal break esp during happy hour. read more

This place is centrally located and has a great view of Michigan Avenue. They have a really good happy hour menu if you sit at the bar, which I suggest because there is plenty of seating. Food was good, I really enjoyed the signature roll. The only thing I was a little disappointed by were the grilled artichokes. Typically they're one of my favorite appetizers, but these were slightly overcooked. Service was fantastic and our waiter was very friendly and offered great suggestions about the menu. read more

Fun place for brunch. They gave us really yummy beignets on the house with a delicious dipping sauce. Coffee was super tasty and bacon was amazing. I had my eggs poached and they tasted like straight up vinegar (boo!). Also my biscuit was overcooked (ugh!). Service was friendly and fast. Some good and some not, decent spot worth trying again in a pinch! read more

I was a huge fan of Bandera, the place that occupied this space for years. Once I saw Evie came into play, I didnt know what to make of it. I often wondered were changes made or if they did a major overhaul of the space. I stopped in for lunch recently since I was nearby and as I walked in, I realized nothing had changed except for The Evie being on the walls. Took a look at the menu and noticed it was damn near the same as I remembered Bandera, except now there is sushi. Grabbed a seat at the bar since it was just me and started with an old fashioned...the homie Alex makes a pretty good one. I saw on this site the mag mile sushi roll was very popular so I had no choice but to get it. The roll includes salmon, ahi tuna, yellowtail, sweet potato, avocado, chili oil and crunchy garlic...it was really good! I also got a side of roasted carrots which was ok. This space still has the great window view of Michigan Ave and the same old charm of its predecessor. I like The Evie read more

We originally went to this restaurant because it was right across the street from our hotel but I am really happy we went! I often feel like restaurants downtown are kinda corny but this was definitely more of an experience! The ambiance was great, but they were still accommodating to the children in our party! Our waiter was super attentive (I wish I remembered his name) and there were so many menu items to choose from! I got a cocktail, the red dragon sushi roll and the chicken sandwich. The sushi was AMAZING! I was a little nervous since it wasn't technically a sushi restaurant but was pleasantly surprised! The chicken sandwich was also really good. But my favorite party was definitely the brownie sundae... WOW. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

From the hostesses, to the bartender, to our server & wait staff, we had a pretty great experience here. Walked in with a group of 5 people for dinner on a Friday night and were able to quickly score a 5 seater circular table that had a great view of Michigan Ave/Magnificent Mile. I had no idea this place had sushi offerings, but it's actually a quite large portion of the food menu. Our server Paige was nice and efficient throughout our meal and provided great service / checked up on us quite a bit. All in all, the food and drinks are pretty great here. They additionally have a pretty great happy hour, however that is only valid at the bar. read more

We had lunch here in the holiday season, and the place was packed. Our server was attentive and knew the menu well. He recommended Signature Prime Rib Dip and Chili Honey Glazed Salmon, and both were very good. One of us ordered Butter Poached Lobster Roll, and the lobster roll tasted fresh and sweet. Another one of us ordered a set of Suchi rolls and like the freshness of the fish but was slightly disappointed that the rice wasn't flavored as typical Suchi restaurants do. The restaurant obviously uses high-quality ingredients and prepares its food carefully. read more

Can't say enough how much I enjoyed The Evie! A friend and I were only in town for the night and I booked the reservation because it was the closest to our hotel and I'm so glad that I did! The ambience was very intimate but lively - perfect for date night or dinner with family/friends. The chili honey salmon AMAZING and came out much faster than I expected (service was amazing as well - thanks Grace!), considering how busy it was on a Saturday night. Definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone visiting Chicago and where I'd dine again! read more

The food was excellent and the lunch specials prices are phenomenal I ordered thee waygu hot dog ....yes I said hot dog...hands down one of the best dogs you'll ever munch! It's comes Chicago style but I added a Lil ketchup. The fries were so tasty I ate every last one. The views and decor are amazing . If you are familiar with Banderas that used to be on Michigan it was replaced by this restaurant. The only downside was the service the waitresses seemed to be elsewhere and really unfocused but anybody can have an off day. I definitely will be going again . read more

The other evening we stopped in for a quick bite. We sat at the bar and it was perfect. The room is dark with warm lighting. The windows allowed city lights in as well. Dark varnished wood felt so cozy on a cold night. My Sauvignon Blanc was soo good - light and smooth. My friend said his Cabernet was equally enjoyable. We ordered a few rolls and spinach dip. The dip was the best I have had in a long time. The Mag Mile roll was toasty and delicious. Our bartender/server was on point. He was friendly and helpful. Always smiling, he made our experience amazing. read more

Went twice this trip. Once with my wife on a Sunday and then again with coworkers later in the week. I recommended it after the first visit so, my reputation was on the line. The Evie delivered as everyone loved their meals and drinks! Over the two meals got to try the pressed sushi, crab cake (almost all crab!), filet mid-rare, millionaire ice cream, key lime pie, skate schnitzel (special), side Caesar and cornbread. A- on the steak as it was barely over temp but not enough to send back and, A+ on everything else, including the cocktails sampled. Would go back anytime I'm visiting Chicago. read more

This gem is easy to miss since it is on the second floor of a Michigan Avenue building. It is a dimly lit, warm restaurant nice for a date but lively enough to let old friends enjoy themselves without feeling self conscious. The volume of food here was overwhelming. We got the Restaurant Week menu and felt we could have ordered one order for two people and would have been satisfied. That said, we got 2 orders and ate it all! The smoked salmon appetizer could have been an entree. It was moist and full of flavor and served with 6 toast points that were well buttered. The other appetizer was a soup that was also wonderful. The entree for my partner was a pork chop with greens cooked to perfection and nice and thick. The beef, mushrooms, and carrots I got were also great. I was so full, I left some of the mushrooms (and I love them). Luckily I have that extra stomach for dessert--the key lime pie was solid and I had the tres leches cake--divine! I suspect I would have liked dessert even more if I weren't in pain from the overeating I did :) Hope to eat here again when we are in town. read more

This place is located on Michigan Ave above the Allen Edmonds shop. Came here for happy hour which runs till 6 PM. They had a few wines for $10 as well as select spirits. The menu was a little unclear as to what the cocktails were but we asked the bartender and he gave us some options. We got a French 75 and old fashioned. The old fashioned was a bit diluted since it was only 2 oz of whiskey with a lot of ice but I enjoyed my French 75 which was the proper amount. We also got a spicy tuna roll for $12 which came with 8 pieces and spinach artichoke dip for $9 which came with chips and sides of salsa and sour cream. The spinach artichoke was really creamy and flavorful. The salsa also had a good spice. read more

The ambiance is cool, and the aesthetics are nice. This spot definitely gives chic dinner vibes. The menu is not as vast as I would have preferred. The food was decent.

Jace behind the bar is awesome! I was there last night for Signature Sushi takeout and again today. It's a bday thing to eat sushi the night before and sushi the morning of birthday. The Signature Sushi is incredible with one huge BUT. Last night's and today's were NOT what they normally are. I think their sushi is not just fresh but a perfectly rolled sushi sliced into a beautiful presentation. Last night's was meh in creation, and today's was not rolled well at all. I feel that the fish used was sparingly done so, too, but just this morning's. I had them fill the two pieces with no fish and the one that had a VERY thin sliver. The male mgr had the woman add additional fish. I don't think he was thrilled with doing it, but I'm there a lot. And right is right. Thank you, in the end, for handling it, albeit a teensy bit rude about it. Smile & don't be so gruff. Not like you guys were swamped at noon. Freshest sushi I know of and sesame seed free. I'm highly allergic & always feel safe. read more

We're visiting from out of town for business, saw the Evie was highly rated, and decided to check it out for an early dinner. We stopped in around 5 having not had lunch since we were flying into town and they were able to accommodate us without reservations. The space is on the darker side and gives off an old, classic steakhouse sort of vibe, despite the menu's seafood focus. The menu is pricey so if you plan to have a drink or two, a couple of starters to share, and an entree per person, you'll be paying around $80-100 per person. The wine list is pretty average - some okay producers, but mostly mass market stuff, and no vintages listed. BTG had about 8-9 options each for white and red and will set you back on average $15+. Bottle prices are around 3x RETAIL (so 3.5-4x wholesale) prices for a couple of the labels I recognized. For example, the current release of the Columna Albarino is $15 wholesale (around $19-20 retail) is on the menu for $65/bottle (4.3x wholesale or 3.25x retail). If you're hoping to enjoy some unique BTG offerings or distinctive/unique producers, you really should consider going somewhere else. Overall, the food was quite good. One thing to keep in mind is that we thought the portions were absolutely massive, particularly for the entrees. The lake white fish was an entire side of fish covered in lemon butter and came with a huge side of broccolini. The crispy fish sandwich, while pricey ($32), was also so large that it was basically two normal sized fish sandwiches. Keep in mind, we hadn't had lunch so we were starving and we couldn't finish all the food. If you're lighter eaters, definitely consider sharing. One entree was definitely more than enough for two people. That helps on the wallet too. Overall, it's a good spot and in a pinch, we'd definitely go back, but there are so many other places to explore so it's unlikely we'll be in again any time soon. read more

After eating at their sister breakfast place Wild berry pancakes I decided to check out the Evie for dinner. I picked up to go and was so excited to see char grilled artichoke hearts on the menu. Back at home they are usually only fried. They were grilled perfectly with a creamy remoulade. The signature roll had tuna that was like butter, and all kinds of flavor explosion with the mango and cucumber. My least favorite would be the little gem Caesar. I loved the lettuce and dressing, but the croutons were more of a dusting that gave a sand like texture to the dish. Bonus points for having a steak on the kids menu that went over very well. Overall this is a great spot above all of the shopping and I will definitely add it to top spots on Michigan Ave. read more
