Cafeteria Boston

Food was definitely more on the pricier side but as expected at Newbury. Would recommend the Shrimp Scampi, Short Rib Gnocchi, Calamari, and Pizza. The Pita and Hummus starter wasn’t anything special so I definitely wouldn’t order it again. Many of the cocktails are Taylor Swift themes which is pretty neat. Service was pretty attentive and atmosphere is nice.

I tried Eva for the first time recently when grabbing lunch with a friend. My friend had been here once before and suggested we get the street corn dip. I have not stopped thinking about the dip since! It is so good and well portioned, I’ve been wanting to go back just to get that on its own. I also ordered the Shrimp Pizza which was ridiculously delicious as well. My friend got the Margherita Pizza with gluten-free crust. We both also got 2 drinks each (4 different ones but names I cannot remember) and we both enjoyed all of them.

We wanted to have a date night and glad EVA was our top choice. Amazing atmosphere and ambience, topped with great food and drinks, sugar coated with fine service. Our server was the best! Just rating 4/5 for food as we both thought that our burgers were a bit dry. Rest everything was goooood! Must try: Street Corn, Falafel Burger Drinks: Monkey Business

Had a lovely evening eating here on the patio. Service was great! Burger gets a 7.5/10. The lamb’s really nicely flavored and the cucumber lebneh is great, but the bun’s a bit dry and its super messy to eat by burger standards. Salad was good. I had a white sangria- it had a bit more elderflower than I would’ve liked compared to the amount of wine in it. Overall, a really good meal and experience. I’ll be back :)

Got the Braised Short Rib Gnocchi and was a little disappointed for a $38 dish (7/23). Dry, stringy beef and the dish was unsalted. The meal was good otherwise. Tried a friend's Cobb salad; the avocado was overripe and a bit soapy, but the salad was good besides that. The pizza quattro formaggi was good. Service was excellent, but the restaurant's absence of leaving a water carafe for the table means you may spend half your meal thirsty. Lovely restaurant ambiance with tasteful decor. Extremely slippery tile floors when wet. Use caution on a rainy day.

Typical brunch spot on Newbury with decent food but disappointing service. Snuck in for brunch this past weekend. As mentioned by other people, service was quite slow and unorganized, and we couldn’t get anything for the first 20 minutes. They also forgot to provide us with silverwares even after we finished our appetizers. Thankfully, most of the dishes we ordered were solid. For the appetizer, we had the tuna tartare which was topped with diced cucumber, spicy mayo, and avocado mousse. The quality of the tuna wasn’t the best, but its combination with the toppings and wonton crisps was delightful. Among the mains, our favorite was Dulce de leche pancakes. Sprinkled with candied pecans and banana chantilly cream, the pancakes were extremely fluffy, and I liked that they weren’t overly sweet. On the other hand, sweet waffles were probably one of the worst I’ve had in my recent memory. They were too thin and dry, and maple syrup and berry toppings didn’t help much. The overall brunch experience here wasn’t impressive, but if you’re looking for a decent brunch spot that has last minute reservation availability, it might be a good option.
