Evo Kitchen + Bar

Every dish from kitchen was phenomenal. Tasty, balanced, beautiful, textured and temperature of food was perfect. Especially, the carrot dish was wonderful. I know you are not big fan of vegetarian dish, but you should try the carrot. It made me thought that vegan life can be a good for a second. Highly recommended, good vibes, foods and drinks.

It all started the day before when we made a reservation with Nick for Evo. I had a really good feeling from him about this place and all came out to be true ! His fun engaging personality ended up being a common theme for the whole staff. We wanted to sit at the chefs counter where could we could observe a highly efficient kitchen full of experts. These guys were something to behold, all highly experienced and very friendly. The cocktails were all excellent and their suggested wine pairing was perfect with our duck and tuna entrees. Both entrees were delicious and unique ! Just the right portions extremely fresh top recipes...To top it off we had an amazing carrot cake that was one of the best we've ever had. The whole staff from the beginning to the end are all working very hard for you to have a fantastic experience. Treat them well when you visit as they deserve it! Do yourself a favor and check them out. We have been multiple times and will keep going back!

This place is absolutely amazing! Evo was recommend to us by friends who dine here on a regular basis, and I’m so glad we were able to check it out and cannot wait to come back! It was hands down the best dining experience I’ve had so far! We sat at the chef counter and did the tasting menu and it is by far worth every penny! From the moment we sat down we had nothing but outstanding service. We were greeted by the bartender who provided complimentary champagne for our anniversary, and then dove into the tasting menu. The bartenders were professional, welcoming, never made us feel rushed or ignored, friendly, and knew how to make outstanding cocktails. Watching every ingredient they put into some of these drinks and the creativity was impressive. I can’t remember all the names of the dishes but every single one of them was mind blowing, flavorful, beautifully presented, crafted with passion, and just straight up awesome! We were amazed at how well some of the flavors paired together and impressed at the portion size! I would definitely say you get more than just a couple of bites!! We had a an awesome variety from the dip with pita, to sea scallops with bacon and maple flavors, a delicious crusted cod, duck, filet, and finished with a goat cheese and fig flan it was all just perfect. I’ve never liked duck before, but the way it was cooked and prepared I absolutely loved it!! It was so tender you could cut it with the butter knife! All of the staff was on their A Game too, extremely attentive and knew how to keep the pace of the meal with out rushing anyone. Each person who delivered the dishes was informative and descriptive with their delivery. At the end of the meal the manager made it a point to come over and thank us for dinging with them and even gave us some carrot cake to try when we got home! It was such a nice gesture and we cannot wait to tell everyone how amazing this place was! This is the perfect spot for a nice little date night, special occasion, or a fancy cocktail- the atmosphere is cozy and elegant but not pretentious, it is just perfect. Great job Evo!! Can’t wait to see you again!

By far the best meal I've had in Portland! We did the chef's tasting menu- vegan option. Every single dish was a winner. For me the fingerling potato dish was perfection. Also, Kevin the bartender was the icing on the cake- making up dealer's choice bourbon and gin drinks on the spot that were perfection. Everyone behind the counter here is an artist.
