eva

great hours and tasty food. nice place for a variety of dishes. gourmet pizza,smallplates, and great wine, beer, and cocktails. great late-night hours on the weekend. it's a bit loud, and small, so if you're dining during peak hours make sure to make a reservation.

delightful!

eva's was within walking distance from our hotel, and because of some of thesmalldishes on their menu, we decided to give it a try. it was amazing! the food and staff of highest quality. we will certainly stop there on every visit to slc in future

"tapas style" at ridiculous prices!. unlike eva's menu, realsmallplates or "tapas" are also known forsmallprices. even their ok main dishes are "small plate" size but double the money, so definitely not worth it. these are not spanish tapas at all...if that's what you're looking for, this is not the place to go.

what makes a great brunch spot? for me, there has to be plenty of egg-based dishes or dishes topped with eggs, since eggs seem to be the quintessential qualification for a dish to be in the breakfast category. there needs to be breakfast cocktails like mimosas and bloody marys; bonus points for any drinks garnished with bacon. and the restaurant needs to be an inviting place where friends can casually enjoy their food. eva, thesmallplates restaurant in downtown salt lake city, is an excellent brunch spot that covers all these bases.

most people will know eva for theirsmallplates menu available most evenings till late. equally worthy of your time and money though is eva’s sunday brunch. the menu takes in many familiar sights such as eggs benedict ($10) or stuffed french toast ($7.50). what caught my eye though (and arteries) was the hearty full irish breakfast ($9.95). this caloriffic plate of goodies is sure to ease those early morning pains with rashers of real irish bacon, sausage, roasted tomato, house potatoes, two eggs any way you like em, toast and jam. and if that’s not enough, and a hair of the dog is in order, there are five different varieties of mimosa to wash away those sunday blues with too ($4-$6). eva 317 s main st, salt lake city, ut 84111 (801) 359-8447 www.evaslc.com the post eva: full irish breakfast appeared first on best of slc .

eva's completely disappointed me last night. i ordered the watermelon salad and they neglected to include the mint. my oink, oink, oink came out cold, cold, cold! chilly pig fat is not delectable, especially when asmallplate costs more than an entree size at red iguana.

eva is like my happy place.  some people crave certain comfort foods on bad days, i just crave eva , the downtown wine andsmallplates bar on main street.  many of thesmallplates are comfort foods, like the amazing mac and cheese (see below) or the spanicopita, but it’s also the casual, comfortable atmosphere that encourages relaxing after a long day.  there is always a quiet buzz and a community feel to the closely-positioned tables and their wine list has plenty of bottles under $30 so you can order a whole bottle without feeling like you’re splurging. i was having a rough day on tuesday (or maybe just craving eva’s mac and cheese), so it seemed fitting to meet meagan there after work.  the tiny restaurant was already packed with people and the noisy purr of wine-filled conversations was picking up.  we ordered three of our favorite dishes to share and opted for cocktails instead of our usual wine.  i ordered the blood sugar sex magic cocktail : high west rye, roasted red pepper,

consistently good. there are a lot of negative reviews here, but i've been to eva a bunch of times in the last year—on dates, impromptu dinner and drinks with a friend, and i usually take visitors from out of town there for dinner, and it has never disappointed. it has always been good, and sometimes excellent.

i've always ordered lots ofsmallplates for sharing, and recommend it—this isn't somewhere i'd go for lunch by myself. i only had pizza once and didn't love it enough to order it again, but the daily risottos are amazing—creamy, flavorful, perfect texture. there are a lot of great veggie dishes to snack on, including the green beans, snow peas, cauliflower with kalamata olives and the amazing brussels sprouts, which are smoky and oily and nutty and delish. the chicken wings are ridiculously good—succulent, flavorful, sticky, everything one could want from chicken wings. the gnocchi are satisfying, if a little bit bland. the bread with three butters is a no-brainer. i seem to remember the oink oink oink (?) being less awesome than i expected, but perfectly fine. overall, the kitchen is liberal with salt and fats, so don't go in looking for health food. that said, usually when i eat there well over half of what goes in my mouth is fresh vegetables.

the service is friendly, good humored, and laid back. and pretty slow and slapdash, so i go when i'm prepared to relax and hang out and enjoy the company i'm with and the food and drinks we're sharing. i would never bring a group of more than six people or asmallchild or baby there—it's not that kind of place. it is the kind of place where i feel equally at home dressed up or down, which is a plus. also, the last time i ate at eva, an item that took a (particularly) long time showing up was taken off the bill without our complaining about it. i'm totally glad that eva exists in salt lake.

i agree with many of the other reviews concerning consistency and service. this too use to be one of my favorite spots for great local food, however, the inconsistency in quality of theirsmallplates, in addition to the horrible decline in customer service has caused me to chose other options. such a same, as the location is so great. here's to hoping they turn over staff for a more friendlier and welcoming crew.

great ambiance and yummy food. i love getting together with friends here to sharesmallplates and have great cocktails.

ridiculously good. i cannot say enough. we have yet to have a bad dish here, despite many visits. the portions are generous for asmallplates eatery.

good food for a late night restaurant. fried calamari was good. also the pig three way pizza. everything come in asmallplate but also good price.

small space, decent food. i lovesmallplate type restaurants. many of the plates here are good, not fantastic. the restaurant is verysmalland very loud.

phenomenal!. delicious unique dishes, exceptional service, wonderful ambiance. eva takes you away from the typical feel of a slc restaurant - the outdoor seating is wonderful and the menu is continually changing.smallplates allow you to try a wide variety of delicious options. favorites: almond ribs, three cheese flat bread, and loukoumades, just to name a few.

our group loved every dish!. last night was our second visit to warm and welcoming evas, and it was one of those evenings where absolutely everything was perfect. it's asmallplace so to be safe, make a reservation. what to have--we've truly enjoyed every tapa, pizza, salad and pasta we've tried, and our group sampled at least half of the menu. creative, unique, and just the right amount of sauce. someone once told me that you can judge a restaurant by how it prepares vegetables -- evas passed the test--you must try, yes, really--the brussel sprouts--thinly sliced, sauteed in olive oil, garlic, balsamic?? and something else--oh what was it?? more research required!
