First time visitors with friends. The atmosphere , location was perfect, the service was as well. I ordered the Lobster Roll, not what I was expecting at all, Probably the worst roll I've had. I should've gotten the sushi. Lesson leaned. read more

very unassuming spot and very eclectic menu... great service and strange ambiance. i frequented this location for years as bandera and it still looks like it to me lol. i guess the space can't do much with the suit store and the bank prominently in the area. food really is better than what i expected as it first appears that they can't be good at anything with so many different cuisines (sushi, lobster roll, herbed carrots?...) on the menu. i liked my teriyaki burger for the asian influences but black bean did not belong. the consistency was bit too mushy as well. i wish i went with one of their very delicious sounding salads instead. the herbed carrots and my broccoli side was excellent, however. my husband enjoyed the lobster roll - most especially bc it did not contain menu! great service! read more

What a wonderful experience, I consider this to be a dining event . You don't come here to just eat , you come here to experience a food extravaganza. Great job Evie It was our wedding day and you exceeded expectations read more

Great atmosphere, waitstaff is attentive with a smile and the the muscles and clams are a must order!

Got the filet minon and sushi rolls. I do feel like the sushi rolls were a little fishy. Filet minon was phenomenal, a little too chared but the inside was so good. I REALLY wanted to try the baked alaska but they were sold out of it ):. I did try the ice cream with cookies in it, it was really good. Had a crunch to it and some carmel. Definitely good vibe resturant. read more

We had such a lovely Valentine's day dinner here at the evie! The food was very delicious and was brought to our table fast and with a smile! Our server Nancy was BEYOND amazing my boyfriend and I loved her she had great banter and was very knowledgeable of the menu with great recommendations. The restaurant itself was perfect for a date night and was overall a big hit! (artichoke appetizer came with 3 but one was eaten before photo) read more

So I have already been here a couple of times now as the first time was pretty fantastic that we came back. I think the restaurant has filled in for former spot of Bandera very nicely. The first time I got the Mag mole roll, Market fish, and spicy broccolini. The second time I also gotten the Market fish but it was a different type of fish with another kind of sauce but also very tasty. I also fit in a the tres leches the second time and that was pretty good. We also had different servers and they were very memorable too. The second time we went it was the server's first day and he did a great job. It wasn't his fault that they included the special sauce in the burger that my husband did not want and had to get a new order in, but it was nice that he did get another one. The prices are reasonable and it makes for a great place to dine after some shopping along the street. read more

First I lived in the area for years and miss Banderas and missed the piano. But this replacement is terrific. Probably the best service I ever had. Went there twice this weekend. Bar staff and wait staff top notch. Had the Red Trout ..,Delicious. Hubby had several sushi dishes. Took some back. Next night had the sirloin beef appetizer that was great too. Highly recommend. read more

I can only speak to their happy hour but it's a great deal! They have a variety of drinks for reasonable prices and during happy hour they provide free spinach dip which was delicious! My group popped in here for a quick drink before dinner on a Wednesday night, and while we couldn't find enough seats around the bar for all of us, there was plenty of standing room. So it does get busy in the bar area for happy hour. The bartender was friendly and attentive. read more

First time at The Evie in Chicago and I was looking forward to it because the menu looked really good. Our experience started rocky because it took us almost 30 minutes to be seated when we arrived extremely punctual to our reservation. Regardless of the rocky start, when we were seated everything fell into place. Our waiter, Jack, was very nice and attentive and made our experience an eventful one. In terms of the food and drinks, I think the food and cocktails were very good. For an appetizer, we had the Spinach and artichoke dip which was a 7/10. For my entree, I had the steak frites which was an 8/10. The steak was cooked very well to my liking, and the fries were crispy. We all also shared the spicy tuna rolls which were excellent! An easy 9/10. For my cocktail, I had the Pama-ade which was delicious! A 10/10! Lastly, I believe there was a good ambiance to The Evie. It was very cozy but a place you could dress up for, or walk in for dinner after a long day of shopping. Overall, I had a great experience and it is a restaurant I would recommend, especially for big groups because the menu is extensive. read more

Daniel is the best bartender in the city. We've been in the area for a while but he's made us want to be regulars

Atmosphere and food were great. I really enjoyed the bread and the smoked carrots appetizer. The restaurant is overlooking Michigan ave and is beautifully designed. The reason for 4 stars is we made reservations two weeks in advance and sent them a message on Instagram that we were hoping for a window table. When we got there the hostess lead us to a booth, and when we asked to be seated at one of the three empty tables on the window she said "we have other reservations and those tables would have a time limit". We paid attention to those tables and no one was seated at two of them for our whole stay, and some window tables exchanged patrons. read more

It's a very pleasant atmosphere. The staff is amazing and the food is even better. Every part of our brunch was incredible!

A disappointing experience in terms of food, service, and ambiance. The "burger" is a fried pair of smash burgers, served with cold fries. The Caesar salad with salmon was served with a 2 ounce piece of undercooked salmon, plated separately from the lettuce. As for the ambiance, we noticed tables remained empty for at least 60 minutes before their reservations arrived; so we were told to sit at the bar. This is not a realistic accommodation for women balancing purses and shopping bags. read more

I absolutely love Chicago and every time I visit, I am sure to bring my appetite because Chicago definitely has some of the best restaurants in the United States. Tonight, we visited The Evie, and can I say, I am absolutely in love with this restaurant. I researched a ton of restaurants in the vicinity of our hotel and settled on this gem. I was not ready for the ambiance. Upon entry, we walked into a semi dark restaurant. The decor was classy and elegant. We did not have reservations, but once we entered and asked for a table, the manager found a table for us instantly. We were so thrilled. We were seated promptly, and Alyssa (our waitress), greeted us. My hubby started with the bread and butter. He stated that it was delicious 5/5. We ordered a cocktail. I had the Mag Mile martini and my hubby ordered the old fashioned. OMG, the drinks were so strong but delicious. I ordered the cornbread with butter. It was phenomenal, easily a 5/5. Next we ordered our entrees. I had the salmon with bok choy and rice. My hubby ordered the chicken sandwich with fries. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the sweet and sour sauce enhanced it perfectly. The baby bok choy was cooked well, and so was the rice. This dish earned a 5/5 (I cleaned my plate and wanted to secretly lick it ). My hubby stated that his sandwich was delightful, and the fries were good too - 5/5. Finally, we wanted dessert. We were stuffed, but the food was so good that we just had to finish off the night with dessert. I ordered the caramel bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and my hubby ordered the baked Alaska. Again, both desserts were outstanding. This is my new favorite restaurant in Chicago, hands down. Alyssa's customer service was outstanding. She went above and beyond to satisfy our questions, and she recommended some great options. She receives a 5/5 as well. Please give her a shoutout. She really did a fantastic job tonight. The manager who worked the front of the house, and the entire restaurant on 9/28/2023 was excellent as well. Kuddos to him. He worked extremely hard to ensure that everyone was taken care of and happy. He was the bald guy, clean shaven, and wore a grey blazer. I wanted to get his name but he disappeared before I could. The Evie earns a well respected 5/5, and has earned a new loyal customer. Keep up the great work everyone at the Evie. You earned this 5/5 rating. I highly recommend this establishment if you are looking for a low-key, but nice restaurant with excellent food and splendid customer service. The Evie will not disappoint you. read more

I went with a small group of 3 of us on a Tuesday evening around 7pm, and it was definitely packed, busy, and crowded. The staff and team were very kind and checked in with us throughout the night due to the small delays in being seated and receiving food. The lavender lemonade was a perfect mocktail option if you're looking for a non-alcoholic drink. All of us ordered the burgers (either the classic Evie or veggie) with side Caesar salads. We also ordered fries to split. The portions for both were big and it was all very tasty. read more

Delicious sides and gorgeous view. I love a good table with great ambiance. Ordered the whitefish and fried ordered steak. But then the vegetable sides came and WOW. Get the roasted carrots and the broccolini. This place is a hidden gem IMO read more

Stopped in for a drink with friends, we happened to be there at happy hour so I got wine for $10, heavy pour. We did not have any food but they have a decent happy hour me up. Will definitely be back. read more

From start to finish, our experience was excellent. Our server was attentive without being annoying. The large square ice cube in my husband's Negroni was crystal clear. My Pear Down drink was spot on and the dried pear garnish was also tasty! We had three sushi rolls, the magnificent mile, volcano and shrimp rangoon, and they were all artfully done and delicious. My son insisted that the shrimp rangoon roll was the best roll he ever tasted. I had the Steak Frites; which was cooked perfectly, tender and delicious. I've always been afraid to make it at home, for fear it would be tough and tasteless. For dessert, we tried the bananas foster baked Alaska, and it did not disappoint! The presentation was awesome with a slash of rum and set on fire at the table. My younger teenage son is sensitive to noisy venues and found the acoustics perfect for his sensitive ears. We could hear our party easily and the background noise was not bothersome, even though we were seated in the row of booths next to the bar. The ambience was quite enjoyable and pleasing to the eye. The prices were on par with the food. We greatly enjoyed our evening at The Evie and will be back! read more

The Evie is in the old Bandera location and has a very similar looking vibe to it. We decided on this restaurant because my son was craving the roast beef dip sandwich, we called ahead to make sure they were serving it on this night which they assured me they were but when we showed up for our reservation, it was sold out. Their signature salad, which was advertised as paying homage to the macho salad that Bandera use to make was nothing like the original and was not very good at all. Maybe the dressing wasn't seasoned well or we even thought perhaps the oil was rancid but it was not good. We added chicken to it which was served on the side instead of in the salad and it was nothing like the old Bandera chicken which we were told it would be similar to. I won't be back. read more

If you're a big fan or Artichokes and/or Lobster Rolls....sprint, don't walk here! Literally, my two favorite foods and they NAILED both of them. I came with my boyfriend for lunch, we had no reservations but they were able to seat us right away. They sat us next to their large windows facing Mag Mile (which was lovely). Our server Marvin was very kind and knowledgeable. The decor was elegant but not over the top, where I felt out of place in my casual attire. Great hip/chill lunch music that suited the vibe, and the food was EXCELLENT.... We had: - Grilled Artichokes: A MUST if you like Artichokes. Honestly, my new favorite in the city! The aioli was fantastic. My boyfriend typically isn't a fan of artichokes but enjoyed these. - Lobster Roll: Great if you like Connecticut style (warm with Old Bay seasoning & melted butter). They make their brioche buns in-house, which are mush larger than your typical bun you'd have with a Lobster roll. - Spicy Broccolini: Excellent side choice. You can easily split this with someone. It's not over the top spicy, and it had great crunchy texture. - Pommel Purée: SO good! It's basically silky smooth mashed potatoes. Also, a very large portion. - Hand Cut Fries: They were just OK...nothing special. I would definitely try other sides over these. read more

Stopped by The Evie for pre- theatre dinner at the bar. Good ambiance, although pretty quiet at 7pm on a Sunday. Bar service was efficient, but sometimes disappeared for long periods. The food is good, but generally overpriced for the portion size and quality. Be aware, The Evie employs deceptive practices when recommending tipping amounts. Tip amounts are on total bill amount, including tax. They do exclude their 3% service fee though. read more

First off the food was really good and taste as well as the drinks, don't get me wrong. We ordered the Wagyu hotdog, trout, mussels and clams for starters the volcano roll, and a couple Of drinks, in which all of them were great. The only reason why I gave this place 3 stars is because we had reservations for 8:30 on a Saturday, but to be honest we were 7 mins late, but had to wait around 25 mins to be seated. I think I just expected more from this new establishment since it is downtown and had great reviews. But I don't think having people wait for more than 15 mins if you have a reserved table is acceptable. They were not even apologetic about it. Our server was great though, she came checking up on us frequently. Would I come back here, I dunno maybe? read more

We stopped in for a leisurely lunch and didn't expect such a delicious experience. We started with the fresh baked bread, it looks like pretzel bread but it's not. It is the perfect bite of salty a subtle crisp crust and the warm pillowy yeast roll type inside. It was all I could do not to devour the entire loaf. We ordered a fish sandwich (again, the bun was perfect) with a huge piece of battered fish. It was delicious and the fries were seasoned but not overly salty. This is one thing that is easily remedied is the addition of coarse sea salt to almost everything. The food doesn't need it and if you're health conscious, request your meal without. The sushi was also fresh and not overly sauced. Between two of us, we could not finish two rolls but that may be because of my overindulgence in the outstanding bread. The service was excellent as well, our server was honest about the mocktail options in that they may be too sweet for our liking. He was not lingering but was always within reach if we needed anything. Awesome meal and experience. read more

We had an amazing experience at The Evie, having the Corporate Lunch special. The poke bowl was one of the best we've ever had. The burgers were also great. We tried all three of the dessert options, which were also tasty. The best part of the lunch was the spectacular service we experienced. Thalia was helpful, friendly, and made my daughters feel special. We couldn't recommend The Evie more highly! read more

Visited with colleagues on a Wednesday. All staff members were friendly and welcoming, restaurant is cozy. We sat by the door and didn't walk around, bathroom was clean. I had a pear down cocktail and it was presented as 'fall' but I would think it the flavor for more spring time. We got the fresh baked bread and it was very good! My entre was salmon, came with sticky rice and bok choy. The food was delicious but not filling. I would also not say the value is there for the price. Would go back if someone wanted to, but I would not suggest a return visit. read more

We walked in without a reservation on a busy Sunday night and were greeted and promptly seated at a comfortable booth for two after the staff cleaned it up from a full capacity dining crowded restaurant of earlier reservations of knowledgeable diners. The location was quite convenient on N Michigan Avenue/ The Magnificent Mile on the second floor near our hotel. The style was sophisticated and stylish and comfortable. We were greeted promptly by enthusiastic professional server Shai who guided us through the wonderful menu options after presenting our waters and chosen libations. We chose a delicious Caesar Salad to share and we each eagerly selected the Whitefish entree with smoked carrots and herbed potatoes as sides. The smoked carrots were fabulous. The savory Whitefish was divine. After savoring and finishing with a fruit sorbet and a sugar crisp cookie, we enjoyed a closing nightcap at the adjoining bar overlooking lit up Michigan Avenue. We found The Evie a wonderful dining experience, we were quite pleased with exceptional server Shai and her personal guidance, the food was excellent and the ambience was romantic and allowed for conversation on a very busy Sunday night. We'd highly recommend The Evie. read more

Let me start by saying... ask for Jack! His service will enhance the entire experience! Next order the spinach dip! Thank me later!

Last night I had the honor of eating here during their Friends and Family preview week (official/grand opening is scheduled for Thursday 7/20). The place is gorg and vibey, cocktails were delish, and the food wasn't bad at all. We started with the dip and the clams; I ordered the kale salad, which was good, except for the fact that the peanut vinegarette was a bit heavy on the peanut for me. The salmon was delish, and lastly, the bread pudding was a must get (if this is your dessert of preference). Overall, the service was pretty good; everyone was super attentive. I would def go back to sit at the bar, have a few cocktails, and try their sushi. read more
