We arrived mid afternoon on a Sunday and to our surprise the place wasn't super busy. We were worried we needed reservations but luckily we got a seat! We were greeted promptly and the hosts were friendly. Our server was amazing and she was quick when it came to anything we needed. A special shout out to the kitchen for accommodating some special requests when it came to our meals, we really appreciate it! The drinks tasted amazing and the food was even better. Overall I will definitely be back to try some of their other cocktails and meals!

I've been to Evo so many times for their trivia nights with friends and decided to stop in to have a quiet lunch by myself. It was honestly just what I needed at 2pm on a Friday. I had a craving for their chicken Waldorf wrap. I have had most of everything on the menu, and all the food is good. The fries are consistently good and temperature hot which I appreciate. I love restaurants that welcome people who want to eat alone. It's a comforting, occasional need to just sit and enjoy lunch without having to drive through somewhere. Serving staff is always welcoming at this location. They are attentive and care for each patron.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at EVO Kitchen on May 24th 2025 and it was a perfect experience from beginning to end. We did not have a wedding planner, or any idea what we were doing, but we started our planning journey with EVO based on a recommendation and from there everything fell into place. Taryn who runs events at EVO went above and beyond at every step, so helpful and kind. I really cannot speak highly enough of her support throughout this process as well as all other staff members we interacted with before and during our wedding day. Especially the serving and bar staff were exceedingly sweet on the day. We can't wait to go back for other events and we hope one day to get to attend a wedding here as a guest. About a year before the wedding we attended EVO's "Wedding Open House" event where we met our photographer and officiant - there is a great network of wedding vendors in this community many of whom were involved in each others weddings and it makes you feel like you are in great hands (which we were!). They have many different options for how you want to set up your day, we decided to have our guests sit in their dinner seats for the ceremony so that we would not have to move things around before dinner - though that was a definite option for those who prefer a more traditional set up. We chose the buffet-style dinner which was a big hit - however the appetizers that were brought around were so delicious and filling that a few of our guests actually had thought that was dinner! So no shortage of great food... We also had the bar open throughout (from a pre-ceremony cocktail hour through dinner and dessert) and actually wrapped up the reception at 9pm even though we could have stayed until 1am (we chose to host a more casual after-party for guests who enjoy a late night). We really appreciate their patience and assistance with our slightly-non-traditional wedding and the venue itself is exactly our style. As well being able to take pictures around this beautiful area in Cambridge was a huge perk!

I had not been to EVO for a few years. I went with a dynamic group of people, eleven to be exact. It was Good Friday, with a fish and chips special feature. I was impressed that EVO had renovated into a fine dining ambiance, no longer a counter where one lined up to order and receive their food. The food and service were excellent. The fish was cooked to perfection, light, crispy on the outside, tender, and tasty on the inside. The coleslaw was unique, made with red cabbage, fennel, and apple. Portions were ample, enough for a nice take home if you ordered the 2-piece. Our server coordinated the food for our group like he was conducting an orchestra. Bellissimo!

Could not have been more thrilled with my experience at EVO kitchen. My now husband and I happen to come in for lunch one day, and just knew this would be the perfect place for our wedding! We loved the mixture of Natural wood and modern feel. Planning the wedding went so smoothly due to the assistance of Taryn! Communication was quick and clear. We ordered catered boxes for the morning of the wedding for myself, my mother, and my bridesmaids, and they were the perfect bite to eat before the wedding. They handled all of the set up, and completely blew my expectations out of the water. They also assisted in the tear down and had everything organized for removal. The food was incredibly fantastic, all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their dinner, and everyone with a dietary or allergy restriction, had their needs met with no problems! The bartenders were quick with their service, and there was never much of a wait for a drink! They were incredibly catering to myself and my husband, as the bride and groom, which we greatly appreciated as well! We look forward to coming back for anniversary dinners in the future!

I've been to EVO for Wednesday trivia nights for so many months now, it's about time I wrote this review! The food is always delicious, they're always great at accommodating any changes, and on the very rare occasion something is mixed up they are so quick so fix it. Everyone who works these events are awesome, but I've got to shout out my favourite server Hailey, such a sweet woman who always makes the night even better!
