Great service, food, atmosphere. The food is a little pricy but very flavorful rich foods. I went there for my anniversary with my wife. It's a small restaurant which allow the servers to be attentive to your needs. If your looking for a romantic dinner with your wife or girlfriend this may be the place for you.

Evan's is one of the last building driving north from South Lake Tahoe and a bit off the normal tourist route. But, it is well worth the effort to drive here for a very creative dinner. Our friends from Denmark raved about the dinner and the service. Since it is not a large restaurant please make reservations to reserve a... More

We were staying across the street at the Fireside Lodge and thought we'd just run across the road to have a bite. Little did we know what we would find at Evans. Despite not having made reservations, the Host seated us and made us feel welcome. He especially pampered our 7 year old which was completely unexpected given the elegant... More

We found this restaurant by talking to a local guy who owned a wine store in town. We took one of his bottles to the restaurant (reasonable corkage fee) and then were completely wowed by everything. The atmosphere is cozy and home like, the staff was totally knowledgable about their menu and ingredients. My son and I split a spinach... More

On a snowy evening last week we went to this wonderful restaurant for dinner. It is quite small with only 11 tables for either two or four people. It is like walking into the front room of a little cozy house.The minute you walk in the door and are greeted by the hostess,you feel warm and welcome. The tables, covered... More

My husband & I found this restaurant from Tripadvisor. I must say that the reviews are true to form. This place was fantastic!! We would definitely return & recommend it to all of our friends. It's in an old home that's been converted into a restaurant. Quaint, cozy, and let us bring out own wine for a reasonable corkage fee.

Had a wonderful meal at Evan's. It is in a former house and has only 12 tables, so the atmosphere is intimate and quiet enough to have a 4 way conversation. The food was excellent, with daily fresh specials that are innovative and interesting. One waiter for the place, and he spent time with us and ensured our evening was... More

Evan's only get better with time. We've been coming to Evans for many years now and it only gets better. Fresh inventive dishes. The grilled artichoke on the side of yellowfine tuna was a very fine touch.Appetizers also very good - sweetbreads on filo pastry are simply to die for ( and you probably will with all the colesterol -...
