Reviews for Evelyn's in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I recently dined at Evelyn’s this evening. The ambiance is nice and it is cozy as well. I ordered the pumpkin soup, pita,... salmon and yucca fries. My drinks were stilled water and winters garden mock-tail. At first I had ordered the saffron rice butto my liking I didn’t enjoy it as much. To compensate, the manager gave me a delicious desert by the name of Tropical FruitPavlova. It was so so good!!!. I took a point off because I felt that my waiter could’ve been a bit more attentive to me. Overall the food is interesting and is an acquired taste. Read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. Such a well thought out menu. Each dish is prepared with extreme attention to... detail. Ingredients are super fresh and top quality. Evelyn’s puts a modern twist on classic Mediterranean dishes that workperfectly. I love the nod to local Fort Lauderdale history with the naming. Ambiance is nice, outdoor dining area is nice for amore casual dinner and inside for something a bit more formal. Service is always top notch, beyond what you’d expect from theFour Seasons brand. You must try the Jerusalem Bagel and the Batata Harra. The Truffle Hummus is also really really good - andthey use actual truffles, not some fake truffle oil. Wagyu beef skewers are also a good choice. For dessert - you must try thePavlova.\n\nEdit: Each time I come back the food and service gets better and better! Truly a gem here in Fort Lauderdale!

Sit outside on a day with a nice breeze and its therapeutic. The pumpkin soup had too many seeds abs a pineapple juice for $19... is a little ridiculous. The truffle hummus was good but not worth it. Wagyu skewers were tasty but not mind blowing. However,probably best pita bread I’ve ever had in my life. Read more

One of the absolute best Mediterranean food we have had. The restaurant made our celebratory dinner super special. Chef Brandon... is a culinary artist and Our server Christian took special care of our dining experience. The truffle hummus was to die for. TheAustralian wagyu sliders were an experience of their own. Overall a 5* experience. Nothing less expected for a restaurantlocated at a Four Seasons. This restaurant made our Fort Lauderdale trip worth it. Read more

Very understated (but very pleasant) dining room that isn’t located in the most obvious position - even the elevator doesn’t... signpost the 3rd floor as containing the restaurant. Ocean views without the road noise that blights the other seafrontproperties.\n\nThe service was personable, professional and attentive throughout. The hostess was extremely welcoming.\n\nThemenu is very interesting and everything we chose was excellent. The wagyu skewer was especially noteworthy with a funpresentation.\n\nWine markups are pretty steep but there’s a good selection served in lovely stemware.\n\nEvelyn’s is agreat addition to the fine dining restaurant scene in Fort Lauderdale. Look forward to returning. Will keep checking back to seehow often the menu changes. Read more
