Epi's is an absolute gem! From the moment we sat down, every course was unforgettable. We started with the croquettes and calamari both perfectly crisp, flavorful, and the ideal start to a Basque feast. The red bean soup and cream of shrimp that followed were rich, comforting, and layered with flavor. Then came the palate cleanser: a fresh, vibrant salad topped with the best dressing light, bright, and refreshing. For dinner, we enjoyed the sizzling garlic shrimp, served in the most luxurious blend of butter, garlic, lemon, and parsley. Every bite was perfection. The citrus-crusted halibut with creamy lobster sauce was equally divine delicate, bright, and indulgent all at once. Add in the family-style sides of rosemary roasted potatoes and fried green beans, and the entire meal felt warm, abundant, and thoughtfully crafted. Dessert was the perfect finish: the pumpkin cheesecake with decadent caramel sauce silky, rich, and the perfect sweet ending to an exceptional meal. Epi's delivers an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. Highly, highly recommend!

Every time I come to Epi's, I'm super impressed with the not just the quality of food but the perfect pacing between courses and the attentive but not over the top service. Highly recommend.

We both had soup, salad and sides. My mom had the calamari (which she said is the best she has ever had) and I had the croquetas (so silky and smooth on the inside, crunchy on the outside - perfect!) The Red Bean Soup is out standing and my mom LOVES the Cream of Mushroom Soup. I don't know what the dressing is on the salad but it is so unique and refreshing. The sides that night were fresh hand cut french fries and basque rice. Both were awesome. Unfortunately, we were stuffed and took food home but opted to take dessert home ....... rice pudding (which I had for breakfast the next morning). So warming and not too sweet. If you leave this place hungry, you did something wrong.

Our experience with Epi's is always incredible! We had a new server who did a fantastic job. Glasses were always full, dishes cleared in a timely and a personality that really clicked with us, especially our daughters who were similar in age. Great experience again.

Great service food was excellent and there were many Basque related choices. I especially like the fish being available both grilled and baked at the same time.

Honest opinion, if you go, order appetizers and dessert only. We ordered two apps and two desserts and they were incredibly delicious!!!! We don’t regret a thing!!!
Unfortunately, the main entrees were not it. We got a ribeye, I ordered it rare. It came overcooked and flavorless. My husband ordered the lamb (I don’t recall what it was called but it was one of the last lamb options on the menu) it was cooked well. However, the flavor again wasn’t there. Both meats came out with the same orange color.
I’m giving four stars because we will absolutely be back again. The apps and desserts were the best we have had! We ordered the mushrooms, brussel sprouts, seasonal dessert and the bread pudding. Our server was so incredibly kind and on it! It was pretty busy for a Thursday and he was one of two servers. He didn’t let the busyness show though! Ten stars for him!
Oh the clam chowder was also very rich and satisfying! It had a small heat to it.

Such a fun experience for dinner...a great wine list and plenty of entree choices. Delicious soup and the green apple bread pudding is fabulous! We both would not order our entee again (leg of lamb with yellow rice and pepper sides...), but would definitely retun to try others!
