Excellent experience! Pictures with Santa was great. Food was tasty. Ambiance was amazing.
I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest. The food was very good, kudos there! However, the service wasn't great. We made a reservation, but it didn't appear like we were expected. I hope the service is better next time.
Had a terrible experience our first time dining here for brunch, and we will not be back again. We arrived here at 11:45 am. We sat there for 15 minutes with no one coming by. Had to ask the hostess where our server, and then he came by to take our order. We ordered drinks and food at that time. Got our mimosa and coffee but forgot the waters we had asked for. By 12:50 pm, more than an hour after getting there, we still didn't get our food and had no update from our server. We couldn't even find a server to ask about the wait time. Finally saw our server to ask and was told it would still be another 10 minutes! We left as we didn't know if it would actually be another 10 mins or even longer. Didn't sound like they had even started on our order. The restaurant wasn't even full. So if you come here, be prepared to wait more than an hour to get your food and have to track down a staff member to ask for anything. Service is seriously lacking here. This was our first time here, and we definitely will not be back.
Great service, ambiance, food and vibes are great. Multiple TVs for watching football. Easy parking. Got the salmon croissant with cream cheese capers and side salad.

The food is excellent, but the service needs improvement. I sat outside, and they only came when they took the order and brought the check at the end. About 35 min apart. The dj in the restaurant is loud and music is all over the place. A family moved outside due to the louad music. Something to reconsider.

The food is fabulous! The service could be a little bit more attentive, but overall was good.
We visited this restaurant recently. The place was clean, and the service was courteous. We ordered paella, steak, dessert, and water. The food was decent, though for the prices, we expected more in terms of flavor and overall value.
Our bill was about $80 before tip, and additional service fees were added, which made the experience feel less worthwhile compared to other restaurants in the same price range. While we appreciated the clean environment and attentive staff, we don’t plan on returning.

Went for brunch, 10/10 for drinks and food. Everything was great. Not sure why it’s not super full. Definitely try it out!

Really good food, nice views.
Just a suggestion though, for 20 burger could you bring my food in a plate next time not a plastic box lol? I ate outside on the table.. that’s the only thing I would change .. food was amazing ..
I decided to take my girlfriend here for our second anniversary. This was our second time at Evaga and everything was great. Our server Charles F. was attentive friendly and truly added to the dining experience. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming and very laid back. Food was delicious. For an appetizer we got the chicken Satay with a very delicious peanut sauce. While for dinner I got the mushroom pizza that alhad dizzles of honey and goat cheese while my girlfriend got the Arrachera which was juicy and had a great flavor. We will definitely be back!

Evaga Desert Kitchen really was spot on, portions that leave you happily full. The restaurant was not busy at all (maybe 2 tables with small parties). Honestly, their kitchen is the only reason this place doesn’t get one star from me.
The service, though… yikes. Our waitress checked on us exactly once, like she was auditioning for the role of “disappearing act” in a Wild West show. Drinks sat empty so long I was starting to think we’d have to harvest cactus water to survive. And yes, they were serving brunch at 3:00 PM, which I guess is either very late or very early depending on how you look at it.
At one point, a tumbleweed literally rolled by outside, and it felt like the perfect metaphor for the pace of the service. If you come here, bring a book, maybe a canteen, and a lot of patience. The food was the only upside to this “experience”.

The food and service were excellent, but the music was too loud. There was a DJ playing music for the pool. It's great if you're looking for a party atmosphere, but it's not the right location if you're looking to chat over brunch.
The food and atmosphere was great!. The music vibe was awesome!. The staff was very professional. The restaurant was very clean. It reminded us of a resort.
The food was outstanding and so was the service. What a way to start a family day!

Walked in with an outside drink and Vincent was very professional with telling me I can’t bring outside drinks in. I later tried to come in after leaving the pool and he was very professional in telling me I had to have a shirt on. I then lost my wallet and he continued to be super helpful in finding it for me …Vincents patience was above and beyond and made for a great experience here.
