Special Event Information

Welcome to Evvia Estiatorio, a Restaurant that prepares the finest Hellenic cuisine, this is one of the many wonderful gifts that the ancient Greeks contributed to the modern world. The origin of this cuisine, (so mythology tells us), began when Zeus planned his wedding banquet to celebrate his marriage to the Goddess Hera, on the island of Evvia. Zeus commanded that Dionysos, the God of food and wine gather the world’s freshest, healthiest, and most savory ingredients and to prepare a banquet truly “fit for the gods.” Zeus loved this food so much that he decided to share it with his beloved Greek mortals giving birth to this new cuisine. At Evvia Estiatorio, we prepare this Aegean cuisine in the style of innovative California faire. So please, come and join us for a truly memorable experience. Special Events in the Dining Room: For parties of 12 or more, a prix fix menu will be submitted for selections in advance. For any parties 20 or more people, please make your selections from the Family Style Menus 1 or 2. For parties of 20 or less people, you may select menu 1, 2 or 3. Prices do not include beverage, tax or service charge. Capacities: Our Restaurant can accommodate groups of up to 120 people. There are no private dining rooms, but several unique seating arrangements can be configured to accommodate parties of all sizes. Deposits: We ask for a 50% deposit for estimated costs of your function, to guarantee your reservation. All deposits are non-refundable if cancellation occurs within 7 days prior to your scheduled event. Parking: For your convenience, we offer curbside valet parking at $4.50 per car for lunch & $6.00 for dinner. For buyouts there is an additional charge for valet services in addition to the price quoted for your event. Wines: Evvia has researched some of the finest vineyards in the world. We have a wide variety of wines to choose from in all price ranges. We also have reserve list available upon request. Some of our wines are highly allocated and will not always be available. Please inquire with our wine buyer Lyle Coffield, if you do not see something that you would like to offer at your event. We will do our best to accommodate your wishes. Decorating and Special Services: You may make arrangements with the management ahead of time to drop things off or have celebratory cakes delivered. Entertainment is only allowed at buyout events and is separate from the price you are quoted.
