Evan's Gourmet Restaurant

Stopped in here last night with my wife for an anniversary dinner. We were looking for a casual, low-key, neighborhood place. What a fantastic find! The food preparation was outstanding. I had the filet with crab cakes and my wife had the sea bass. Both done to perfection. Our server was super-attentive and very friendly. In addition, the live music on Saturdays is a great touch. Great artist that gave the place a nice vibe. Will definitely go back and would highly recommend. Note: This restaurant occupies the former site of Roux Restaurant, which to it's credit, was also outstanding and will be missed.

Filet was amazing as well as the black rice the place is so cute and had live music. Great place Service was also amazing

Nice and cozy place. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Food was great and live music made my day . Thank you

I am dreaming of the BBQ shrimp as I write this, specifically the sauce. I reserved a table at 5pm on a Thursday, the reservation was not needed but hopefully they'll be filled to capacity soon because this place is GREAT.. the service, the decor, the FOOD! The sea bass was cooked & seasoned well, the coconut rice was really good. We also had a dinner salad which was so fresh & light (& I am not a fan of arugula.. at least I didn't think I was?)We plan to come back for brunch.

Locals small coastal town cuisine serving continental fare. Soon to become a locals secret spot without a doubt. They spare the hipster food & dish out actual good food. The wine list is paired nicely.Tammy, the server, seemed excited to be a part of this place. Looking for a hyper local restaurant for dinner? This is the hidden gem.

Great spot for Sunday brunch! Loved the especially the blue crab Benedict! I'm from Maryland so definitely impressed by the amount of crab meat as most places had a lot of filler. Definitely will be back and highly recommend!

The food here is amazing! seriously one of the best restaurants in Laguna Beach. You can tell Evan put her heart and soul into the place. I highly recommend it. You won't be sorry.

We were looking for a restaurant near Neighborhood Church to eat before an Opera Laguna concert. Evan's Gourmet popped up just a block away. We made a reservation, but it wasn't needed early that evening. It's a cozy spot a block off PCH on Glenneyre, so you need to seek it out. There was plenty of street parking. There are only about 10 tables plus the bar and a limited menu, but we found a lot to like. We got appetizers (my crabcake was excellent) and split a salad, which was dressed with subtle flavor. When we walked by after the concert, it had filled up. I realized that I had eaten at Evan's Gourmet Bistro at the Sawdust Festival and really enjoyed it. The service was attentive but not overpowering. A hidden gem!

We love Evan Gourmet as our neighborhood go-to restaurant where everyone is friendly, especially Traci, and the food is delicious. We really enjoy sitting at the counter while talking to and watching the chefs create the dishes. They have the best burgers ever; the crabcakes are outstanding with the jalapeño tartar sauce and the lobster bisque is delicious too. They have specials like fried chicken on Wednesdays and meatloaf on Thursdays. It's all great - a tiny place with a giant positive attitude.

I came here with my husband last night after a candlelight concert at the church a block away. The food was delicious. I had the best chicken dijon I think I've ever had. My husband had the filet mignon and crabcake special, which he said were superb. They have a short but good wine selection. The place was cozy and service was excellent. They also had a singer guitarist who added a nice ambience.
