This is a real house turn into a restaurant. 3 lady’s are the hosts, they are the waitress and they all run the front of the house. Great hospitality. The food was incredibly delicious!! The savory cheese cake made with fish and lobster was really nice and yummy. Our scallops were great the sauce and pasta were delicious the fillet mignon also. Big selection of wines. The atmosphere is very nice, I love the small restaurant quite and peaceful. We were here to celebrate my husband birthday and we all have an amazing time. The lady’s will make sure there is not crumbs on your table.. very fancy, I love the attention. If you are in Tahoe you must stop by this restaurant!

Just walking in and smelling the air you can tell the food will be delicious. Everything was great, as four of us split 4 appetizers and 4 main dishes. There was so much food that we didn’t have space for more than one dessert. And we even took some food home. The lamb, scallops, quail, and steak was my favorite. And the chocolate dessert was perfect in texture and taste. I got this recommendation from a friend, and now I recommend it to anyone heading to South shore. Oh, and the wine list was very reasonable.

We reserved a table at Evans for our Elopement night dinner. It is a beautiful quaint restaurant where people go to celebrate. The ambiance was great not too loud, tables were distant enough for privacy but close enough you could have a conversation with other guests (which we did multiple times throughout our meal) The wine was fairly priced and the service was spot on. If you want great food look no further. This was definitely the best part about this perfect restaurant. Perfectly cooked, the right temperature and a great blend of flavors. We will go back to Tahoe just to eat at Evans.

It’s so delightful to find a gem like Evans in Lake Tahoe! Quaint, small and DELICOUS!!! I haven’t been to Tahoe in years, but having dinner here was one o the high lights of my trip. I had the special Halibut with wild rice & veggies, butter salad first, served with freshly baked sour dough. As a chef treat, duck liver pate with crustinis served. My friends ordered the Duck and Pork chop dinners nothing was left on their plates! Desert, housemade Rasberry ice cream, Choc creme brulé with berries served with a raspberry sauce Reservations are a must, so plan ahead.

When my new Bride and I drove to the edge of town and walked into this restaurant I had no doubt that this was the best in all of Tahoe. The service was superb, the food delivery was amazing and the food itself was magical. I’ve ate at the top restaurants in town but this beats them all hands down. I will be back to rave once again.

Great atmosphere, set in a quaint old home on the south shore of Tahoe near emerald bay. The food was spectacular as we’re the staff. Desserts are all right on the ball
