TLDR: A new breakfast joint with the possibility of being a "go-to" for harbourfront, if they work through some seating and service issues.
My boyfriend and I have been anxiously awaiting the all day breakfast place opening right outside our apartment. So when we saw the "grand opening" signs we were excited to try Evviva immediately!
Sunday morning of their first weekend open, and it was busy! We only had to wait about ten minutes to be seated. Unfortunately, they had squished tables and seats so close together to allow for as many guests in the space as possible. This was an issue as I had to really squeeze between two tables to get to a booth. I was honestly concerned that I was going to bump my neighbour's food with my bum. It was THAT close!
We sat and waited for about 20 minutes for a server to first acknowledge us. And this only happened because we waved someone down. The server apologized for having missed us and we ordered our food and drinks at the same time.
Our food came rather promptly, but unfortunately with a mistake on my plate. They immediately fixed it and we got to finally eat. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich, even though it looked nothing like the image in the menu. My boyfriend found his bacon, eggs, and sausage rather mediocre.
We did find that the prices were quite justifiable.
I have a feeling our experience was mostly related to a grand opening and staff being new,
We will be returning as many of the menu items sound enticing and I'm hopeful that this will become our "go-to" breakfast joint!
