I wish I had anything redeeming to say about our dinner out at Evoke. Ambiance is so-so. You are pretty much in the hotel lobby. Cocktails were fine, but pricey (as expected in Uptown). Food was really bad. My husband and I shared 5 small plates and enjoyed only one...the burrata salad (which is basically a caprese that can't be messed up!) Beware of the asparagus topped w/ fried quinoa. We felt in danger of breaking teeth. The flavored table salt options are a nice idea, until we realized how potentially contaminated the small open dishes (covered w/ a piece of cardboard) with a small spoon for application are. We started sampling and then imagined the grubby fingers before us doing the same...ew! On top of all, we had a remarkably annoying server. At one point we thought maybe we were being "punked". Don't waste your money here.
