Have been two scales numerous times. The food always knocks it out of the park. The steamers appetizer and the baked halibut were to die for.

Thank you Evolution for another lovely evening. Love your atmosphere and new menu was outstanding. Chicken Parmesan was delicious and ample (probably enough for 2). We will definitely be back!

Chez Rosa is one of our local favorite restaurants. The food is absolutely delicious and priced very reasonably and the service is impeccable. Quinn took excellent care of us and his recommendations were spot on. We look forward to returning again!

We went for dinner last night at Plat du Jour to experience the fall menu. After being seated in the cozy dining room at a table near the window, we were told the catch of the day was Halibut prepared with a verte sauce containing olive oil, lemon, basil, tomato and fennel. My wife started with delicious french onion soup and I chose the lamb meatballs. The meatballs with the tzatziki sauce added that fresh cucumber pop to the dish. We both chose the catch of the day Halibut. Cooked to perfection, the verte sauce combined with the fish was a flavor burst in every bite that left you wanting more. For desert I had the strawberry shortcake and my wife had the beignets (her favorite). A perfect ending to an extraordinary dinner. There are many great choices that we cant wait to come back to explore the menu further.

    Amazing food and impeccable service. We're really glad we made reservations, this is not one of those restaurants that you can walk in.
