Last dinner at eve

Whether you are a fan of Facebook and other forms of social media or not, we would never have known eve, one of our favorite restaurants, was closing at the end of this week if not for Facebook. I happened to be on Facebook when eve posted that the restaurant was closing. My perennial dining companion immediately made us reservations for Wednesday via Open Table. When he checked back a day or so later, there were no reservations available.

We arrived Wednesday night and were seating on time and the restaurant was just buzzing and completely filled. We love the space eve occupied, brick walls, high ceilings. We each had a glass of Malbec and split the conch fritter appetizer and enjoyed the fresh bread, which came with three different butters. I ordered the flank steak, which was served with portabella ravioli and was perfect. My perennial dining companion had the scallops which was served with rice and shredded brussel sprouts. Regrettably, neither of us had room for dessert but the meal was wonderful. The service, as always, was tremendous.

We will miss eve, but look forward to checking out Eve Aranoff's new restaurant in Ann Arbor, Frita Batidos, very soon.
