Epi’s is an absolute gem! From the moment we sat down, every course was unforgettable. We started with the croquettes and calamari both perfectly crisp, flavorful, and the ideal start to a Basque feast. The red bean soup and cream of shrimp that followed were rich, comforting, and layered with flavor.
Then came the palate cleanser: a fresh, vibrant salad topped with the best dressing light, bright, and refreshing.
For dinner, we enjoyed the sizzling garlic shrimp, served in the most luxurious blend of butter, garlic, lemon, and parsley. Every bite was perfection. The citrus-crusted halibut with creamy lobster sauce was equally divine delicate, bright, and indulgent all at once. Add in the family-style sides of rosemary roasted potatoes and fried green beans, and the entire meal felt warm, abundant, and thoughtfully crafted.
Dessert was the perfect finish: the pumpkin cheesecake with decadent caramel sauce silky, rich, and the perfect sweet ending to an exceptional meal.
Epi’s delivers an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. Highly, highly recommend!

Honest opinion, if you go, order appetizers and dessert only. We ordered two apps and two desserts and they were incredibly delicious!!!! We don’t regret a thing!!!
Unfortunately, the main entrees were not it. We got a ribeye, I ordered it rare. It came overcooked and flavorless. My husband ordered the lamb (I don’t recall what it was called but it was one of the last lamb options on the menu) it was cooked well. However, the flavor again wasn’t there. Both meats came out with the same orange color.
I’m giving four stars because we will absolutely be back again. The apps and desserts were the best we have had! We ordered the mushrooms, brussel sprouts, seasonal dessert and the bread pudding. Our server was so incredibly kind and on it! It was pretty busy for a Thursday and he was one of two servers. He didn’t let the busyness show though! Ten stars for him!
Oh the clam chowder was also very rich and satisfying! It had a small heat to it.

Absolutely amazing, I just wished we would’ve gone here sooner! I got halibut, and it was incredible, he got the ribeye and liked it, I wasn’t a huge fan of the sauce but he enjoyed it. The soup, salad, and bread was also terrific. We actually specifically went for their seasonal basque cheesecake, and it was worth it! The service actually stood out more than anything though, we were treated like special guests the moment we walked through the door, absolutely exceptional. I can’t say enough good things about this place! We will definitely be coming back

Had the chance to go to Epi’s recently for the first time. The food was excellent and the service was on point. The menu had many great choices. The calamari was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes had the perfect texture. The waiter was quite friendly and attentive. The atmosphere inside was crowded and quite loud. The prices for the main courses seemed high for some of the portions.

The food was absolutely amazing. Every bite was packed with flavor, fresh, and cooked perfectly. You can tell when people truly care about what they’re serving.
My wife and I loved how it’s small, cozy, and has that comfy, home style atmosphere that makes you want to sit back, relax, and stay awhile. The kind of spot where you feel welcome the second you walk in.
I highly recommend Epi’s to anyone looking for a place to eat and to be treated like family.

My husband and I went to Epi’s for our 5-year anniversary after hearing so many great things about it. We knew it would be a bit pricey but were looking forward to the experience and the food. Unfortunately, we left disappointed.
We had reservations and were seated immediately, which was nice, but we were surprised by how loud it was in such a small space, it felt a bit overwhelming. The service, however, was excellent. Our server was attentive and kind, which we truly appreciated. Sadly, the food didn’t live up to the hype.
We ordered an amber beer ($7) and a vanilla soda ($4.50), the Croquetas de Jamón ($16) for an appetizer, and for our main courses, the Meatballs ($32) and Smothered Garlic Chicken ($32). Each entrée came with fries, a choice of soup (mushroom or bean), salad, and rice.
The fries were decent but overly salty. My husband chose the bean soup, which unfortunately tasted like it came straight from a can of beans, bland and unseasoned. I had the mushroom soup, which was a little better but still overly salty, and I usually like salty foods. The croquetas were rich, very salty as well, but passable. Oddly enough, the plain side salad was the highlight of the meal, fresh and paired with a really tasty dressing.
As for the entrées: the meatballs were underwhelming, tasting like plain, unseasoned meatballs in a basic red sauce. The accompanying rice on both plates tasted like a frozen microwave rice and veggie blend from the grocery store. My chicken dish was extremely rich and salty, I only managed a few bites before deciding I was done.
While the food wasn’t awful, it was far from memorable, especially given the price. I was also disappointed with the presentation, everything was served very plainly and didn’t look particularly appetizing as you can see from the photos. Our total came to $125 with tip, and we decided to skip dessert after the disappointing entrees.
All in all, I’m glad we tried Epi’s once, but I wouldn’t recommend it and don’t plan to return. For the cost and all the hype, I expected far better quality and flavor.

Another excellent meal! I had the beef medallions with a peppercorn sauce. It was very good. My husband had the special. It was scallops with mushrooms in a tasty sauce. He loved it. As always way to much food. We will return

Nice cozy atmosphere, bit pricey for the portion, definitely a date night thing, but for bigger peeps, you’ll still be hungry. But really good food.
Gotta make reservations!!!
Service is top notch.
Bread: really good, seems freshly baked.
Chowder: Chowder
The fried spears: I forgot, must not have been memorable.
Beef tongue: very tasty
Ink fish: very good, don’t dog these til you’ve tried them
Gateau basque: very good, unique and overly sweet.
Flana (flan): nothing to write home about.
Green apple bread pudding: good, but that’s it.
Sustain.
Trailer parking Difficult.

The food is quite good here although the price definitely relents that. Other people mentioned being disappointed by the entrees in either taste or quantity but my wife and I were very satisfied. She got the shrimp and I got the ribeye. Probably the most notable thing about our visit, however, was the service. This is a meal that is served in courses and the waitresses were watching our table like hawks. As soon as each course was finished they were bringing out the next one.

Such a fun experience for dinner…a great wine list and plenty of entree choices. Delicious soup and the green apple bread pudding is fabulous! We both would not order our entee again (leg of lamb with yellow rice and pepper sides…), but would definitely retun to try others!
