Eva

"We like to think of Eva as our sweet ex we actually like running into, because everybody (including our mom) loves this spot. Eva has been a downtown Salt Lake City classic for over 15 years, and the menu is full of consistent and creative Mediterranean small plates. You can’t go wrong with the harissa carrots or vinegar-laced brussels sprouts, but you should also save room for heartier options like the truffled wild mushroom pizza. Regardless of the season, try and get a seat on the heated outdoor patio behind the restaurant to cozy up with a new, also mom-approved, crush." - jenny willden
