"Evergreen Eatery is now open in the former La Rana Rossa space in Jamaica Plain, courtesy of the JP Seafood Cafe team — Phil Paik, his wife Kristen Hunter, and his sister Karen Paik. The restaurant focuses on classic American diner dishes with some influences from Latin, Caribbean, and Asian cuisine. Early visitors have shared photos of banana pancakes and avocado toast, while Phil Paik noted in a Facebook conversation with fans that the restaurant has a variety of vegan-friendly and gluten-free options. The menu might include dishes like BLT spring rolls, chicken and waffle sandwiches, and more. Evergreen Eatery also has an express coffee and juice bar for on-the-go drinks, sandwiches, pastries, and more. The restaurant has room for about 50 inside and almost as many on a seasonal patio outside. It serves breakfast and lunch on the diner side from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed Mondays), and the cafe side is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
