Evangeline Review - Calistoga - Calistoga - The Infatuation

"The courtyard patio at Evangeline is tucked away from the town's main drag and makes for a perfect brunch spot with standouts like the chicken and waffles served with a delicious gravy and maple syrup that ties it all together. Dinner is a relaxed scene where you’ll find Creole dishes like gumbo ya-ya and shrimp etouffee with hush puppies, and the not-to-be-missed Skuna king salmon. If you’re visiting during the summer, strongly consider taking one of Evangeline’s picnic boxes filled with a bucket of fried chicken and seasonal sides over the bridge to join the locals for a free concert at Pioneer Park, every Thursday night." - Christina Julian
