"Like all good introverts, you’re totally fine with making new friends and talking to strangers. So long as absolutely no one asks you anything personal, there’s zero chance of a crowd, and your escape route is as thoroughly considered as that one in Shawshank Redemption. Luckily, Evelyn’s Table is an 11 seater basement kitchen where you sit shoulder-to-shoulder with your fellow diners whilst you watch the chef cook your dinner. Yes, it’s intimate. But it’s less mass date of your nightmares, and more your own private screening of Masterchef. As soon as the chef starts slicing your beef tartare or seasoning the lemon sole, and the wine starts flowing, chatting to your neighbours will become inevitable. And enjoyable. Then there’s the selection of sorbets to choose from. Look at that, we feel another conversation coming on." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
