I am a serious foodie! I care about the food that I serve my family. I want them to enjoy good, healthy options. I want mealtime to be family time. I try to teach them how to cook, eat out, make the right food choices, eat slower and and live a healthy lifestyle. My ten year old son wanted to started a blog and that is where this journey began. Here is " our family food blog"


We hope to share reviews of restaurants that we (our little family) visits, recipe ideas, helpful shopping tips, exercise information, articles, websites, events, favorite wine selectons, Basically how meals are an important part of our family. We hope you will enjoy and share your comments with us.

Review: Evo Bistro - 1313 Old Chainbridge Road, Mclean VA

We have been to Evo Bistro many times since moving to the area.  We have found there are not really many choices for a reasonably priced meal in Mclean, besides Italian.  Evo focuses on tapas and wine. The atmosphere is always lively.  It's a nice local choice for reasonably priced food and it's very casual so jeans are definitely appropriate.  Our kids like it as well.

We have found the food to be extremely consistent, as is the service.  We have tried almost all of the tappas but one of my favorites is the salmon served with a tomato, artichoke and black olive ragout.  We also love the salads.  My children like the mussels in white wine and spices, although the complaint is that sometimes a bit too garlicky.   They make a chicken and shrimp and shellfish paella which is an entree and really wonderful.  Perfectly spiced and enough for 2!  Wednesday nights they offer 1/2 price on ALL of their wine bottles so this is the night to go.  They have some nice selections and at half price, you can't go wrong.
