  • "Saturday night was 3rd time here at Eddie Merlots . My chopped salad and grouper were both excellent. The sides: asparagus grilled just right, creamed spinach to die for; broccoli was steamed and had no seasoning on it so very bland; the hash browns which server highly recommended were pasty and tasted like frozen from grocery I could make at home.The filets were excellent though one ordered medium well arrived medium rare so had to be sent back. We have never had outstanding service at this restaurant and this night was worse then usual.We were never served any bread. Server came to table infrequently and timing was odd.Very long delays between wine flights. Desserts are nothing special."
    Dined on 6/27/2014

  • "Enjoyed dinner; very good food but the meal was spoiled by poor service. I felt we were ignored by our waiter= never asked for coffee refill could not get his attention because he was busy with other tables. Clean up service was unacceptable, we waited almost 20 minutes for our dirty dishes to be picked up. A real lack of detail by the wait stall."
    Dined on 6/21/2014
  • "Salads are large and tasty, mixed grill is very good. Wine flights are now available"
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "Eddie Merlot could be so much more if they would get their act together. After waiting quite a while for an appitizer to arrive, we waited over an hour for bread and salads to be delivered to our table. My pork chop was so tough it could hardly be cut with a steak knife. And, we had to request flatware for the table. On other occasions, they have been out of listed wines we requested, and fallen short on food and service as well. We would like to see them succeed since it is nice to have an up-scale restaurant in the area, but we have always been disappointed with them."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "I like the ambiance the room is kind of retro 60's 70's or Vegas like.I find the price point better than most steak houseswhat the states being equal or better than the likes of Gibson'salso has a vibrant bar scene for the suburbs"

  • "My wifes cousin mentions Eddie Merlot's every now and then with elevated reviews. When thinking of a place to celebrate with a dinner it was the first place I thought of. I like the decor, the staff was attentive and very friendly. It was the middle of the week so seating and wait time were a breeze. I ordered a calamari appetizer and I will go on record as saying the texture was perfect. She ordered a steak and paired it with the recommended wine. She was satisfied with her meal in every direction and insisted I try a bite. I agreed with her the second her sample hit my mouth. I had seared ahi and sweet potato casserole. Very satisfied and we will visit again!"
