    Service was nice. Ambience was lovely. Food was disappointingly average. Steak was cooked to temperature but bland. Onion soup was okay but not enough flavor depth.

    Nice and relaxing experience at Eddie Merlot's. Surprisingly empty, which cannot be a good sign in this economy. Food was good, although not up to par with the pricing, especially when there are strong chain competitors all around the perimeter. Hopefully things change a little bit so this business sticks around.

    Excellence is the norm at Eddie Merlot's, from food to service to ideal location and views in Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle. I am writing to encourage people to visit in the afternoon. There are few guests post-lunch hour, and the lunch prices are excellent for the same outstanding food. We made 2:00 reservations the past few times and were able to enjoy a quiet meal at affordable prices. I give this restaurant my highest recommendation.

    We got seated 35 minutes later than our reservations and the hostesses were smug about it. For the price, our steaks were below average. The waiter could not get our order right and then offered to take things off our bill but didn’t. The sides were like something you would get at Western Sizzlin’. Other than that, it was great.

    This was my sixth time at EM's . While the previous 5 were wonderful experiences, this one didn't measure up. First, the drinks were mediocre. My $16 Tito's martini, ordered extra-chilled, came out room temp, so I had to ask for a glass of ice (that watered it down). My husband's Moscow Mule lacked kick. Our Caesar salads consisted of warm lettuce, unseasoned croutons, and a bland dressing. The complimentary bread was delicious, but impossible to tear without getting your hands greasy from the buttered crust. My 8 oz. filet mignon was done beautifully, but was barely warm. The loaded baked potato (huge) wasn't very loaded. The Brussel sprouts were very tasty. The Filet Del Mar was disappointing. It was over done, and the bland shrimp needed some type of seasoning. A complimentary dessert for my husband's birthday was a nice touch. The service started out very well, but as the restaurant became more crowded it was obvious they were understaffed. Even though ll the waitstaff maintained professionalism, it was apparent that they were overwhelmed. Perhaps it's like this every Saturday night? We probably will return, but most likely not on a weekend night.

    Our reservation was at 5:30. The food was very good, but the service was slow even though we made our server aware that we had show tickets and needed to leave by 7:15 p.m.

    Fathers Day dinner. Food all overcooked- husbands steak, my “farroe Island” salmon. Burnt , black string beans were replaced by waitress. Very slow. Waitress was trying but seemed to have too many tables Waited way too long for dessert menu, and for the dessert. Check presented before dessert They were busy , but management should have been prepared. Management seemed more concerned about getting more tables ready for late arriving diners than checking on current diners. We have no plans to return.

    Excellent food and service. We usually dine at Capital Grille as we are from NJ and don’t have an Eddie Merlot’s near us and wanted to try something different. We were blown away by the excellent food from appetizer to entree as well as the excellent service provided by Mindo. Thank you!

    We have visited a few times, and have never had a bad meal! Our waiter John was fantastic! And his assistant (unfortunately I don’t remember his name) was so attentive. We ordered the potsticker and calamari to start, the shrimp & scallops, brown sugar bourbon ribeye, the New Orleans mix & the sea bass. We finished with coffee, chocolate cake & the peanut cup. EVERYTHING was cooked to perfection, extremely tasty & satisfying. If you haven’t dined here, you must!
