    We were on vacation for Spring Break from Minnesota and stopped in at Eddie V’s after walking to see the seals and sea lions. When we lived in San Antonio my husband and I would go to an Eddie V’s for date nights all the time. We loved it but there aren’t any in Minnesota so we were so excited to dine here, especially because we were celebrating my husband’s birthday. We had Stephanie Dooley as our server, who, coincidentally used to be in San Antonio as well! Small world. Service was top notch, ambiance was beautiful and food was perfectly cooked. Perfection!

    The Marine Room was a fantastic experience for us, especially celebrating our anniversary. We were able to get seated at a window table and they even surprised us with a personalized menu that said Happy Fifth Anniversary. I really appreciate the staff acknowledging my special note on the reservation. The view of the ocean was very nice and we even got to see a sea lion play around in front of our window. Overall, the food was amazing and we recommend the crudo and swordfish. Service was attentive and our server, Peter, did a great job.

    Lovely day to sit outside. We enjoyed our server and the vegetarian lunch specials were not as good as I’ve had previously but still enjoyable.
