    My friend and I were celebrating several occasions between us both. From the time we entered the restaurant to when we left everyone was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Our server Erin was top notch! We never had to ask her for a thing. She anticipated our every need. The best part of the evening though was the food! It was EXCEPTIONAL! There was so much that we took half our meal home. Definitely try the trio medallions and their carrot cake. Just scrumptious!

    For over 10 years we have ate dinner at Eddie Merlot's on our wedding anniversary, and sometimes other days during the year, and have always had a wonderful evening. Unfortunately, this year didn't quite shine as usual. Most of the food was great, but the wine was wrong initially, one steak was wrong and only fair (ordered wagyu ribeye, turned out to be only a regular ribeye), and our server was pretty poor for this level of restaurant. Hoping our next time back will be like it used to be.
