    The charcuterie board was nice. EXCEPT the gouda was about 30% rind which was inedible. Even worse I asked the server to be sure that this doesn't happen (because you did this to me last time). And it happened again. Look, don't serve little chips of cheese if they aren't all edible. If it were a wedge with obvious rind, I could avoid it and wouldn't complain.

    Too noisy. My wife and I will not be coming back because there are equivalent restaurants in the area that are much quieter. Food was fine, server was attentive, but I cannot understand the current rage to equate decibels with “energy”.

    Not sure what “Bistro” really means, I think its something different for everyone. That said, for me its about a vibrant intimate setting experience that is not pretentious, the food is well prepared to be enjoyed, not overwhelmed or intimidating, and a fair price that would bring us back. So for us, Eclipse hit it out of the park. A well balanced variety of dishes that everyone at our table couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was in a great setting where a mix of diners gathered for an enjoyable night out. I am looking forward ti trying their other restaurants.

    This was our first time dining here, and we were celebrating a birthday. Justice, our server, did an excellent job. She was delightful and made good recommendations to help us decide what we wanted. The food was delicious, although my wife said her mushroom risotto was salty. We plan on returning with friends.

    Simply superb! I am ALL ABOUT a dimly lit restaurant - CLASSY service - Justice was our waitress and she was PROFESSIONAL and knew that menu! It was my first time here - usually go to Taverna Rustica which we also like - the bartender there recommended your restaurant when I asked him about which one in the conglomerate was dimly lit - he did not steer us wrong! Food was top notch - this place is a don’t miss
