    This restaurant had great food (large menu), fantastic service, and great ambiance. It is a special place to enjoy a special occasion. Our waitress, Olivia, remembered us from last year!. Olivia was very sweet, personable was responsive but didn't hover. We totally enjoyed our experience at Eddie Merlot's. We will definitely return.

    Went for my bachelors party dinner and not worth it. Food was mediocre at best! For a place to advertise prime aged beef, they should face 93A claims for “unfair and deceptive practices”. Our apps just arrived (soups, after 30 minutes) and the dinner was dropped off 5 Minutes after and over cooked. Ordered a wagu filet mr, it came out mw and I didn’t see my server for another 10 - 15 minutes after so I just ate it and paid, we would’ve ordered dessert and more drinks if the meal wasn’t so bad we unanimously said let’s go to the north end and cleanse out pallets. Wasn’t busy, it was kinda slow. I’ve had wagu, this wasn’t wagu…it was a low-grade filet… at best. Not worth your money when del fresco’s is down the street with THE wagu! If quality steaks are your preference, this isn’t the place! Food isn’t the quality advertised, however the prices are!

    Food was excellent, service was incredibly excellent. (Olivia was our server, and she was really great!) Only complaint was the air conditioning system wasn’t working well, so it was a bit unpleasant eating in a hot atmosphere.

    For a restaurant that touts itself as a premier purveyor of top-quality aged beef, this was not a good showing. My client and I both ordered the Prime Rib Eye with bourbon sauce. The steak was mediocre in terms of marbling and tenderness, and lacked the rich flavor I would expect at this price point. The bourbon sauce was inedible due to the excessive amount of salt in it. We had to scrape it to the side as best we could, really bad. The steamed broccoli was good. We each had a cocktail, nothing to write home about, and we shared a bottle of wine. Oh, and we had the calamari which was good. All said, $500 later, I was quite disappointed with what was intended to be a special thank you meal for a great client. Really nothing special here at all.
