    Our server (Dave) was wonderful, gave us the perfect amount of service while letting us have a pleasant calm and fun dinner. The food was great and everything came out in a timely manor and never felt rushed.

    My husband and I had dinner here last night. This restaurant is known to be an upscale place and my husband and I have always enjoyed exceptional service and high quality food. Regrettably, this visit was anything but satisfactory. To my surprise, I encountered an inflexible policy regarding menu substitutions (this exact substitution has always been accommodated in the past for me) When I requested to swap fingerling potatoes for a baked potato, I was informed that I would need to pay the full price for the baked potato, even though the fingerling potatoes were included in the meal's cost. The server insisted that the “size of our baked potatoes” made substitutions impossible, showing a lack of willingness to accommodate my request. And anyone that shops at a grocery store knows that fingerling potatoes are a more gourmet option than a baked potato.  Moreover, the server’s demeanor was less than professional. When I inquired about his tenure at the restaurant, he appeared insecure and, quite oddly, shouted out from the other side of the bar that he was “almost 33.” This was not only unnecessary but also indicative of a lack of confidence in his role. He failed to consult with a manager regarding my request for a substitution, which further contributed to the disappointing service experience. As for the food, it did not meet the high standards I had come to expect. The shrimp was quite cool in a warm sauce, and the filet mignon lacked the rich flavor that typically characterizes their dishes. Given the premium prices charged at this restaurant, I anticipated a far superior dining experience. I sincerely hope that this establishment can reclaim the quality and service that once made it a standout choice. It clearly has lost its quality, as my husband and I observed that the bar and surrounding area was quite empty for a Friday night.

    We we're celebrating a birthday which we always choose the chateaubriand at Eddie Merlot's. Eddie Merlot's has been our spot to celebrate special occasions for years. Last nights experience was abysmal. Let me begin. Our server was friendly but obviously inexperienced she stated that she had only been a server for three days. Our server arrived with the meal to carve the meat tableside. The meat was not cooked properly as it is usually seared on the outside on a skillet or grilled to brown creating a crust and roasted to requested internal temperature. As I noted, we have ordered this meal many times at Eddie Merlot's. The meat appeared to have been grilled on a open flame rendering the meat charred on the outside and very rare on the inside. Our server explained she had never carved chateaubriand before and proceeded to slice the cut of meat down the center then cut slices of meat with the grain which made to tougher to eat. The burnt taste and the toughness of the meat were to say the least, a major disappointment. We had another commitment this night or we would have sent our meal back.

    The food was good but, this time last year it was great! I got the filet del mar( this time a different presentation and smothered in sauce couldn’t taste steak or potatoes:( ). Skirt steak special was good but came with 3 starches no veg or garnish. New York strip steak is the best! Full of flavor and nice stuffed tomato with it . Side dishes were tasty! I will give another try, but after that leaning towards another steakhouse. John our server was the BEST!!
