    The food was good overall. Filet had very little taste sadly but many of the breakfast options were delicious. The desserts were top notch and the waitstaff serving desserts was engaging and funny! However, our main waitress was really subpar. She stood at a nearby table chatting for close to 10 minutes at a time (a number of times!) and neglected to come around to her other tables. No coffee refills, very little checking in to see how things were going. Another waitress picked up the slack and was terrific. We wished we could only tip the hardworking second waitress but she informed us they were “sharing the tables”. They certainly weren’t sharing the workload!

    This visit didn’t feel like the top notch experience that Eddie’s usually is for a nice solo dinner and cocktail. The staff seemed to be unorganized.

    Wonderful meal with a table full of friends. Kristina is an extraordinary wait staff that knows every table wish and thought before the patron! All the staff is one incredibly family of service and great Hoosier hospitality. (Nobody knows what a Hoosier is. But Open Table keeps making it a capitalized word!!) Thank you to everyone supporting our table of old friends.
