    We celebrated our anniversary with their tomahawk steak tomahawk steak and lobster for two. It was amazing! Our server, Misty, was excellent! She constructed our brownie dessert at the table, complete with flaming cognac and toppings. Everything was extraordinary and I highly recommend this Eddie Merlot’s experience!

    Misty took great care of us! She remembered us. My wife and I dined on the last day of our anniversary month. Everything was delicious. We tried a new wine from a winery that we already know. It was great! Blindfold Blanc de Noir from Prisoner. My steak was cooked perfectly.

    Misty did a fantastic job taking care of us! She is a wonderful server, knows that we drink iced tea with lemon and simple syrup along with the bread and butter to start. Our meals were delicious. The Ahi tuna and lemon Dijon chicken were prepared perfectly. We also loved the key lime pie. Wish it was on the permanent menu.
