Superlative. Possibly the best Restuarant I have ever eaten in. —Service was exemplary. —Located in what was a scenic town center. Made for some pleasant walking after diner to view the monuments, fountain, and an entertaining mine. No graffiti. Pleasant. Entrance was small. —Bartender definitely the most entertaining I’ve ever witnessed. This guy has tremendous style/flair. He made me want to order a mixed drink—which I never order. And didn’t last night either. —Wine: A bit pricey, but good. Extensive menu. We chose one of the least expensive reds: Cabernet Franco for $50. Very nice. Split this bottle with the couple who came with us. —Food. This is where they really nailed it. The Eden team is a well oiled machine. Everyone working together to put on a top notch experience. Style and flair was evident everywhere. Started with the complimentary bread bites. Very impressive. Ordered a tasty cucumber salad ($18) that also stood out as “not your ordinary salad.” Full of Colors—great presentation. Perfectly dressed. All four of us were served a delicious and perfectly dressed small house salad that came with our entrees Followed by an 8 oz tenderloin (medium rare—I added mushrooms) that was nothing short of outstanding. Came with smashed potatoes, and a smattering of vegetables and sauce. The perfect plate. $60 My wife had the halibut in a bed of delicious chickpeas. She was very pleased, but liked my plate better. Two choices for dessert. (Had to see what they would do next!) We chose the chocolate moose. An excellent dish—good to split, and very good presentation lol everything else. $180 + a generous tip made for an expensive evening but I would go back several times a year if they were in my town—and my wallet feeling flush. Great experience. If you watch food shows—THIS is what the competing chefs are attempting to do. Also—a rather heathy way of cooking. Felt good. Not loaded with guilt. Ten Stars and my highest review ever for Eden. Reserve!

Amazing meal. So fresh and spot on with all the flavors. Great wine selection. So love they support local farms and wineries. Eric our bartender/ server was very knowledgeable and paired our wine and food perfectly.

One of the absolutely best meals I have ever had in a restaurant. Great concept restaurant for farm to table local vendors. We had a reservation for four and tried one of each of the large plates and had 3 of the small plates and all were absolutely perfectly cooked and so delicious. The mushrooms on toast points was so good everyone wanted more. The buratta was delicious and the tomato and cucumber salad was so fresh and delightful. The steak was cooked to perfection with an amazing chimi churri and the halibut was divine with a perfectly paired chick pea salad. The pasta which was so unique was beyond compare. Chicken was so tasty and beautifully prepared. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of Semi-dry Reisling by Herman J Weimer winery which satisfied palettes from sweet to dry. And can I just say that the desserts will surely satisfy the sweet tooth in us all. Chocolate mousse paired with whipped cream mandarins with the most amazing brittle and their own personal in-house prepared short bread rivals the best sold anywhere. The service is on point and maintains a professional yet very friendly vibe. Our server Tyler did an excellent job and Noah behind the bar even prepared a special lemonade for us from scratch which was really tasty. Will definitely return to this restaurant often as there are always new and wonderful surprises on the menu. Bravo! Chefs take a bow!

The food and service at Eden is great. If you order one of their cocktails they are excellent. If you just want a dry martini, no matter how you beg and plead for just a drop of vermouth... you get at least an ounce of vermouth.... I like a dry martini before a great meal. It's the only thing wrong at Eden....

Food was excellent. You can tell they put in the effort. Service was also excellent. If i had a negative and its very minor,I ordered a sour ale and it was a peach flavored beer but peach was not mentioned on menu. I wish it had cause i am not a peach fan. We will definitely eat there again.

OVERPRICED. The food is good (not great), but extremely overpriced. Whiskey cocktail (La Cle) just tasted like bitters. $11 for a pint of lager is a crime. The best thing we had was the Bibb lettuce salad with champagne vinaigrette (awesome).

Excellent food and service. We would love to return. We were promptly met by Brian who turned out to be our server. We had two cocktails which were amazing. The starters of burrata and the beef tartare were delicious. The mains were equally excellent: the halibut and babaganoush. Service was attentive and helpful. Thanks to the team!
