At Eddie Merlot's, we take pride in crafting dishes that speak for themselves. From our perfectly seared New York strip to our rich, melt-in-your-mouth ribeye, every cut is cooked to perfection.

    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.

    The food was great. The server was good. The air condition must have been broken because I was sweating. Overall, a good experience.

    First time dining at an Eddies and it was great. Our server was Carly, who was finishing her training but performed like a veteran. Engaging personality, helpful suggestions, attentive but not intrusive. Really makes customers feel special. Every dish was prepared and presented well and delivered right on time. Won’t hesitate to return to this or any other location. Well run business.
