In the heart of downtown Boston, Eddie Merlot's is your go-to spot for an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're here for a corporate event, a birthday party, or a romantic evening, our Boston steakhouse offers the perfect blend of sophistication, comfort, and flavor. We're proud to be the local expert when it comes to steak, and with a location just a stone’s throw from the iconic Boston Harbor, the bustling South End, and Beacon Hill, you're in for an evening that reflects the heart of the city itself.

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. Pair that with our buttery Lobster tails or fresh seafood, and you've got a meal that's second to none. Looking for something more decadent? Try a Filet Mignon topped with blue cheese or a signature sauce paired with a bold red wine or a crisp sauvignon blanc.

I would first like to start by saying our server was excellent so it really does pain me to write this review. He went above and beyond to try to make our dining experience great. Unfortunately all his efforts could not compensate for the food. We tried quite of few things on the menu - fried calamari, charbroiled oyster, crab cake, steak, and shrimp. Almost everything we tried was either under or over cooked and lacked seasoning/ favor. The only thing saving us that night were our drinks( the Parisian lemons drop were so good) and the warm bread they served before our meal. The meal was very disappointing and probably explained why the restaurant was pretty much empty on a Friday. I really hope the kitchen can make some changes to recipes and/or because that dining experience was not what I would expect from a high end steak house. Please do better

We waited 15mins to be greeted upon seating, every meal was brought out without silverware to eat it with, one of the servers had his book on his back under his belt - so unhygienic! Food overall was good, with perfect temperature for the meat!
