We had dinner here while visiting from VA. The food was very tasty. I rarely get my stake, which I like "rare" right. It was right on point!! I was surprised by wedge salad. Presentation and ingredients were nicely pared. Cocktail selection also matched the overall level of the restaurant. We will be back.

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving Dinner at Eddie Merlot's this year. We were able to secure a reservation and were seated shortly after our reserved time. Our server was friendly and was able to offer recommendations. They had a special thanksgiving meal and their full menu was available as well. We were seated in the bar and the atmosphere was cozy and felt a little more private than the room. It was a great night and will definitely have to come back for dinner again.

First time coming here to Eddie Merlot's. Our waitress Rachel was very welcoming and explained the menu to us very well. She made a few recommendations such as the Sweet Spicy Shrimp and the Vanilla Cognac Brownie. Both was fabulous 👌. Rachel did very well checking on us and making sure our drinks were filled. She is a very sweet lady.

Mark did a great job as a waiter. Super friendly and was on top of things. I got the 6oz filet mignon with mashed potatoes which was great! I also got king crab and corn bisque soup which was also very good. I also got the triple chocolate cake. All the food was great!

We came for our 3rd wedding anniversary. Our waitress, Misty, took great care of us. Attention to detail, food was excellent. And service above and beyond. Definitely a recommendation for special ocations.

Misty was pir server and was very attentive to our needs. I ordered the wagyu ribeye, and I must say, it melted in my mouth. Best steak I have ever had. All the food was amazing. Drinks were relatively dangerous, exceptionally good, without really tasting the alcohol. Definitely recommend trying if you haven't.
Zoe Foutz
It was good, very high price, but the environment compared to most was good, nice and quiet. Good for a special dinner every so often. On food alone you could find the same quality somewhere cheaper. The service was excellent from Emily our server and Kevin the bust boy, both were nice. Kevin was very kind.
Sandy Garcia
