We had made reservations here. It was wonderful. We had a private area by the windows looking at all. The people from Boston passed by. It was just amazing. Our server was this guy very polite outgoing took care of my son for his graduation that we celebrate. we’re from Houston Texas. We came a long way to come get that type of treatment Because we went other places and let me tell you they treated us like dirt Boston people are so rude, but this place made us feel like home. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience the food was great we give y’all 10 stars. From : Garcia Family .. I have a picture of our waiter very nice person. Thank you again.. The food was delicious everything and I will be back again in that private little area room. We loved it 😍

We stumbled across this gem on our recent Boston trip. This place blew us away. The ambiance was great. The host was warm and welcoming. We sat down at a great corner table and the servers was there within minutes. The drinks came quickly and the menu was epic. So many amazing options. I got the medallion and my fiancee got the wagyu steak all dry aged to perfection. I can't say one bad thing about this place. This is a must stop.

My fillet mignon was cooked perfect, the onion soup was great and the bread-very tasty, but one of the servers had his check presenter in his pants, we had to ask about spoons and knives for every meal (they just forget them), and we had to explain that a drink "up", in a coup glass means "no ice"-twice! :) The executive chef was very polite and knowledgeable! Overall not going to be recommending it for a NYE dinner but more like an everyday place :)

Darren was our server. He was very courteous and helpful. It was my boyfriend‘s birthday, and he treated him so well with his enthusiastic demeanor and made it a memorable experience. The food was great and he offered him the cream brûlée as a birthday treat! It was very unexpected and well deserved! Thank you for a great experience!

Amazing meal! 10/10. Everything was perfectly cooked. Note- double check parking validation since ours didn’t work when we paid at the parking lot.

Had a phenomenal dinner with my better half here while visiting Boston. Great drink specials. Attentive service. Prime ribeye was a grand slam. They might have also had the best cream spinach I’ve tasted across the country. Jayo was our server, he was a rockstar. Intimately knowledgeable with the menu and perfect pairing options. Will be back the next time I’m in Bean town. Give this guy a raise!

My boyfriend and I dined at Eddie Merlot’s for Valentine’s Day. Vanessa was amazing and took great care of us. She provided us with great wine pairing recommendations and desserts choices. We will ask for her in the future.
