I went with my boyfriend for our anniversary and it was the best restaurant experience I’ve had to date! The food was a 10/10 super delicious and rich!! The service was also amazing, we had Danny and he was so attentive and kind. They even decorated the table, sent over free champagne and dessert because it was our anniversary. I couldn’t say enough good things about this place it’s a must try!!

Eddie V's Prime Seafood is an upscale Seafood restaurant located in the heart of Back Bay. This place has exceptional service, they made sure we understood what was being served at each time, explaining the dish as they came out. Food came out quite quickly, and they even accommodated for any allergies in our party. The food was good. It isn't the best seafood you'll find, but the quality of the dish was still high tier. The soups were rich in flavor, wasn't overwhelming on seasonings but still had the thick and creamy texture expected for the soups. The food portions were a bit small for the price, but the quality was still good. The dessert came out and they torched it at the table, providing a great photo opportunity as well as making sure the dish was served fresh and tasted great right away.

I dined here with friends and it was the best experience! The staff was professional and the ambience was soothing and perfectly suited for the occasion. Food was tasty, well presented. I had the Chilean sea bass, Crab fried rice, and the grilled asparagus. A bit pricey I’d add but I’d go again 😅.

I give my first visit to Eddie V’s in Boston on 9/3/24, a 10/10 definitely recommend. I enjoy solo dates, and that particular night was for my birthday. The staff was very accommodating, and that was even before mentioning my birthday. John, the bartender was so friendly and sweet. Alex and I believe Lauren gave me a little history about the Eddie V’s itself since I was one of the first to arrive that night. And John, continued to checked on me and had such patience with my indecisiveness of the menu. They have a live band after 6:30Pm which made it an even nicer vibe. And on a Tuesday, I was able to find a meter parking spot right out front. The crab-cake was the best I’ve ever tasted and John brought over the sweetest dessert to help me celebrate my night. I will definitely return.

It’s a mission of mine to try all the Eddie V’s in the US and when staying in Boston recently I came here. I stopped in on a Saturday night with coworkers and since we didn’t have reservations, we sat at the bar. Service was decent and was friendly. Menu is the typical menu at Eddie V’s (same seafood options, beef, sides, etc). Drinks were very nicely made while we were at the bar. We started with their calamari and it was great, as usual. Then two of us ordered their lamb chops and they were prepared perfectly! I opted for their stuffed shrimp, which I’ve had many times at other locations and it was nice. Their crab fried rice was on point, as usual. Overall, we all enjoyed the visit and would recommend stopping in.

This restaurant is far superior to much of the fine dining nearby. I've been here 3 times in the past 3 years and each time it's better than I remember. The cocktails are fresh and novel. There is live music by the bar, as well as very attentive staff all throughout. The steaks and the seafood are truly unbearable.

I have not been to Boston in about 10 years and when I was here the last time it was a quick stop over after a cruise so I never had the opportunity to see or do much of anything. On Friday, October 11th, while here on a family emergency a dear friend chose to take my 94 year young grandmother and I out to Eddie V's Prime Seafood in Boston as a belated birthday dinner for her because unfortunately she broke her hip after being in the state for only 3 hours. From having to take the elevator to the second floor, I knew it was going to be an experience, and it did not disappoint. Oh my... the entrance from the time you stepped off the elevator was giving royalty vibes. The Hostess's and managers greeted with smiles and due to my grandmother being in a wheelchair, they quickly attended to us and sat us at a beautiful round table, which allowed my grandmother the space she needed to manoeuvre. Upon hearing it was a belated birthday, the Hostess quickly brought over a handwritten birthday card, and she spread the table with a few sparkly decorations. The gesture was truly heartwarming. While this was being done a very handsome young man (and yes, I did tell him he was handsome) came to our table and introduced himself as Isaiah and that he would be our waiter (not sure if he actually said waiter as I was mesmerised by his beautuful, warm smile) and that he would be serving us tonight; and serve he did, from the drink suggestions (mocktails for two of us and wine choices for the other two) to a Salmon taster, to the recommend Crab cake starter, the House Special of the night for our mains and Fosters Banana Butter Cake as our dessert, believe me no stone was left unturned. Isaiah's presentation, his level of professionalism while executing each course, was truly second to none. His attentiveness to our request and his patience really spoke volumes. The night at Eddie V's Prime Seafood with Isaiah as a great ambassador for the brand is one that I will not forget anytime soon, and I will 100% recommend it to everyone. If you are looking for class, excellence, great tasting food, a beautiful atmosphere, and hospitable staff, hands down, this is the place to go. Oh and I almost forgot to add that they have live entertainment; and while I didn't go and sit in the lounge to enjoy it, it could be heard while we were dining which made the atmosphere even more pleasant.
