    The best dining experience of our lives. My wife and I are quite the foodies. We were celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary and when booking the reservation I noted it. Upon arriving we were greeted with the wait staff wishing us a happy anniversary and having rose petals spread across our table. We started the evening with a half dozen or assorted oysters, BY FAR THE. BEST WE HAVE EVER EATEN. Literally melted in our mouths. Continued our evening with the crab cake which was also booming with flavor and extremely creamy. We both ordered the 10oz filet & 7oz lobster tail for our entrees. The filet was incredible and once again the lobster tail was BY FAR the best of our lives. Never had lobster just fall apart as soon as you bite into it. We shared the truffle Mac and cheese and wow, just incredible. We were given a small portion of their famous bananas foster and butter pecan ice cream on the house, once again the textures and flavors were just incredible. Finished our evening with a couple espresso martinis that were just right. Already planning our next visit and can’t thank Eddie V’s enough!

    The food was excellent. I ordered the fillet with scallops, which were quite small compared to my last experience, and my husband ordered the bone in New York. Both were cooked perfectly and were very tasty. I wouldn’t recall the Caesar salad as it had no taste and wasn’t a traditional Caesar salad. The staff was very pleasant and did a great job. Would definitely recommend and plan on returning in February for our anniversary.

    Our waitress was so amazing. It was pretty busy but she was so attentive and able to balance her tables and still managed to aid our table even during the rush hour. Very hard worker and cared about her job. We’ve been going to the brig for years and she was by far the best server we have had .
