    First. I would like to say that my wife and I frequently dine at Eclipse and we will continue to do so. My review today is my concern with the service we experienced Saturday night. It was the worst service we have experienced in a long time, and I have to say it affected the entire meal. After taking the entree order our server (Clay) wasn't anywhere to be found. Plates and drink glasses were not cleared until after the entree was brought to the table. Our dinners were okay, but they could have been warmer. This is also when we were able to order the wine, which didn't arrive until we were half way through our dinners. the poor service affected the quality of our meal and our evening.

    Great experience at Eclipse last night even though we have eaten there many times. The chef, staff, bartender and servers never disappoint and are simply fantastic. Although I am typically not a Manhattan fan, I had the one last night that was featured on the menu. It was by far the bast Manhattan I had ever tasted. My better half had the Lychee martini which was also outstanding. For dinner we had the Pappardelle which is always perfect every time we try it. We also tried the lamb chop special based on Nick's (our server) recommendation. It was flavorful, cooked to the right temperature, and a generous portion served over mashed sweet potatoes and brussell sprouts. I'm still thinking about how good it was! Thank you again, Eclipse for a wonderful dinner. See you real soon!

    I got the chicken which is always amazing! It’s my favorite dish there. My husband got the pork chop and loved it! We will always come back.

    Everything was perfect. Flavorful tomato soup and crisp wedge salad. First server " sent home" second server,Justice, attentive. I really appreciated the sense of teamwork displayed. I loved the bathroom wallpaper and fresh flowers. I kinda forgot how much I liked this establishment.

    The chicken dish is always outstanding which is what I usually get but I let me son try it this time. I chose to get the sausage and pasta dish which was very bland and pasta was over cooked. The salads and desserts were good. We love this restaurant and will go back again.
