    We loved the live music here… it can be heard throughout the entire space. You can’t go wrong with any of their steak options BUT tonight I had the Parmesan sole and I LOVED IT. Huge portion of fish too… we ordered the following accompaniments; Lobster mashed potatoes (weren’t bad but I’d probably skip next time), the Au Gratin cheddar potatoes (these were AWESOME; I’d get these over the lobster mashed potatoes), honey sirarcha brussel sprouts with cashews (always a perfect side) and the crab fried rice (sooo good)… I loved the bottle of wine we shared, the Penfolds Cabernet from Australia, while the rest of my party ordered various cocktails. Our server, Polly, was attentive, warm and swift… she also graced us with a celebratory round of champagne at the end. This doesn’t matter to most people but I LOVE when the complimentary bread is so good that you actually want more. That happened three times with our party tonight. Eddie V’s is honestly one of the best places in San Diego to have an intentional intimate dinner party with loved ones… yes, this is a beautiful date night location too BUT I’ve enjoyed taking smaller dinner parties here for memorable occasions simply because of their level of excellence from ambiance to the food and everything inbetween…
