We celebrated our anniversary at Eddie V’s based on a recommendation from a friend. The experience was worth it! Our table had a placard wishing us a Happy Anniversary and there was a scattering of rose petals. Our server was attentive but not intrusive. Our steaks were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Definitely one of our top spots now!

The salmon was amazing. The Valentine’s pop up is so cute! Everything was honestly amazing. Unfortunately, I did have a mishap with payment where I’ve been charged 3 times so please pay attention to your waiter & those little handheld devices.
