    James was an exceptional server/bartender/Sommelier/hostess! He gave perfect recommendations to pair with our starters and meals. The Norwegian Halibut was amazing! The evening was extremely special celebrating our dad’s birthday. It was sweet and memorable to have two daddy daughter dates as well. Molly also was so sweet! We will definitely come back! Thank you and Happy Holidays!

    Husband wanted Surf and Turf and reviews said this is the place to go. Just inside the city which was easy to get to - had valet for $12 which was a bonus to not have to worry about parking. The building itself is spectacular housing several high end restaurants. Eddie V's had non crowding tables and booths, live entertainment, the service was exemplary and the food even more enticing. Everything came out timely, cooked to perfection and warm. They even accommodated the gluten free portion of party by immediately handing them a special menu without having to ask and serving veggies and dip when the gluten rich bread was being served to others. I only deleted one star from the ambience because the restaurant itself did not have any kind of a view of the water but then again we were looking for a great meal and this restaurant did not disappoint. Would definitely visit again.
