    This was our first time. The website gives the impression that it is an upscale dining experience with a dress code that is enforced but we saw ripped jeans, sweats, and hoodies. Disappointed. Not worth the money. Also sat 45 min after our reservation

    We were disappointed with our annual Christmas Eve dinner. Service was slow. We had a 6:45 reservation. We did not have a cocktail / drink until 7:45. The steaks were undercooked / cold.

    The only reason I don’t dine at Eddie Merlot’s more often is because it is always a 2.5 hour event - even if we only order an appetizer and salad. I also didn’t like how the server asked if we preferred still or sparkling water and we all requested still. Being charged for 2 bottles of water was just petty. Tap water wasn’t offered and that was what we all obviously assumed was “still”. Very tacky.
