We live in Wisconsin but decided to dine at Eddie Merlot’s, Lincolnshire, to celebrate my wife’s 65th birthday. I specified this milestone event on my open table reservation. Our waitress, Ana, was excellent. We ordered the filet pot stickers for an appetizer which I would not recommend. The filet was not up to Eddie Merlot standards (this was not our first time dining here). The braised short ribs and cedar plank salmon were nicely prepared. Crème brûlée and chocolate cake completed our dining experience. Regretfully there was no acknowledgment of my wife’s birthday. I wasn’t looking for a free dessert but a candle would have been nice especially since I specified the birthday on my reservation and we did make the long drive. Although we may dine here again should we be in the area, we won’t make a special trip and certainly not for a special occasion.

Tried the featured Short Rib tonight and it did not disappoint. They gave me a steak knife but it wasn’t necessary. Great service from Sue as always

It was a perfect dinner from beginning to end. I brought my family that was in town for the holiday weekend. Everyone loved their meal, highlights included the ahi wontons, filet potstickers, and of course the steaks and all the sides! Steve was a wonderful server..just fantastic!

We had thanksgiving dinner there 2 years ago and decided to go back this year. It was very crowded, to be expected for thanksgiving. The service was very slow and it looked liked they had enough help. Didn’t have a beer, ran out of the wine, side orders not delivered, turkey was very generic, likely from frozen turkey breast. Overall the other food options were pretty good, except for turkey, which not everyone ordered. The bill was given to us and everything broken down ala cart instead of the fix price. Two and a half hours later we finally left. Probably won’t go back next year

Good food and wine. Service was mediocre. My one request is oysters should be shucked from the shell. Short ribs were amazing, and so was osso buca
