    This was my first time at any Eddie V’s. We went to the La Jolla location and I was not disappointed! I brought my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday and they had decorations at the table, which I didn’t even ask them to do! They offered us a complementary glass of champagne, and sat us near the windows so we had an amazing view. The food was incredible, from the appetizers to the main course. She was given a free birthday dessert, that they flambéed at the table. Thankyou you to Eddie V’s for creating such a wonderful experience for her and for myself, we will most definitely be back!

    Our party of 4 turned into a party of 6 when we ran into 2 of our friends who were at the bar! The hostess was kind to rearrange our reservation to add our friends to join us for dinner. I was pleased that Brigantine was able to accommodate us! Max was our waiter & provided excellent service during dinner & great recommendations. He suggested the seafood tower for one of our appetizers which was delicious but I gave 4 stars as crab claws were slightly frozen & lacked the sweetness. I ordered the surf & turf which was outstanding & the steak & lobster were delicious! Excellent dinner, will def be back.

    A terrific dinner with a couple of minor service miscues. The cocktails, oysters, wine, and meals were delicious. On the service side our server was terrific, friendly and very busy. The dozen oysters came without the small plates and small forks which showed up half-way through. The other items was we ordered a bottle of wine to enjoy with our meal that wasn’t brought out until we had our food. I still rated our experience as excellent.
