    We came here for our anniversary. We were immediately greeted at the door with roses and champagne, that was already such a great experience. Once we checked in with our hosts, about 5 minutes later we were escorted to our table and we had the best view of the ocean. The table had fresh rose petals all over it, followed by a hand written “happy anniversary” card from Eddie V’s. Once our waitress came by, she came by with 2 more glasses of champagne on the house. We ordered a bottle of Daou reserve, the 22 OZ rib eye streak, mashed potatoes, truffled mac and cheese and asparagus. The night was absolutely beautiful. Our experience was amazing!!! Thank you to Eddie V’s for make our anniversary PERFECT! 10/10 across the boards!!! Selena was the best waitress ever! Shoutout to the WHOLE staff that night!

    Wow. I took my fiancé here for his 40th. They had a birthday card on the table which was such a sweet touch. Henry was our server and he was such a joy and made our night. The food was absolutely incredible even with some modifications I needed for some food allergies. Would absolutely go back there again. Such a great experience! Highly recommend the shrimp cocktail and the French onion soup.
