    The service was outstanding from the minute we walked in the door! Haven’t had a waiter as professional as Kev in a long time, just the right balance of caring/checking on us and allowing us uninterrupted conversation. The back waiters were equally as competent and I’m sure they had a good teacher. We had a lovely, lovely night! It was our first time dining ant Eddie V’s and we were a table/family of 4. We will absolutely return! . . . and the wedge salad was delicious too!

    The food was delicious a bit pricey but I knew this before we dined. The server was GREAT! I had Branzino and it was a very large portion . My husband for his birthday dinner had the lobster pasta. He said that it was very good. Overall a good experience but even though I had mentioned that it was my husband’s birthday there was no mention of it. This s was disappointing.

The pork croquettes are delish. The swordfish, chicken,lamb and short ribs are all super delicious, the potato cakes with egg roe are awesome, the sautéed mushrooms are super tasty. Finally the cheesecake and pistacho desserts are a great finally.
