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!
