    Haven’t been to this location, and was a little nervous and felt bad coming in on XMAS but grateful they were open. Did the experience and have been to many rodizio restaurants. Two major things stood out. The options of getting rare meat as opposed to getting everything cooked well done was really appreciated. Lastly, Even though we don’t talk about him, Bruno went out of his way to fulfill my request for chicken hearts. I wasn’t aware that it was special request only and when asked he got it done. Bravo. Very appreciated of all the staff for working on the holiday. I work in the industry and had the holiday off to work in Pittsburgh for my radio work or I would have been working back in NJ. So thank you I’m sure it wasn’t easy being away from family.

    Husband wanted Surf and Turf and reviews said this is the place to go. Just inside the city which was easy to get to - had valet for $12 which was a bonus to not have to worry about parking. The building itself is spectacular housing several high end restaurants. Eddie V's had non crowding tables and booths, live entertainment, the service was exemplary and the food even more enticing. Everything came out timely, cooked to perfection and warm. They even accommodated the gluten free portion of party by immediately handing them a special menu without having to ask and serving veggies and dip when the gluten rich bread was being served to others. I only deleted one star from the ambience because the restaurant itself did not have any kind of a view of the water but then again we were looking for a great meal and this restaurant did not disappoint. Would definitely visit again.
