Quality, exceptional service, and an unparalleled atmosphere have made Eddie Merlot's one of America's great steak houses over the past 20 years. Eddie Merlot' s is an homage to the man and his love of a great steak, a great glass of wine, and a good story.
We pride ourselves on our Prime Aged Beef and scratch kitchen. Our chef selects each steak for the optimum proportion of marbling and texture before hand-cutting and seasoning the steaks to your specifications. From sauces to desserts, we develop recipes to create a truly unique experience for our guests. And, while you enjoy your meal, you'll be treated to the one-of-a-kind service we call the "W.O.W. Factor."

We welcome you to Eddie Merlot's—we want you, our guest, to have nothing but the best, which is why we go to such lengths to serve you the exceptional prime-aged steaks upon which our restaurant has built its reputation.

    The food, as always, was just perfect. Our server, Nick, was friendly, knowledgeable, and just generally entertaining.

    Christmas Eve dinner at Eddie’s is a tradition. Unfortunately, this year Service was not good. The restaurant seemed understaffed. It took 30 minutes to get bread and 35 minutes before we got our cocktails. Food was good but my steak was not cooked to my liking. I didn’t send it back due to the slow service.

    We typically do Christmas Eve Dinner here. Our waitress was nice, but I think they were understaffed as she didn’t get back with us a frequently as normal. The steaks were ok, not as good as they have been in the past. The sides were fine. We were seated in the area next to where people enter and head towards the bar…this is not sealed off so people were peering in looking at the diners. Normally EM turns people away on a night like this with no reservations - seemed like they were going to get everyone in vs servicing those of us that made a reservation. At the end when we got our check, no mints like you normally get…again, just not the level of service we are used to getting here.

    Unfortunately the fireplace we sat next to was broken and it was quite cold in the room. Our plates and silverware were chilled. You would think for Christmas Eve you would have repaired it.

    Courtney was our waitress. She was very good. We will request her on our next visit. The food was excellent as usual. The resturant was packed. We both our rewards members and made a reservation several days ahead of time requesting a table in the bar area next to the fireplace. Patron were camping out so we had to sit in the room south of the bar. It was cozy and very quiet. Nice location.

    I want to preface this review with saying I’m in the service industry and understand sometimes it can be hard. BUT, This was top #1 worst service I’ve ever had. Our server was rude from the start, never got drink orders for 20+ minutes, and kept forgetting our orders. Our steaks were undercooked, and they didn’t even bring out my lobster tail I ordered. You would think for spending $900 we would receive top tier service but it was not. We have eaten at all the nice restaurants in Columbus and have never been treated so poorly. They completely ruined our friends birthday dinner, and at the end, our server unknowingly spilled our friends espresso martini all over her outfit. 10/10 worst spot in Columbus. You can find WAY better service downtown and WAY better food.
