   I'm not sure what Eden wants to be. Is it a club? A restaurant that serves American fare, or sushi? They have two menus. Because of this, our party of five did not opt to select anything from the sushi menu because without 100% dedication and mastery of seafood, bad things can happen. Two of us ordered the beet salads, which were good, yet the side of shrimp - that came with this salad - was extremely salty. Another person ordered a Greek salad with a side of chicken, and the kitchen missed and sent shrimp, yet nicely recovered with the grilled chicken. Two of us ordered the burgers, which are served a-la carte at Eden. Those of us who got the burgers then asked for a side of the carrots and caesar salad, respectively. The burgers were fine yet the sides were the size of an entree, and to top it off, they weren't good at all, and it should be noted that our server seemed to infer that they would be served as a side portion size and not as an entree. She really should have steered us to the real sides, so we felt a bit cheated. I ordered the caesar and it was smothered with WAY too much parmesan and the lettuce seemed wilted and damn near expired, coupled with that, the croutons tasted kind of stale. It did not seem like Eden was really trying with these sides. Also, between the appetizer and entree courses, the staff did a poor job of removing plates from our table. When all the entrees arrived, the onus was put on us to make space, and this was very annoying. And while I like some background music to up the tempo and energy of a restaurant, it was super loud when we arrived, which also put us in a bit of a mood because we couldn't hear each other. Someone smart then realized to lower the decibel level because Eden is a restaurant - I think - and not a club. Also, when I went to the men's restroom, it REEKED of an open sewer and it damn near killed my appetite. I cannot say with confidence that I would ever recommend that someone come here. Just too many miscues.

   I’ve heard great reviews and was really looking forward to this reservation. However for Valentine’s Day, the restaurant was overbooked and understaffed. There was one server working 10ish tables on the floor. Didn’t receive drinks until apps were finished, didn’t get to place a food order until 30 minutes after we’d finished our apps. Apps were good (calamari & crispy rice being the best) Entrees missed the mark. We ordered two truffle flatbreads that were described on the menu as being topped with fresh truffle, garlic truffle sauce, onions, crispy potatoes, and chives (none of the toppings were included besides the truffle). Reservation was at 9:30 didn’t wrap up at the restaurant until close to midnight. Server was sweet but overwhelmed.

   We were sitted promptly in the upstairs area. Beautiful space. Too much bright lights and loud music was our first impression. Also, we were the only customers older than 30. Which probably explains the lighting and the loud music. The tuna tartar and the Brussels sprouts were delicious but the Greek Salad was a major disappointment in terms of amount, and taste. It had avant-garde presentation but not good at all. The whipped feta tasted awful. The two sea bass fish dishes were cold. The hamburger was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The bread pudding was absolutely the worst I have ever seen. A blubb of dough. Just terrible. Service was good. It cost us $100 per person. Over priced for that experience. Not coming back anytime soon.

   I have been to Eden before .., happy in the past. Not this time. Their fried calamaries were not as good (used to be delicious ). Liked the beet salad. Branzino was a meh. I guess it’s better to have a Branzino at an Italian restaurant. Did not care for the roasted carrots. Wasn’t happy with the crème brûlée either. The drinks and coffee were fine, They either change the chef or the chef was not having a good day. Too bad.  disappointed.

   When they have an event booked they have you sit downstairs where they make sushi. When there is an event happening upstairs expect to wait a long time for food/drinks since it looks like their staff are focused on the party upstairs. They are not staffed properly. 1 waiter for a whole floor of regular customers.

    My husband and I have been going to Eden for date night about 10 years now and I will say that every single time it has been a wonderful experience! My favorite is the Black Label burger, and it is consistently delicious. I love that the recipe hasn’t changed and it still tastes as it did when I just had it. Staff is friendly and professional. Bartenders make yummy drinks. It’s just a place of great food, music and ambiance. I just love it here! My faves : Black Label Burger Tuna Tartar Truffle fries Shishito peppers
