Eddie V’s exceeded all of our expectations and provided an unforgettable dining experience for our entire family. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, especially paying extra attention to our two young daughters. They truly treated us like VIPs! The service was impeccable—our server was attentive, warm, and incredibly accommodating. They made thoughtful recommendations and even brought special treats and small surprises to delight our daughters, which made them feel so special. It’s rare to find a fine dining restaurant that is so family-friendly while maintaining such an elegant atmosphere. As for the food—absolutely incredible! Every dish was perfection. The seafood was fresh and flavorful, the steaks were cooked to perfection, and the sides were unique and delicious. Our daughters couldn’t stop raving about their meals, and the staff even brought out a beautifully presented dessert for them that made their night. Eddie V’s truly made us feel cared for and created a dining experience that we will remember for a long time. This is the kind of place where both the food and service shine, and they clearly go the extra mile to make every guest feel special. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful food. Great selection. Outstanding service. It was noisy so don’t expect a quiet candlelight dinner. And expect to pay. But you get what you pay for.
