    This was my first time at any Eddie V’s. We went to the La Jolla location and I was not disappointed! I brought my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday and they had decorations at the table, which I didn’t even ask them to do! They offered us a complementary glass of champagne, and sat us near the windows so we had an amazing view. The food was incredible, from the appetizers to the main course. She was given a free birthday dessert, that they flambéed at the table. Thankyou you to Eddie V’s for creating such a wonderful experience for her and for myself, we will most definitely be back!

    Pleasant and comfortable and consistently good except for the 4% surcharge. I would rather they tack it on the price of food then at the end seems to be frivolous and unnecessary

    Fantastic 7 AM King Tide experience with waves crashing against the windows. The Holiday Brunch Buffet was fantastic. All preparation and presentation far exceeded expectations. Food was most delicious. Service also great! Beef was exceedingly tender. Omelets also great and a super seafood table. The only possible thing as an improvement world be to add a belt style toaster to allow for higher bagel toast capacity. Dessert choices were also fantastic. We could not have been more satisfied. We’ll return for sure. Thank you.

    If you like fresh seafood, this is definitely the place for you!! But it’s not just the seafood that’s great, their salads and soups are amazing too!! My husband had the clam chowder and it was thick and rich- whole clams (not diced up little pieces)….and I had the chicory salad which was a lot more than just chicory….it had dates, blue cheese, persimmons, pumpkinseeds. I was so delicious that I ate the whole thing (but honestly, it’s a shareable portion). I had the macadamia crusted halibut which was perfectly cooked and the sauce was the perfect accompaniment. My husband had the scallops with squid in risotto….also delicious! We will definitely be back and bring friends next time!!

    Phenomenal experience both with service and food. We planned to try the restaurant when it opened, but somehow never had a chance to go. I’m so happy that we have an opportunity to go the other night. Such a fantastic experience. And, hour teenagers also requested to go on our next visit.
