We had such a lovely anniversary dinner at Eddie V‘s. The service was impeccable. The food was very good although one of my steak medallions was overcooked, the music from the live band in the bar which we were hearing over the speakers was wonderful music. We really think we will go back and have dinner in the bar some evening and listen to the live music.
