    Eddie V’s in Austin delivers an exceptional dining experience when it comes to food and service. The seafood and steak were perfectly prepared, with rich flavors and high-quality ingredients that truly stood out. The service was equally impressive—attentive, knowledgeable, and efficient, making for a smooth and enjoyable evening. However, the noise level was a major downside. The atmosphere was overwhelmingly loud, making it difficult to carry on a conversation without raising your voice. While the vibrant energy is part of the appeal for some, it was excessive to the point of being a distraction from an otherwise outstanding meal. If you’re looking for top-tier food and service and don’t mind a noisy setting, Eddie V’s is a solid choice. But if a quieter, more intimate dining experience is what you’re after, it may not be the best fit.

    We truly enjoyed our Valentines Prix Fixe with wine paring immensely! Over the top! The wines were special, pulled from the "rarer" parts of the cellar. All 3 courses were creative and excellent. Our waiter, Rhett, was superlative. The experience could not have been better.
