Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in University City/Golden Triangle

My dear friend and I always meet at your restaurant to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. We have never failed to enjoy the service - from the minute we walk in the door, through our hostess and server, as well as the delicious food. Thanks for being consistently great!

We enjoyed a fun dinner at Duke’s. Great service, beautiful view. Hula Pie never dissapoints.

Chose Eddie V's for our Wedding Anniversary dinner and could not have been happier with the outcome. The staff at Eddie V's, from the hosts to the waiter staff, were very positive and accomodating. First off, the presentation was exceptional, they had a hand written card wishing us a Happy Anniversary with rose petals waiting for us at our table. Our waiter (wish I had his name as he was excellent) brought us a couple of glasses of champagne to toast with at the beginning. Our waiter was exceptional. He made good recommendations, was not pushy in any way, and made us feel well taken care of. We ordered a Filet Mignon and their signature Sea Bass, with brussell sprouts side, all were excellent. The steak was cooked exactly to our liking and the sea bass was flaky and moist in a tasty sauce. The brought us a complimentary desert with ice cream, cookies, and a banana flambe. Such a nice touch. We are very picky about where we go out for dinner, as my wife is an exceptional cook, and Eddie V's exceeded our expectations. We will be coming back to celebrate with them again.

The Marine Room is a culinary gem! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with an unparalleled view of the ocean that sets the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable dining experience. The seafood here is absolutely top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend trying their Glazed Swordfish. It’s clear that the chefs take immense pride in their craft. The service was equally impeccable. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself to an elevated meal, The Marine Room is the place to go. It’s not just a dinner; it’s an experience. I can’t wait to return!

Delicious food beautifully presented. I had the shrimp and scallops with risotto special. There were many specials so don’t judge by the regular menu. Service was a tad slow - kitchen issue I think - but it was worth the wait.
