    My grandson and I had a great dinner on Saturday night. We had a reservation for 6:30 pm and we were seated after a short wait. Boy, did it get busy after that! It seems like Saturday night had a number of couples celebrating Valentine’s Day a day late. Great food, great service (in a very busy restaurant), a good live band and good vibes all night long.

    Eddie V’s made our Valentine’s Day truly unforgettable, thanks to our exceptional server, Elijah. From the moment we sat down, he provided top-tier service with warmth and attentiveness. When there was a small mix-up with our shellfish tower, he handled it seamlessly and made sure we had everything we needed. He also went out of his way to make great recommendations, helping us decide between the asparagus and carrots. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the evening feel extra special. Beyond the amazing service, the food was absolutely phenomenal—fresh seafood, perfectly cooked steaks, and incredible flavors all around. The ambiance was elegant and perfect for a special occasion. We will absolutely be returning and hope to have Elijah as our server again!
