    The only reason I don’t dine at Eddie Merlot’s more often is because it is always a 2.5 hour event - even if we only order an appetizer and salad. I also didn’t like how the server asked if we preferred still or sparkling water and we all requested still. Being charged for 2 bottles of water was just petty. Tap water wasn’t offered and that was what we all obviously assumed was “still”. Very tacky.

    We dine at Eddie Merlots two to three times a year and are never disappointed. Every aspect of the experience is exceptional. The fillet was done perfectly. The sides were generous enough to share among the four of us. The slice of carrot cake was huge and the best we have ever eaten, moist and flavorful. Our server, Misty, was very attentive and pleasant. This was a special occasion and one of the staff members was kind enough to take our photo.
