    Nice evening after a theatrical performance. We were promptly seated after arriving (with reservations). Andi (Andrea) our server was pleasant, pleasant, helpful, and attentive. The food was served on cue, our drinks were excellent and the cognac brownie ended the evening with a little fire show. Would return and ask for Andi again.

    My wife and I were cheerfully greeted as we walked in the door and escorted to our table. The restaurant is always nicely decorated for the season and it showed very well during the lunch hour. Our server Shane was engaging and new the menu top to bottom. After we started with the "colossal" Shrimp Cocktail (and the shrimp were very large) we ordered lunch portions of the Mixed Grill and a new Chicken Chopped Salad which were exceptionally well prepared. This was a truly celebratory lunch for the Christmas holiday. We appreciate Eddie Merlots for making it a special day for us.

    We were getting together to celebrate our friendships before the holidays. The food was good. Our waiter was fabulous. He was very attentive throughout and fixed Bananas Foster at our table. Very nice evening. We will be back.

    Pros: Food was very good; Our shrimp appetizer was good. It needed just about 30 seconds more to cook (sweet & spicy shrimp) ...but the flavor was still on point. My wife enjoyed the warm bread, her drink was good as well. The mashed potatoes were very good and my sea bass was excellent. Cons: The service was slow...oh so slow. It took 20 minutes to get our 1 appetizer. Then we waited almost 30 minutes to get our 2 entrees'. Our server was cordial and friendly...but slow. I was lucky enough to have the manager (Hal) pick up my credit card to pay the bill...otherwise I would have been waiting again for that. The service definitely does not match the food quality. I spent $190 bucks for dinner for two (with tip). I probably would not come back based on this 1st time experience.

    We used to love Eddie 's. However, since it changed hands, things are very different. Our favorite female server left to go to Ruth's after the sale after being an employee 14 years. Wonder what happened? Dinner Friday night was so-so. My bisque was good but the shrimp cocktail was ordinary. It used to come in a cloud of ice and was quite a spectacle. Not now. Another in the party had bisque, Caesar salad and crab cakes. All good. The other guest ordered the meat and sausage dish with mashed potatoes. It came out barely warm after waiting about 45 minutes for dinner. The manager did come over and apologize and offered dessert. That was nice. She said the sundae came with hot fudge but it was Hershey's syrup. Something has definitely happened. Not how it used to be.

    Lifelong Indy resident saving this one for a special event. Sorry but disappointed. Inferior to the competition, and over priced.

    Had an 8pm reservation and the restaurant closed at 10pm. The place was moderately occupied at best. Service was extremely slow as it was 9:30pm by the time we received the main course. We noticed that our server was more concerned with her closing duties than tending to her last two tables. Was there for a birthday dinner which was ruined, we won’t be back.
