| - I've been hearing good things about Eddie V's, and after tonight, it definitely did not disappoint ! We made a reservation for a party of four to celebrate our friends' anniversary. Upon arrival, we told them that we were interested in the happy hour menu, so they set up another table in their lounge/bar area with no problems. I was glad that we decided to eat in that area, because we were later greeted by the evening's entertainment. I loved the ambience of the restaurant and the live music that Eddie Vs has everyday was the cherry on top of the icing. The food did not fall far from the tree. From the happy hour menu we ordered:
1. Calamari - it was a generous portion. It came with cashews, julienned carrots, rice noodles, and a kung Pao like sauce. The server warned us that the chili peppers within the dish were quite hot. My boyfriend decided to be the tough guy so he tried it regardless. Let's just say the spot on his tongue burned for quite awhile, but he denied the milk they offered. The calamari was flavored really well and was not chewy. The batter, although topped with sauce, still remained quite crunchy. I would definitely recommend this dish!
2. Crab cake - we were told that these were the best crab cakes ever. Although it was good, it lacked a little bit of flavor for me, despite the sauce that it came with.
3. Ahi Tuna tartare - this dish came with sesame rice chips. The cubes of tuna tasted very refreshing and paired well with the avocado and mango pieces.
4. Market oysters - Kumamoto oysters on half shell was quite good. They tasted fresh and came with cocktail sauce, horse radish, lemon, and a house sauce.
5. Batterfried oysters - Gulf oysters dipped in batter and fried to perfection. The sauce that came with the oysters gave them a lot of flavor. The oysters were quite meaty.
6. Lobster tacos - 2 tacos per dish. probably my favorite dish here besides the dessert. I would come back specifically for this dish. Although the tacos were slightly on the smaller side, it was well worth the money. Every bite was evenly dispersed in flavor and the lobster pieces were large enough for me to enjoy the texture.
7. Banana foster butter cake with butter pecan Icecream - the presentation of the dessert was as amazing as the taste. The server lit the rum on fire and drizzled it on top of the butter cake and allowed the fire to burn off the rum leaving a crisp layer on top of the slices of banana and cake. I loved the various textures of the cake. The outside was crisp and crunchy and the inside still remained moist. All together, it was wonderful and I would definitely recommend ordering it to end your meal. Although the butter pecan Icecream was good, I think I would have liked if it were paired with vanilla instead to complement yet not overpower the taste of the banana foster cake.
Can't wait to return again !
