My wife and I went to Eddie V's last night for our anniversary. When we arrived they had made a special table for us with rose petals a nice card. This was a great touch. I was disappointed that the hostess had seated families with babies next to us in the dining room. Our server was very attentive. His name was Rick and he gave us great service all night. Overall the food was just marginal. Nothing really blew us away. The common theme was that everything seemed under seasoned. The crab cake appetizer was very good. It had large chunks of crab and not a lot of filler. I ordered the BLT salad as my second course. Please note that the salad comes as an iceberg wedge. You have to cut it up and make it yourself. I have never liked the whole wedge thing. If I knew it beforehand I would not have ordered it. My wife had the lobster bisque. We both felt that it was under seasoned and it didn't have a lot of lobster. For main courses my wife had the halibut and I had a filet Oscar style. The hollandaise that came with this filet was absolutely fantastic. it was the highlight of the evening and that isn't saying much. Steak and fish were cooked to the right temps, but just didn't have enough seasoning. Just some more salt would have made all the difference. The truffle mac and cheese was no different. It was just pasta with little flavor at all. I couldn't tell what kind of cheese it was never mind taste any truffle.
Service was 5 stars. Rick was a pro.
Ambiance was 3 because of screaming babies in the main dining room. This is unnacceptabe for fine dining.
Food was a 3 at best.
Try Michael Dominick's just down the road. For a little bit more money you'll get twice the value.
