Soooo, saddest little story about Eddie V's. A coworker and I had gotten into habit of going to Eddie V's after work for cocktails and food(cocaine would have been cheaper) and I love it there. We had a pretty consistent order of oysters, tar tare and calamari. Well, we get oysters one night and the second set of them (we got 2 of 3 different kinds) turn out to be the best oysters I have ever had. Unfortunately, the waitress had never told us which were which and we had eaten them too fast to try and figure it out. Gosh. One of life's great mysteries!
Anyways, the appetizers are wonderful, truly! The prices are high but so is the quality. We do not live in a town where oysters should taste great but I order them anytime they are on a menu and I have to say Eddie V's is the best place to get fresh, unique oysters! The drinks are also wonderful, the staff is attentive and it has a really great classic but well-kempt upscale steakhouse vibe. There is nothing stale about this restaurant!
