| - I thought Eddie's House was just ok in all facets. Our server was really nice, but she forgot about all of our sides. We were all mostly finished with our meals before they came out. My meal was just plain weird. I appreciate the chef's creativity, but what I ordered simply didn't work. It was the ginger/sesame ahi tuni with artichokes, feta (basically all mediterrean flavors) over thin spagetti. I love all of these ingredients - and even love them together, but the big hunk of ahi should've been sliced (it was hard to carve through) and the pasta was overcooked, which I think is a rookie mistake. It all kind mushed together into a pretty unpleasant plate. My colleague ordered one of Eddie's signature dishes, the "what's in the steak" steak. Since this client was a new friend, I didn't ask to try his food, but he said that he enjoyed it. Basically, its a filet mignon encased in a big ball of mashed potatoes and then deep fried. OMG. When it came out it was about as big as my head. Other's had assorted fish dishes and the lamb, which they seemed to like. The sides were grilled sparagus with balsamic, which was yummy, but not very creative or innovative, sugar snap peas (which never made it to the table) and the procuitto mac n cheese. The mac and cheese was good, but not nearly as good as other mac n cheese dishes I've had. Like I said, Eddie seems to have a very cool culinary mind, but execution wise wasn't as good as it could've been.
