We visited Eddie V's last Saturday for my birthday dinner and were really looking forward to a great evening, unfortunately that did not happen. We started with a dozen oysters which were so poorly shucked we sent them back. Only one oyster out of a dozen looked like the shucker knew what he was doing. They were torn to shreds. Simply pitiful. The waitress handled the situation by stating that the normal shucker was out today and the guy doing the oysters was not as good. Oh really? We then waited for an hour to receive our meal. All the waitress could do was to awkwardly engage us in uncomfortable conversation and keep offering us bread. The meal was good, no complaints there. We ordered a bottle of wine and the waitress decided to up-sell me to a more expensive bottle. No problem, I like suggestions, but the 2013 bottle that was suggested from the menu turned out to be a 2014. Nice trick that I did not appreciate. The waitress knew we were a bit frustrated but she just really did nothing at all to improve our experience No manager checked in with us to see if we were OK. She did offer us dessert and the Bananas Foster on Butter cake was very good. All in all we were disappointed and will probably stick with Steak 44 for our next celebration meal.
