| - Another date night with the Hubs, but this time he thought to try somewhere new I've been wanting to go- so he picked up a localdines coupon and we headed to Eddies House. First off, I did like the decor, but the tables were somewhat close together, so this didn't provide much privacy for date night conversation... but alas, we were here for food...
I left Eddies House somewhat confused and very underwhelmed. After such great reviews, I'm not sure why our experience was so much different. Maybe it was our waiters complete apathy for showing any kind of friendliness or excitement for what he is doing. Or maybe it was simply the food itself. We shared the shrimp appetizer, which was fine... maybe a bit too spicy for me and the dough balls had NO flavor and were hard as a rock. I ordered the meatloaf, as many people on yelp raved about it - I did think it was good, but nothing I would rave about. The Hubs had the sea bass and liked the lemon addition, but that was about it. After trying his I really felt it was way too salty and nothing too special. The half portions are really small, so beware. They were a good size for me, but the Hubs was left hungry after his. We got dessert, even though nothing really sounded great - had the cookie tiramisu, which was nice for an ice cream dessert (which I wasn't expecting it to be), but nothing special or memorable.
I found it interesting that Eddie, the owner, said hello to every table but ours, as I was watching to see if he would. Maybe he just personally knew all those people, but either way I felt a little left out. So, in my opinion Eddies house was ok, but not a place, based on our experience, I will be going back to anytime soon.
