| - I rarely bother to write a review unless the place is a 5 star (in my opinion), but I have to make an exception in the case of Eddie Vs, because of the prices. We went there to celebrate one of my "milestone" birthdays. The table was fine, the service was "ok", but you needed a flashlight to read the menu...literally. My wife had the lobster/crab bisque, but it had little flavor and the meat was rubbery. She didn't eat half of it, and told the waiter, who apologized, but I don't think the bill was adjusted. My oysters on the half shell were delicious. the wife had Chilean sea bass "Hong Kong style" and said it was delicious. I had a filet, which was not one of the best I've ever had, despite being listed as "prime" cut. We split an order of grilled asparagus and an order of lobster/crab fried rice. The rice was delicious and the hit of the evening. The asparagus was tasteless and hard. Hint to chefs everywhere...PEEL the asparagus to remove the tough skin! One small glass of wine was $15, and it was perhaps a six ounce pour, if that. The blackberry cobbler was tasteless, but the ice cream was OK. In short, for a meal that was over $170, including the tip, this was so not worth it. Mastro's was far better, IMO. Definitely not deserving of the 4.5 stars that it shows.
