| - We were big fans of Eddie's when he had his restaurant on 24th and Camelback. We could NEVER get enough of his Mo' Rockin' Edamame, so when we went to dinner there last week, we were SO excited to see the Edamame on the menu!
However, Eddie has changed the spices and what used to be such a subtle use of spices has turned into something that hits you over the head and leaves a taste in your mouth of just a heavy handed use of spices.
Another one of our favorites are the mint pesto lambchops on the appetizer menu. Again, we were disappointed in this dish as the chops were fatty and not of the same quality as the 'old' Eddie. The chops come with an advertised cumin hummus which we could not taste even a hint of cumin, but a great deal of mint! I'm okay with mint hummus, if it's advertised as mint hummus, not cumin hummus.
I had the grilled steak salad and felt the presentation was appropriate and the portion large, The salad dressing was great, however, the grilled steak was quite fatty and not what I would expect at the 'old' Eddie's.
Eddie's wine list needs work. For true wine lovers, there was a wide selection of Old and New World wines, however, not the most appropriate choices to match the dinner selections.
Overall, I miss the 'old' Eddies. I thought the food was much better and had much more the feeling of being home cooked by this great chef. We will think long and hard before giving this place a try anytime soon.
