| - Eddie V's. It's like getting a present from someone. It's beautifully wrapped, nice bow, and comes with all the glitter..... but when you open the gift, it's just a sweater. The sense of expectation of something great, but just fails to deliver.......
So we descended on a Friday night, celebrating my brother in laws birthday. We made a reservation at 5:30 on a Friday night and were seated promptly. We were seated at booth which barely accommodated the 4 of us, considering we had some big men in the group. The restaurant is nice, beautifully decorated and lovely ambiance.
Service-The service was great, probably one of the highlights of the night. Our waiter was excellent and "almost" top notch.
Food-So this is where the big letdown is. The "sweater" that you get from a friend. We ordered some oysters for appetizer. The oysters were very small and were semi frozen. Not impressive for 24 bucks. For our entrée we ordered the ribeye, 8 oz. filet with lobster tail, 12 oz. filet, and I ordered a 1 1/2 of crab legs. I'm not going to review my patrons meals, but mine was not impressive. So here's the deal you pay 28.00 for 1/2 lb., you can get a full pound at Costco for 21.00. The only thing nice is they split them. Please read my review for Dominick's. You get a whole cluster of king crab for nearly the same price! We split couple of sides. The brussell sprouts were cooked nicely and it was a solid dish, but the lobster mashed potatoes were a joke. If you want good lobster mashed potatoes, please go to Mastro's ocean club, you'll see how it's done. I should of picked up on the red flag when I noticed on the menu, it was only 18.00 bucks. How is lobster mashed potatoes 18.00 and brussell sprouts 10.00? Here's how........ there was barely any lobster and only meat was couple of chunks of claw meat. Not very impressed.
In conclusion, considering they say they have PRIME SEAFOOD, I found the quality to be very underwhelming. I can't say I was impressed with any of the seafood from the oysters, lobster, and king crab. You can pretty much go to Whole Foods and you'll probably get just as good if not better quality seafood from them. From the food aside, the experience and service was still very pleasant. As mentioned before the service was outstanding from drinks being refilled, bringing us more bread, clearing out dishes, and just an overall positive attitude from the staff. As I said earlier "almost" top notch. Well after the meal and ordering couple of desserts to share, our waiter finally asked if we were celebrating anything? We said "Yes, it's his birthday!" You would figure you would lead off that question from the beginning of the meal and not at the end. So no complementary cake for us. We split the bananas foster and Godiva chocolate cake. It was ok, nothing special.
So overall pretty good dining experience, but just like the sweater....nothing special! Go to Dominick's around the corner or head to Mastro's Ocean Club for a much better present!!!
