| - We came to Eddie V's about a week ago for an early birthday celebration. We were a little early, but we were seated and served bread while we waited for the rest of our party. The birthday boy got a card at his place setting, which was a nice touch. A few tables down, rose petals adorned the table cloth. This place knows how to do special occasions.
We got the oyster appetizer, which was really good. They seemed to be battered and fried, so if anyone is squeamish about the texture of oysters, this is a good baby step. The flavor was great. I ordered the scallops, and there were two different kinds of sea bass and steak at the table as well. I sampled some of each, and it was all quite good, but I think my favorite was the chilean sea bass. Super tender. We had a side of shrimp fried rice for the table that complimented perfectly.
We didn't try any of the wine this time, but they had an impressive list. The iced tea however, was full of flavor and a little fruity.
Bananas Foster was an exciting way to end the meal, with fire literally pouring out onto the cake.
This is a classy restaurant at Scottsdale Quarter, so be prepared to pay for that. But the quality of the food stands up to its price, and the ambiance is great.
