| - Eddie Merlot's is a classic upscale steakhouse with a few unusual twists. The restaurant is huge and extremely attractive, having been completely remodeled after the failure of several predecessors in the space. The menu is pretty much what you'd expect from such a place, but it also includes unusual items such as sinfully high priced steaks and rarely seen classics like Steak Diane. Someone high up in the chain of command apparently has a streak of pyromania, because in addition to the Steak Diane there is at least one other entre and multiple deserts that are prepared with flames at table side. The wine list is good, not great, with prices in the expected range (i.e. high). Service was satisfactory last night, but the restaurant was empty due to the cold weather, so there wasn't much of a challenge. We ordered the Steak Diane for two and shared the special cheesy potatoes and, believe it or not, the creamed corn, which is not the same as your mother served(e.g. jalapeƱos are involved). Continuing the flame theme, we shared the bananas foster for desert. The wine was a decent Malbec. All of the food was excellent. Prices, as you would expect, are at the special occasion level, so our return visits will be well spaced.
