| - I hate to say this, but after my experience at Eddie V's last night, I think they've gone down hill... There was a lot of miscommunication - here's why:
Upon walking in, we were pleased to see that they still offer all night happy hour on Sundays and Mondays. (Their happy hour = 1/2 off most appetizers and I believe drink specials too). The hostess asked us for our name and we responded that we didn't have a reservation; that we were just going to eat and drink in the bar area. She was not the friendliest, and just nodded. Side note - no reservation was needed as the restaurant was not busy!
So, we sat in the bar area and when the waiter came to take our order (we were a group of 4), we placed several appetizer orders right off the bat and said that would be good to start and we'd add more to the order in a bit. We also ordered drinks. I specifically ordered my new favorite 'black cherry effen vodka with soda.'
So when the waiter came back with the news that they were out of black cherry effen and didn't carry it anymore, I was a little disappointed. No big deal though, I went with the 3 Olives Cherry Vodka instead WITH SODA.
Waiter comes back with the drinks and mine looks like cherry coke. I taste it and sure enough. he's given me a cherry vodka with diet coke - no clue where that came from, but he took it back and brought me (finally) what I ordered. In the meantime. he came over and asked if we were ready to order... When we asked if the first round would be out soon, he said he didn't put it in yet as he did not think we were serious when we put the first round in. Ugh - not funny when you're with 2 very hungry men :)
We ended up ordering more and were all hungry for the first round of scallops, ahi tuna, mixed green/pear/goat cheese salad, corn and crab chowder. and crab cake. In the meantime, we were given bread and butter, but alas, no silverware, app plates, or napkins... no big deal - we got those within a couple of minutes.
We were so happy with the first round. (except for the soup which we all agreed tasted like water and potatoes so we sent it back) that we decided to order more... another scallops. another ahi tuna, a tuna tartare, broiled oysters with a spinach and artichoke fondue, and a steak. This time, it took an extremely long time for our food to arrive and when it did, the scallops were presented totally different and the ahi was overcooked. Also, the waiter thought we ordered raw oysters and not the broiled ones...
At that point, we were done - no need to attempt to correct the order. The soup and ahi were removed from the bill (as they should've been - we did send them back).
I have to say, aside from the company, this meal was just mediocre. I've had great meals at Eddie V's in the past, and hopefully this was just an 'off' evening, but I will not be running back anytime in the near future!
Sorry, Eddie V - only 3 stars this time...our meal was a comedy of errors and even with happy hour all night, not worth the $$!
