| - I think what's so frustrating about this place is that it could be so great, and yet it's not. It's in a nice neighborhood and has a nice interior. I also liked the choices on the menu. My first time there started off poorly, however.
I arrived around 4:30 and while the restaurant was empty, the bar was full, so I asked the hostess to seat me at a table. She told me I needed to wait for 5 minutes. I thought I needed to wait because she assumed I had other people in my party. I told her it was just me. She looked at me and said, "I know, I need to finish this." She was doing the section layout for the night! Why do I have to wait while she does that? Anyway, she finally sat me outside and I ordered a cocktail. It took 10 minutes to get it. I didn't get the complementary bread basket until 10 minutes after I got the cocktail. The bread was good, but the waiter never asked if I wanted more while I was waiting for my meal (I was starving by that time, after waiting so long).
For my entree, I ordered the "famous" What's in this steak? and for my sides I ordered lobster risotto and the garlic broccoli spears. The steak is interesting; it's a nice filet inside mashed potatoes and then flash-fried. It was delicious and the vegetables on the plate were nice, but very sparse. But the steak was SO small for the price; only 3 oz. for $19.
The lobster risotto was inedible. It was so heavily salted (I'm assuming a ton of salted butter and salt were added--with the cheese and lobster already adding savory flavor, there's no need for the extra salt).
The broccoli was underwhelming. For $8, there was barely anything on the plate and they had no seasoning on them, at all. It would have been nice if they were broccolinis, but they were just boring, old broccoli stalks, sans garlic.
I finished the entire steak, but thought I would take the broccoli home and season them. I didn't touch the risotto after the first bite, but they packaged it up anyway, thinking I was just full. I waited forever and a day for my food to be returned and for my check. When the check finally arrived, I was told that a sever had accidentally thrown out my side of broccoli, so I had to wait another 15 minutes to get a new batch made (when I got home, I realized the new batch had been over-cooked and were total mush).
While I was waiting for the broccoli, I looked at the check. They had taken off the charge for the broccoli, but they tried to charge me (no lie) $19 for the side of lobster risotto. The risotto was the size of my fist and definitely not worth that much; I was outraged! After talking to my server, it was lowered to a much more reasonable price ($9) but I was pretty fed up at that point. I also found it odd that after all of that had happened, and my server knew that it was my first time visiting, he didn't have a manager come to my table. In any case, I won't be returning to Eddie's House again, unless someone else is paying!!
