    Excellent food. As it was Valentine's day it was quite crowded and while the wait staff was excellent, the wait between courses was exceptionally long no doubt due to how busy they were. Fortunately it was worth the wait as each course was delicious.

    My daughter loved her 18th birthday celebration at Eden’s and our guests commented on how delicious the food was. The server and I went over all of the the details and everything went very smooth. The ambience was exactly what my daughter had asked for which was a fun place that played music and was pretty to take pictures. I also liked that it has a lounge feel to it but is safe to take kids as well. The DJ kept announcing my daughter and played a birthday song while the servers surrounded her with sparklers. We couldn’t have asked for a better birthday! We will definitely be back. Thank you Eden’s, you surpassed any expectations!
