    Eddie V’s once again, does not disappoint! It’s our ‘go-to’ restaurant whenever company is in town, special occasions, private dinners or a weekday happy hour. The food is consistently above par and the servers are some of the best in the business! This year, marked our 2nd year in a row that we celebrated our Thanksgiving dinner at the restaurant. Absolutely delicious! Our server, Olga, was a delight! She was patient with us, very knowledgeable about the menu and food preparation, engaging and made us feel special. Thank you once again for a lovely and memorable evening! OH! The trio bands that Eddie V’s hire are terrific too!
