Our experience was amazing. Our waitress was so accommodating to our two young children and made them feel so special. The food was great as well. We loved everything we ate. Definitely will plan on coming back the next time we are in town.

We’ve passed through Eden on multiple occasions, noticed it when taking my Lab to MedVet & Eye Care for Animals. Staffers remembered our Anniversary (week) celebration (I forgot the note on the reservation 😛). We didn’t anticipate the complimentary beverage. Most establishments don’t offer anything these days, we really appreciated the gesture. Drinks are strong, I went w/ Manhattan, wifey w/ Hot Toddy. Food was great. I opted for Burger w/ Fries, wifey ate Duck Banh Mi w/ Eden Salad. I’m not a big fan of Kale but the side Salad was amazing!!

For once, I could enjoy lunch with a friend in a quiet room. My BLT was excellent. Service as one would hope, not intrusive but responsive.
