Quality, exceptional service, and an unparalleled atmosphere have made Eddie Merlot's one of America's great steak houses over the past 20 years. Eddie Merlot's is an homage to the man and his love of a great steak, a great glass of wine, and a good story.

We pride ourselves on our prime-aged beef and scratch kitchen. Our chef selects each steak for the optimum proportion of marbling and texture before hand-cutting and seasoning the steaks to your specifications. From sauces to desserts, we develop recipes to create a truly unique experience for our guests. And, while you enjoy your meal, you'll be treated to the one-of-a-kind service we call the "W.O.W. Factor."

We welcome you to Eddie Merlot's—we want you, our guest, to have nothing but the best, which is why we go to such lengths to serve you the exceptional prime-aged steaks upon which our restaurant has built its reputation.

Our reservation is at 7. We went there at 6:30 (it's better to be early than late, and so that they can prepare the table and have us seated on time.) but the front desk told us to wait til 7. So we waited til 7. When we went to the front desk again to ask if the table's ready, she told us to wait for a couple minutes. We waited patiently cuz we know how busy it gets esp on holidays. We finally got to our tables around like 7:30ish, we ordered after 10 mins. But had to wait 2h for our food to arrive, plus they didnt serve my oysters cuz they said there was an error! lool! It wasnt the best experience. The servers were great! but the kitchen was chaotic and most probably unorganized. Some tables who came in late than us were served 1st. The lighting was too dark. Not instagrammable. 30 mins wait of food is okay, but 2h is a no no. We expected the service to be great cuz it's an expensive restaurant. Buuut... 🤷🏻‍♀️

A beautiful Sunday dinner with a perfect view. Erin, our server, was amazing!! All of the staff we encountered were very polite. Many complimented our family and were very sweet to our two young daughters. This was not our first time here, and it won't be our last.

We have an annual get together at Christmas every year at Eddie Merlot's. We sit in the bar area and look at the holiday tree. We told our server we were there for a leisurely dinner and he honored that. He didn't rush us at all and coursed our dinner as such. He made great recommendations and helped convinced me to trg the elk chop. It was fantastic. Everything was great until the end when we were told that parking was no longer validated. That had been in place since the restaurant opened and has been a differentiator from other steakhouses. That was disappointing.

Last visit, I waited 2+ hours for lunch! And it wasn’t crowded! I want to love this place but I can’t…. I am here a lot because it is convenient to my office. But enuf is enuf. There is an inconsistency of quality from meal to meal; sometimes the salad has blue cheese, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes I get avocado sometimes I do not. The crab bisque is now lumpy and the ocean Cobb claims to have lobster, but it’s been absent the 20xs I’ve ordered the salad. The ambiance is tired, menu uninspired. That’s forgivable if you mind your Ps and Qs in the food. But alas, that isn’t happening and it’s time for find a new lunch spot.

We were there for almost 3 hrs, took much longer than normal past visits at restaurant. It took over an hour to get nonalcoholic beverages to table of 4. I got my Prosecco after an hour of wait but my other guests did not get ice tea and coke until asked other server to please help.
