    Valentine dinner. But the staff was upbeat and the food hot, fresh and delicious. Out server Zooey was attentive and welcoming without hovering. We have eaten at all the restaurants in the group. We found our favorite.

    The experience at Eden is always exceptional and they have a team of professional staff that has been here for some time. They know their clientele and serve them well. We knew Valentines Day would be busy, but service was attentive and the food delicious except for the woody asparagus that was served with the chateaubriand for 2. It was difficult to bite through. We had our server alert the kitchen.
