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.

    A Christmas tradition for my family. Always great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Our service from all the staff especially our server Franco made it a great experience.

    The food was absolutely amazing. We started with the Wagyu meatballs and I am a very picky eater but loved them! Salads were all fresh and steaks were cooked to perfection! For Christmas Day the place was buzzing so it was very loud. We were sat near the kitchen where trays of plates were dropped multiple times and it was quite noisy. Our waiter was an older gentleman who only took orders but had helpers do all of the work. I don’t really care for this model and he was not very attentive. Ultimately the food was worth the visit and we will go back.

    Christmas Eve dinner at Eddie’s is a tradition. Unfortunately, this year Service was not good. The restaurant seemed understaffed. It took 30 minutes to get bread and 35 minutes before we got our cocktails. Food was good but my steak was not cooked to my liking. I didn’t send it back due to the slow service.

    We typically do Christmas Eve Dinner here. Our waitress was nice, but I think they were understaffed as she didn’t get back with us a frequently as normal. The steaks were ok, not as good as they have been in the past. The sides were fine. We were seated in the area next to where people enter and head towards the bar…this is not sealed off so people were peering in looking at the diners. Normally EM turns people away on a night like this with no reservations - seemed like they were going to get everyone in vs servicing those of us that made a reservation. At the end when we got our check, no mints like you normally get…again, just not the level of service we are used to getting here.

    Unfortunately the fireplace we sat next to was broken and it was quite cold in the room. Our plates and silverware were chilled. You would think for Christmas Eve you would have repaired it.

    Courtney was our waitress. She was very good. We will request her on our next visit. The food was excellent as usual. The resturant was packed. We both our rewards members and made a reservation several days ahead of time requesting a table in the bar area next to the fireplace. Patron were camping out so we had to sit in the room south of the bar. It was cozy and very quiet. Nice location.
