We had a great time! The food choices were not great. The restaurant wasn’t packed at all, but yet the servers made it abundantly clear that you only had 90 minutes to eat and get out. There weee a bunch of open tables yet they held to that policy. Big mistake if you as me

Wonderful food and service! All of our appetizers were excellent but the tuna tartar tostada is truly exceptional. The Ceaser salad is great but be sure to mix in the dressing that sits at the bottom of the bowl. Salmon and chicken are outstanding. My filet was slightly over cooked but the sauce and the green beans were delish. Highly recommend this place!

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!!
