    This was our first trip back since this restaurant changed from Wildfish to Eddie V's. Its been years! Our meal was outstanding, the sea bass cooked to perfection...moist, flakey...and smothered in lumps of crab meat and a delishous butter sauce served over asparagus spears. The Caesar salad was also very good, with crispy roumaine, a generous portion of parmesan shavings, baked croutons and Italian olive tampenade. I also have to note the bread was delicious and FREE! Our server was lovely, personable and attentive. My only complaint was she didn't leave my shaker ice at the table as requested, but that's not a huge deal. As far as ambiance goes, we found the decor warm and inviting. In the future, I'll request seating in the far side of the restaurant where the many TV screens at the bar aren't so visible. Sorry, but I don't think ANY TV's belong in a fine dining restaurant...just sayin'. Prices were on the high side for fine dining, but well worth our experience.
