The service was outstanding from the minute we walked in the door! Haven’t had a waiter as professional as Kev in a long time, just the right balance of caring/checking on us and allowing us uninterrupted conversation. The back waiters were equally as competent and I’m sure they had a good teacher. We had a lovely, lovely night! It was our first time dining ant Eddie V’s and we were a table/family of 4. We will absolutely return! . . . and the wedge salad was delicious too!

Enjoyable Sunday evening. Good food, however a bit slow which was surprising given it wasn’t too jammed. Regardless, had a great time.

May be my new #1. Glad I finally tried it. Every dish was fantastic and the service was top notch. The duck was the best duck dish I’ve ever had. The Cacio E Pepe was phenomenal.

Exquisite ocean view from patio. Staff from valet to servers was excellent. The ahi poke nachos were fresh and tasty. All of our sandwich entrees were served hot and were delicious. I especially enjoyed the cheesecake and coffee we ordered for dessert. I highly recommend
