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!!

Awesome Cod dinner !! Service was “on point “ our Server was there when needed . Perfect service to match an amazing dinner . Although It became very loud , and while sitting close to my friend , we could barely hear one another . ( understood that Ante Prima is popular ! We all love ❤️❤️ your food !!) My only request would be is to make additional adjustments to defer the noise . Noticed the ceiling fixtures to absorb sound . Maybe add a few additional. I / we will return ! Btw : you have a great hostess , who is always gracious and friendly .
