Best restaurants near me in Northside, PA

Visited for Christmas Eve dinner as a party of 6. IT WAS PACKED. Like I’ve never seen it. But guess what? Despite a short wait past our reservation time (15 min? 20? completely reasonable for a full house on a holiday) our experience was the same as if it was a slow night. Our servers were personable and thorough, the meal was nicely paced, and every course was served at the right temperature and with lovely presentation. Only disappointment was the tomahawk cut that my husband ordered being sold out… bummer, he was really excited for that entree and had to pivot to a ribeye. Hats off to CG for really solid execution on what has to be one of the most hectic nights of the year there. If you’re looking for a lively Christmas Eve in the city, I can’t fathom anywhere else was THIS busy and also so on pointe.

The Winter Salad has a perfect balancr of flavors and textures. Highly recommend. The Ricotta Cavelltrlli also had just the balance of lightness and heaviness, richness and savory vegetables. Husband had perfectly cooked strip steak.

Husband wanted Surf and Turf and reviews said this is the place to go. Just inside the city which was easy to get to - had valet for $12 which was a bonus to not have to worry about parking. The building itself is spectacular housing several high end restaurants. Eddie V's had non crowding tables and booths, live entertainment, the service was exemplary and the food even more enticing. Everything came out timely, cooked to perfection and warm. They even accommodated the gluten free portion of party by immediately handing them a special menu without having to ask and serving veggies and dip when the gluten rich bread was being served to others. I only deleted one star from the ambience because the restaurant itself did not have any kind of a view of the water but then again we were looking for a great meal and this restaurant did not disappoint. Would definitely visit again.

Had a great dinner with friends. They still give a complimentary glass of bubbly at the start, which is very festive and welcome. The cocktails were very reasonably priced and creative. We started with the pate appetizer, which was served with fresh hot bread and was excellant. The main courses were also delicious. We got all got a different dish and each was well thought out and very good! Hadn’t been here in a while and really enjoyed the evening!

Delicious food and superb service. A little loud and tight for my taste, but it is one of my favorites. So glad it’s on the Northside.
