It is so hard to find an upscale, quiet and consistent restaurant in the Southbay. Eddie V's is it. The staff is attentive, friendly, and make you feel very special. The background music is perfect allowing you to hear each other at tables of 4 or 6. It is our number 1 place to go for special occasions or when we want to treat ourselves. We have been to several Michelin star restaurants and I prefer Eddie V to any of them.
