    Great experience with my 7 year old daughter before her Daddy / Daughter dance at school. She enjoyed the dining experience more than the dance! Thanks for superior service.

    We just wanted to take a minute to thank our server and Eddie Merlots Cincinnati for a wonderful date night. We started our evening with the best sour dough bread we've had since moving away from CA and those crab cakes - wonderful! My husband had Eddie's House salad and I had the Classic Wedge salad - both were fresh with quality ingredients and perfect portions. For our Entrées, I chose the lemon dijon chicken - cooked to perfection and - wow! that crispy skin! Our server Joseph B and the chef were kind enough to allow me to sub the Parmesan Truffle Fries for the mashed potatoes and the fries were out-of-this-world amazing!! The grilled asparagus a delicious compliment to the meal. My husband had the 12 oz Prime NY Strip steak and said it was the best he's ever had. He is a steak man and we've enjoyed steaks at Ruth's Chris , Jeff Ruby's, and Capitol Grille and for him to say it was the best he's had is the highest compliment he could give. (He enjoyed the small leftover piece this morning with his breakfast and was still raving over how good it was!) Just when we thought the meal could not be better, Joseph kindly referred us to the carrot cake, since we were celebrating a belated Valentine's Date. We were so full we couldn't eat it right then, but we did share it (with more to still be enjoyed soon!) later that evening - and wow, the best carrot cake out there! (Cheesecake Factory's carrot cake used to be our favorite splurge - they were just moved to second place.) Everything beyond the food, from the greeters/hostesses at the front door to Joseph B's fabulous service (seriously one of the best server's we've had!) and the visit by the manager just made our visit truly special. Thank you so much for a perfect date night - we look forward to visiting Eddie Merlot's again and sharing our "find" with our steak loving friends.

    Wonderful Server Trelaine. Very disappointed with the bar menus, they are getting smaller and inconsistent with portions.

    Hunter gave us excellent service. One steak slightly over cooked, one a little chewy, flavor was good. Sides and creme brulee were really good. Colossal shrimp are not colossal anymore, but still very good. We would go back.
