Quality, exceptional service, and an unparalleled atmosphere have made Eddie Merlot's one of America's great steak houses over the past 20 years. Eddie Merlot' s is an homage to the man and his love of a great steak, a great glass of wine, and a good story.
We pride ourselves on our Prime Aged Beef and scratch kitchen. Our chef selects each steak for the optimum proportion of marbling and texture before hand-cutting and seasoning the steaks to your specifications. From sauces to desserts, we develop recipes to create a truly unique experience for our guests. And, while you enjoy your meal, you'll be treated to the one-of-a-kind service we call the "W.O.W. Factor."

We welcome you to Eddie Merlot's—we want you, our guest, to have nothing but the best, which is why we go to such lengths to serve you the exceptional prime-aged steaks upon which our restaurant has built its reputation.

    Their main holiday meal and also their filets were already sold out at 630 pm. For a steak house, it's really bad, and they didn't offer any rebate for something else. Changing a 32oz porterhouse to a 16oz prime rib was the same price

    Had a pleasant Christmas Day luncheon. It was crowded as expected, but the food still came out quickly and hot. 2 of us had the filet mignon and one had the tuna. Everything was very good and the cognac brownie prepared at the table attracted a lot of attention. We would recommend

    I have never had a bad meal since they opened until last night. The food was lukewarm and took forever. My wife had chicken which was dry and described it as chicken jerky. My salmon was dry. Obviously there was a problem in the kitchen and we were not alone in waiting excessively for food. They ran out of bread which is always disappointing. Next year I will have pizza on Christmas Eve. I will definitely return but not on Christmas Eve. Every other visit has been fine. D Brown

    We were seated pretty quickly and liked where we were sat. However, service was incredibly slow. I know it was a busy night but waiting over 90 minutes for even appetizers was a bit much. Even drinks and water refills were slow to be given. Tables around us seated after we were received their meals well before us. We were there for over 3 hours and that was just to eat dinner. We passed on dessert because we just didn’t want to wait anymore. Also, every other table around us, the server packed up the leftovers for them. I was unceremoniously handed a box. And to top it all off, one of our drinks was served with a bug floating in it. The table next to us was comped part of their bill for a mistake on one of the entrees. We were comped nothing. No manager even came by to say hello or at least apologize for the delay or the bug in the drink. After several years of dining here for Christmas Eve, we are done.
