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.

    For a business meeting on a cold Tuesday evening, Eddie Merlot is the perfect spot. We could hear each other talk, the servers were magnificent, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the crab and corn bisque and the crab cakes. My business partner ordered the filet medium well with a baked potato. Perfect meal for each of us. We have to return to try more items on the menu.

    This place is a gem in a big city. Server Makayla was phenomenal, very attentive and wanted to make it a great experience. I dine out often and this is my favorite Eddie Merlot’s ever. The menu rotates and so every time we come into town there is something new to try. It’s quiet and not overly busy.

    Not their best effort. At this price point I don't expect to have multiple dirty dishes being left on the table between courses. My wife's dinner was simply bland and the mashed potatoes were not hot nor appealing. Considering the small number of those dining that evening, none of this was acceptable. I'll give them one more shot and if it is close to this level again it will be my last veisit there.

    Went to Eddie Merlot's for our 46th Anniversary. We had a great time. There was an anniversary card on our table when we arrived. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pace was relaxed. The salmon was delicious. The brussel sprouts were very good. The Triple chocolate cake was also great. We will be back.

    Made a reservation here for my 24th birthday. Everything about my experience was wonderful. Our waitress was so nice and made the experience great. Our food and drinks were amazing! The ambiance was nice. Wasn’t too noisy and the decor is beautiful. We will definitely be back again sometime in the near future!

    We had a fantastic experience at Eddie Merlot's last night! To be honest, a lot of that was due to our server Evelyn. She was spectacular and made us feel like family. We will be back and we will be requesting her area.
