We came here for a nice steak dinner and overall had an enjoyable experience. It is definitely on the pricey side but the service was good. We started with the crab cakes which were great. They were not dry and very moist. I hadn't had crab cakes in a while so these were a great way to start the meal. We also ordered the spinach artichoke dip with pita chips and it was flavorful and satisfying. For my drink, I had the Berry White martini. It surprisingly tasted like those red, white, and blue popsicles but not in a bad way! I also really loved the complimentary bread they served. It was warm, soft, and hard to stop eating. For my entree, I ordered the Trio of Medallions. The steak itself was cooked well but I only really enjoyed the peppercorn sauce. This one was rich and flavorful. The Oscar-style was a bit too much for my taste and the bacon gorgonzola was too salty. It all overpowered the steak. We also had the garlic roasted mashed potatoes on the side. They were fine but nothing particularly memorable. read more

Great ambience, service and food! Glad there's one in my neighborhood! We came for dinner and it did not disappoint. I love the lobster bisque and my chef's plate. There were 4 of us and each one ordered a different entree and appetizer, and they were all well-presented and flavorful! The cocktails were also really good, i.e., old fashioned, and good selections of wines. The ones we ordered were very good! Will definitely come back either for HHR or dinner. read more

We had a great experience at Eddie Merlot's last night. Nice relaxing environment where they don't rush you (at all)! Our server, Eric D, was wonderful and gave great recommendations. The meal was so well timed - we started with their calamari with 3 dipping sauces - the wasabi aioli was amazing. Calamari was perfectly cooked - no chew!! I had the rack of lamb and my husband had the bourbon ribeye and we both loved our meals. We chose truffle Parmesan fries and tempura green beans for our sides (family style) and felt they were great accompaniments. We will definitely go back! read more

so I wanna add a review of Eddie Merlot's. I've been here a couple times for social events, but the wife and I came here last Friday night, when my daughter was at a friends house. The two of us had a very nice meal. We sat at a high top at adjacent the bar area, and our server was wonderful. She was attentive and informative. The food was outstanding. I would highly recommend this place. If you're in the Loudoun One area, the ambience is very conservative and nice in the Bararea. They have a bunch of TVs where you can see current sporting events and the Restaurant area is white linens and high class. check it out. You may enjoy it. I wish I had pictures, but may add later. read more

My company hosted their 2025 holiday party at Eddie Merlot's. They were packed on a Saturday evening but we were in one of their private dining rooms. Pre-dinner drinks took forever, over 20+ minutes. For appetizers I tried the filet mignon potstickers, too sweet and not enough meat; miniature ahi tuna wontons, edible but nothing special; miniature beef Wellington, nothing special. For our salad course, I opted for the Caesar salad, standard, and SO had the king crab and corn bisque, smooth, touch of sweetness but no crab or corn was to be seen. Would have been nice to have crab and corn on top. I had the 8 oz. filet mignon with a side of mushrooms for my entree. My steak was cooked to perfection, medium rare. A little fattier than what I like but it was seasoned perfectly and the mushrooms were the perfect accompaniment. SO had the 16 oz. ribeye, he thoroughly enjoyed but would have liked A1 Bold and Spicy. He also said his steak was cooked a perfect medium. The table shared mashed potatoes with roasted garlic, just ok; sweet potato casserole, way too sweet; and Brussels sprouts with bacon, good but too charred. For dessert the chocolate cake was preferred over the carrot cake which was dry. The staff was professional, courteous, apologetic for the slow drink service and for me, besides the filet mignon, the highlight of my EM experience. I would not opt to return unless it was for a corporate event. read more

This was my first time going to Eddie Merlot's and I had an enjoyable experience. We were able to get a last minute reservation 2 hours before and the person that we spoke with on the phone was accommodating. When we arrived to the restaurant, our waitress was very attentive and we appreciated all her recommendations and took her up on a few of them. We started out with 2 appetizers, the crab cakes and tuna wontons. My favorite was the wontons, they were delicious. The crab cakes were not worth it for me because it was more stuffing and less crab. For the entree, I chose the Chilean sea bass with a portion of the mash potatoes. The sea bass was amazing. It was so soft and melted in your mouth. I also appreciated the fact that in the area we were seated there was a certain dress code. The decor was also unexpected but it gave the restaurant a nice touch. read more

Our son was visiting us this Xmas week and as he has visited at Eddie before, we decided for Friday's meal to visit. We requested a table and were seated promptly. Cassandra was our server and she gets a 5 star for being attentive, great suggestions and just excellent. Patrick was not around as he usually stops by for me to personally thank Cassandra. Stated with barbecue shrimp (excellent) and crab cakes (ordered 1 extra) for appetizers (excellent) For the main course Cassandra suggested The island Cedar Salmon and it was a superb choice (it's a big fish). My son decided for the first time to Prime NY strip. He has had other choices. Here he was disappointed as he felt it had little to no flavor. We passed on our comments to our server. For dessert we had our usual Vanilla Cognac Brownie. An excellent visit except for the steak. read more

Awesome food, great service. Minus two stars because of the other patrons. Wearing pajamas and slides into a nic(er) restaurant could/should have been stopped at the door - it was not. These individuals were seated next to us, were speaking loudly, and blaring videos on their phones. Nothing was said or done about the disruption. Shout out to our server Marquez who tried super hard despite clearly being overwhelmed. read more

Eddie Merlot's is a classic high end steakhouse, and i have very little to complain about. The food was good, and quick to arrive. Our waitress sarah was kind and fast to offer recommendations. At the time of arrival, at around 4:30, it was very slow. It was nice to see everyone was still cleaning and making ready for the inevitable dinner rush. It was a calm, quiet ambiance with soft music. Some things were under seasoned, some over, but it was hardly enough for me to gripe about. A lovely option for a place to celebrate or just to have a nice dinner and wine. read more

Great menu choice of the 3 medallions! I think one had a blue cheese topping on it which was very interesting but it was still great. Second was Oscar style - mashed potatoes tasted great as well. The seafood bisque was also AMAZING. 10/10 definitely get this if you come here. Old fashion was good but next time I would probably pair with a nice glass of red wine. Server was absolutely fantastic! Classy atmosphere but it does give me a little bit of a Cheesecake Factory vibe. it's a chain restaurant though so that's expected. I would suggest dimming the lights a bit and adding more candles. Overall very great and I would not be opposed to coming back. Menu was on the pricer side but it wasn't terrible. My 3 medallions were about $90. read more

well we went christmas eve for my husband's birthday. they brought out our food and my husbands meal wasn't cooked like he asked we sent it back and our correct meal took about 45 min. to watch these servers and staff navigate the sea of rude customers we encountered was nothing short of a miracle. they worked so hard!!! even though things didn't go as planned at the end of our meal the server informed us the manager took my husbands meal off our bill. i must say with every one being away from their families and it being christmas eve your staff did their absolute best . the sheer amount of entitlement and rudeness we saw from customers was astounding. and ever single member of your staff greeted that rudeness with a smile and enthusiasm. every single staff member working christmas eve 2025 deserves a raise for what they had to deal with! wish i remembered our servers name. she was incredible! thank you for a great meal and i hope every single one of you had a wonderful holiday! read more

My salad obsession spot. The grilled romaine salad sans gorgonzola is a good to; the ranch dressing is crave worthy with its buttermilk creamy goodness. The Tomahawk special is a perfect dinner for 2. The staff there make each visit memorable. Josh makes excellent wine recommendations. Rob goes out of his way to ensure my husband's milk allergy is tended to. Brynn and Lorenzo have cocktails covered. Simon always offers a warm welcome. We love the seasonal menus. Would love to see the bison ribeye brought back but glad the bison filet is still an option. Cheers! read more

My husband took me to Eddie Merlot's for Valentine's Day and overall we had a pretty good time. Our reservation was for 9:45 pm, but given that it was a little bit of a drive for us, we decided to give ourselves a few extra minutes so we left early, arriving approximately around 9:10 pm. We checked in early at the front, letting them know we knew we were really early and that if it was ok we just planned to have a drink at the bar. The hostess checked us in and notified us that all the reservations were running a little late, but that they'd try and get us in as close to our time as possible. We honestly weren't that bothered by it, we were happy to have a drink or two while we waited. I cannot remember the name of the drink I ordered but it was something along the lines of a cherry Moscow mule and it was delicious. It was sweet, tart, light and refreshing, and the ginger beer paired with it was such a great choice. Interestingly, we were actually seated at 9:41, 4 minutes before our reservation, but even if we were seated late, we would've been ok since we were having a great time at the bar and the bartender was a joy to talk to. We were seated in one of the side rooms and shortly after our waiter stopped by to check in and let us know that they would do their best to accommodate us in a timely manner but that reservations have been running late and the kitchen has been a bit behind. We thanked him for his honesty, as he was correct, our food took a little over an hour to come out. Regardless, we enjoyed ourselves and the food we had was delicious. We started with the calamari which was good. It wasn't chewy and over cooked like calamari often is. It came with two delicious dipping sauces, slightly different than your typical marinara like sauce, and we enjoyed them. Everyone kept recommending the marinated ribeye so we just had to give it a try. Of course we both ordered it, which looking back we should've ordered different things so we could try two entrees, but we were pleased. The ribeye was cooked perfectly (I ordered medium), and it had a nice char on the outside. It was very tender and the marinade was great. We also got sides of mashed potatoes, loaded baked potato, and mushrooms. All the sides were also delicious. I especially loved the mushrooms which were nicely sautéed and lightly seasoned, without losing their natural flavor. We ordered the chocolate cake for dessert which we took to go since it was getting late and we had to get home, but this was such an amazingly rich, moist, chocolatey cake. I definitely recommend it if you're a chocolate cake lover like us. They also brought us chocolate covered strawberries which I thought was very kind of them, and were also delicious. I noticed not many people commented on the attire so I wanted to be sure to mention it for others. While this is considered a steakhouse, you will see some people dressed in nice jeans and polo T-shirts, as well as others in suits. Some ladies were wearing nice jeans and casual to dressy tops, while others wore dresses paired with fur coats. My point is, there's a vast array of what you could wear, and I think as long as you aren't wearing clothing that's too revealing or has holes, and isn't sports wear, you should be fine. Overall, we did enjoy our dinner. It was a bit on the pricey end, but at the end of the day, we enjoyed the food and had a great Valentine's Day dinner. It was a bit of a drive for us, but I'm glad we gave it a try and if we lived closer and it were more convenient, we would probably go again. read more

We have gone to their Christmas meal on Christmas Day the last two years. Both times we were blown away by the service. This past Christmas, we were one of the last parties to be seated for our meal.

We hadn't visited Eddy's in a while and I recently arranged for a nice dinner on a Sunday evening. The service was the same as we had remembered besides some new staff but it was still on point. Establishment wasn't very crowded which made for a more intimate atmosphere. The food was impeccable during our experience and great wine to match. Appetizer choice for the made daily Filet Mignon Potstickers were delicious and the Surf n Turf is my go-to. All of our sides paired well. Can't beat a well demonstrated Bananas Foster and I heard the Carrot Cake is also tasty. I'll have to try it next time. But THE "Chocolate Cake" never disappoints...Never. Notice I only posted a picture of the chocolate cake, it's a part of the 4 main food groups for me. read more

The manager called me to discuss my review. I guess they had my number from my reservation? It was an awkward and offpuiting call that didn't make much sense to me. The manager pretty much wanted me to provide a verbal account of my written review, and I felt that I needed to qualify or prove what I had written. Not much of an apology and not much customer service care. After about 10 minutes of this, he offered me a gift certificate to give the restaurant another chance and took down my address to send. It's been a month and I haven't received a gift certificate. The preferred response for me as the customoer would've been to just call me if they chose to and to just apologize and offer me a gift cerrificate if they wanted to and to keep it all brief. Or don't offer a gift certificate at all if you're then not going to send one. read more

I ordered food to go. I ordered a side-sweet potato casserole (which normally is enough for 2 people). What I got was absurd. See pic. This was $18.00. I've always enjoyed my past experiences when I've eaten in the restaurant. The wait staff is usually fantastic. But I won't be wasting money on a take out order after this. Lately I feel like their quality has gone down significantly. It's sad. And I'm not a person who loves large portions. I feel like it's a waste of food. But this wasn't acceptable. read more

My experience at Eddie Merlot's was quite pleasant. The ambiance, the staff and more importantly the food was excellent. I ordered the filet mignon potstickers as an appetizer to start and it was an amazing choice. They had the right crunch, the proportions were on point and was reasonably priced. For a cocktail I ordered the Blackberry Peppercorn Smash. The flavors of bourbon , blackberry, lemon and mint blended well together, I almost ordered another. For my main entree, I ordered a 8 oz filet mignon cooked well, with roasted garlic mash on the side. The filet was juicy and tender, with the mash potatoes being paired made it a perfect meal. I would come back again and try other menu items. The waiter provided a lot of recommendations, so I'm looking forward to it. read more

Honestly surprised by how good the steak was here. I usually don't expect much from casual spots but the sirloin I had was juicy, tender, and perfectly medium rare. It came with garlic butter that melted all over the top and added so much richness. The vibe of the place was super chill with a mix of locals and tourists. Service was a little slow at first but once we got our food, it was smooth sailing. Great value for the quality too. I left full and happy. read more

Wow wow wow! I can't believe it took me nine years to try this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, Patrick greeted us and was so very kind! He thanked us so much for coming in and seated us very quickly! I was under the impression this place was insanely expensive, but it was a total misunderstanding because the prices were not anything crazy AT ALL! We got the best appetizer ever. It was the filet mignon, potstickers! They were so juicy and fresh and tender! Raff did a fantastic job with recommendations, and I ended up with the Wagyu prime rib, which was so incredible and flavorful! My wife and son also truly enjoyed their visit. Raff is very attentive to our needs and requests, kind with a nice smile, and so courteous always looking for ways to make our experience even better! We will definitely be back very soon! read more

Solid spot. We came here to take out clients for dinner after a business meeting and had a nice time. We were in the back room, so more secluded from the rest of the restaurant and had a little more love and attention from the staff. Drinks were pretty good! But let's get to the real stuff, food! We shared lots of apps: oysters, calamari, beef carpaccio, poke, and the potstickers. Calamari were delicious, big pieces! The poke could've had more flavor, it was on the weaker side. Definitely recommend the potstickers - it was everyone's favorite!! I ordered the sea bass and so glad I did. So buttery the fish melted in my mouth! The veggies paired with it were perfect. Really nice flavor. Sadly there was no room for dessert for me, but a colleague got the chocolate cake and it came with a fun little show it looked very heavy! He couldn't finish it, but with a glass of milk... yum! Overall, solid spot. read more

Had dinner with a friend on a Sunday evening. Parking was plentiful and the decor inside was lovely and elegant. We were able to easily carry on a conversation without shouting for the few people in the dining room with us. The overall evening was lovely and our server Daniel was terrific. But a few hits and misses with the food/dessert offerings. We started with a bottle of rosé, which was crisp and refreshing for an unseasonably warm day. We received warm bread and soft butter, which oddly was difficult to break apart or chew without difficulty. I'm a huge bread fiend, and I couldn't get through a single piece of it. We ordered the filet mignon potstickers, which were very tasty with the drizzled sauce. For dinner, my friend had the sea bass over julienned vegetables (see pic). It was a sizeable piece of fish, and she said she enjoyed it. I had the 6oz filet mignon with Bernaise sauce (see pic). The filet was very small, esp for the price, but it was admittedly the smallest of the three sizes offered. I asked for it medium, and it came out more like a well done with a mere streak of pink. It was well seasoned and seared. The Bernaise was a bit of the lukewarm and goopy side, but tasted fine. For sides (which are family style), we ordered Eddie's potatoes, which were their version of au gratin, and sautéed brussel sprouts (see pics). The potatoes were okay, nothing to write home about. The Brussel sprouts, however, had a detectable fish taste for some reason. I wondered if it was cooked in the same pan as my friend's sea bass!? For dessert, we ordered 30-year port for two and it was absolutely delicious. I could have gone for a second glass had it not been so expensive. I'm still thinking about that port a day later, it was scrumptious! To go with the port, my friend ordered the Triple Chocolate Cake for us to share, which was HUGE (see pic), but sadly it was dry and tasteless. We each had a bite and left the remaining. We weren't asked if we liked it or why we left the huge piece barely touched. My friend placed a small order to-go, and that came out as we were wrapping up so it was nice and warm to take home. And Daniel asked if we wanted to wrap any items from our meal and dessert to take home. We finished about 9pm, and we were one of the last tables remaining on a Sunday night. So, like I said, some hits and some misses. For the expensive price point, I would have expected far more delicious standouts. Service and decor is lovely for a celebratory dinner, but I hope they improve a bit with their menu or the kitchen execution of the menu. read more

I even made room for dessert which was a luscious carrot cake. Everything was delicious!!! Service was A+++ Plus. Highly recommend! read more
