We started my friend's birthday celebration at Eddie V's downtown Austin. We tend to go to Eddie V's at the Arboretum since its closer to our home. The downtown location was close to our next destination. We arrived by 5:30 pm in time to take advantage of some of their Happy Hour menu. We had reservations in the lounge, which is basically bar seating and booth along with other table seating. We ordered steak, lobster bites and lamb chops along with mac-n-cheese and au gratin potatoes. All were nice prepared. We had complementary bread service. The first batch of bread was a bit hard. However, our server, Chris brought at replacement batch of bread hot out the oven expertly prepared. We ordered the chocolate molten cake for the birthday girl and Eddie V's provided their complimentary birthday dessert plate. We also had a martini and mojito to cheer the birthday girl. The mixologist was on point! Great evening...great celebration. read more

If i could give 10 million stars, I would. My friend and I had one of the best dining experiences here we've ever had. Eddie V's was just out of the park service and food. Our sever, forgive me I forgot her name it started with a G and she had an accent, was the epitome of what all servers should strive to be. She was attentive, helpful, friendly, professional, all of the above JUST AMAZING! We dined before a concert and let her know we were in a slight rush and she made sure everything came out coursed but not rushed. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS! The oysters and mignonette, steak sliders, truffle mac but omg that halibut stole the show! Mega hats off to the BOH staff, they killed it in every way. Also, if we were sharing and item the kitchen split and plated it for each us, HOW AMAZING! We couldn't decide between dessert since we were so full and short on time we picked the slightly quicker and smaller option; yet still our AMAZING server, G we'll call her, brought us a MINI bananas foster because she knew how much we wanted to try it but were scared of the portion size. I mean can you EVEN???? we felt SO taken care of by her and all other staff around us. everyone was moving with such grace and precision. I literally could not recommend this place enough!!! (dined march 28th) read more

Last night was my second time in the past year going to Eddie V's for their fantastic happy hour with my friend! It's becoming our after work spot to grab a bite before going to a concert. I've still only gotten the Mini Filet Sandwiches which is center cut filet mignon on toasted brioche buns, Shaft's blue cheese, and onion Jam. I think I even got the same drink last time, the Spicy Margarita with El Jimador Tequila, Patrón Citrónge, fresh lime, jalapeño. It's so good! And the filet minon is $12 and the drink is $10. Even the free bread and butter is amazing sourdough with something added to the butter (maybe cinnamon, I'm not sure). We always just go casual and sit at the bar which is dark and moody but with friendly staff at the place that is typically a fancier dining experience. Go to their website and look at the whole menu for the Happy Hour which is 4p-6:30p every day of the week. read more

Elliot Cerda made my night. He was attentive and a great bartender making everyone around him feel comfortable.

Came for a private event that had a pre fixe menu. The restaurant was great and looked like a very nice steak house. Service was top notch as they brought out food very timely and kept the wine flowing. Highlight of the night were definitely the cheesy potatoes and the filet. Awesome place to have a nice steak. read more

It's been a little while since my visit, but Eddie V's definitely left a great impression. We went for dinner and tried a little bit of everything such as steak, lobster, and crème brûlée, and everything was spot on. The food was rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was just as good as the food. The staff was professional and attentive without being overbearing. The whole restaurant felt clean, classy, and comfortable. It is perfect for a nice night out or a special occasion. They also offer valet parking, which made things super convenient. It is on the pricier side, but the quality and atmosphere match the cost. If you are looking to treat yourself or celebrate something special, I would definitely recommend it. If my budget allowed, I would go back in a heartbeat! read more

We went here for my 48th birthday over the weekend. Wow what an amazing experience. First, Jonathan is THE BEST waiter we have ever had. He made me feel like a celebrity. He gave great suggestions and explained the menu wonderfully. He goes above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is top notch. The manager came to check on us and was so kind and also said if he can make anything better to please let him know. It's so hard to find a restaurant like this these days. The bananas foster cake was decadent. My husband and I ordered the Wagyu steak and it was the best we have had in Austin. We will definitely come back here to celebrate special occasions! The inside is warm, romantic, and comfortable. read more

This place never disappoints! Drinks are absolutely amazing, the service is great, and the ambiance is very mellow and comforting. This is a great date night spot or even if you want to drop in and hang out at the bar alone. Hands down, this is my favorite spot to visit. Be sure to try the 24 Karat if you're in the mood for a drink, the Crab Fried Rice, and the Norwegian Salmon. read more

Eddie V's Prime Seafood - Norwegian Salmon - Seafood Near Me - Austin, Texas

Showed up and hostess said it was first come first serve at the bar. We waited 20 mins and someone leaving gave us their two seats. Bartender said no I have reservations. We were livid. Why didn't the 3 hostess standing around barely doing anything tell us the bar area had reservations when we showed up and asked??? I am so upset because if they told us we could have gotten on the list but they said to just wait for something to open up. So when seats opened up they were taken and we had no clue. I hope management fixes this. It's so frustrating to waste time when we should have been properly notified when we arrived at the front hostess stand. They should all be fired to be honest. read more

This place checks all the boxes every time we go. As appetizers we had a Caesar Salad and fresh thinly sliced pieces of Yellowtail. Exceptional! R ordered Seared Tune and I ordered the twin filets with Lobster in a Bernaise sauce. We added grilled asparagus and Potatoes Au Gratin Cheddar. Everything was outstanding including the Signature drinks we started with. Kyle was excellent throughout the evening. read more

I've been to multiple Eddie V's locations and mainly because of the service, this by far has to be one of the best. The bartender Gary was amazing, courteous, and attentive. Unfortunately, my steak was not cooked to the requested temperature. Seth, the manager seemed to make it his personal priority to ensure the next one brought out was right and to make amends for the mishap. Needless to say, the next one was perfect and gave room for me to enjoy the bar and live music and along with the laid back atmosphere. Eddie V's in downtown Austin is at the top of my list of restaurants when I'm in the area. Way to go Seth and team! read more

Visited Eddie V's in Austin and chose to sit at the bar. The atmosphere was lively and upscale, and once we were finally able to order, the food and drinks were very good. The bartender was clearly doing his best, but he was extremely busy, so we had to wave him down for service multiple times. What really threw us off was being seated at the bar, settled in, and then asked to move because those seats were "reserved." We moved without issue, but no reservation ever actually showed up. We found seats on the other side of the bar and ordered another round of drinks and some food, but the service challenges continued. We had to ask for drinks twice from two different people and still waited quite a while. Despite the hiccups, the quality of the food and atmosphere did shine through. Eddie V's still delivers a polished dining experience overall, but the bar service and communication could definitely use some tightening. I'd return--but only with a table reservation next time. read more

We came here on Valentine's Day and it was the best decision we made. We went with our friends and were treated so well from start to finish. The staff was absolutely delightful and the food was incredible. We ordered steak, shrimp, and the mac and cheese. Oh my goodness, the macaroni and cheese was topped with truffle breadcrumbs and it was so delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection. Each of the ladies was given a rose, which was such a beautiful and thoughtful touch that made us feel truly special. Our dessert presentation was phenomenal. I cannot remember exactly what we ordered, but it came out with a fire presentation and it was such a fun surprise. The ambiance is elevated and truly fine dining. Even though the restaurant was full of people celebrating, it was not too loud at all, and the space is large enough that everyone feels comfortably spread out. Thank you for making our Valentine's double date so wonderful. We absolutely loved this dining experience and are already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Stopped in to hear some music on a Sunday evening and sat at the bar-Gary the bartender is an absolute king! Chatted us up as if we were regulars as opposed to out of towners, introduced us to other folks at the bar, and made us the BEST lemon drops we've ever had. We had a yummy chopped wedge and scallops, but sitting there with Gary would have made anything taste good. Super fun night! read more

Their lobster mac is to die for..! I love to start with the tar tar and a martin. For my main i always get a steak and of course it is perfect everytime.

For more years then I care to remember, Eddie V's has been a constant measure of excellence. It has the unique ability to bring old skool elegance to modern chic. Living SW Austin, has kept us out of the downtown scene, however we do venture out from time to time for staycation celebrations. This was the case for our recent visit. It was my Suzie's 70th and an excellent reason to celebrate. I made reservations a month or so in advance for a table of 4. I got a phone call from Eddie V's to confirm the reso, the occasion and to review Suzie's Allergies the day of. Nice touch, makes one feel classy. They have valet parking, but we had a ride, so parking was a no brainer. Upon arrival, our table was ready, in one of their back room areas in a wooden panelled room. We felt removed from the rest of the restaurant, but included in the ambiance. Alexander our waiter, quickly came by and introduced himself. They utilize a team service here, but Alex was definitely going to guide through this evenings dinner. Superb waiter. Polite, funny, informed and there when we needed him and not there when we didn't. It was like, he had a third sense to know when we wanted something else or a question. Cannot ask for more than that. Dinner was delicious. It started with a complementary Amuse, to get the palate in check. Although Suzie cannot enjoy the 16 Oyster spread we ordered, she did enjoy the Calamari. I like how they prepare the Calamari at Eddie V's. They combine some veggies with the Calamari and lightly battered. The Oyster's were all East Coast, from Blue Point, Summer Love, Shooting Point and MoonLight Bay. Sweet, fresh with subtle brininess. My bro in law ordered the Lamb Chops and Chilean Sea Bass which they enjoyed. Wifey and I, optimistically ordered steaks. Mine Oscar style with a Crab topping. Optimistically... only because it seems the past few times at other establishments when we have ordered steaks, more times then not, they cannot seem to prepare steaks medium. Undercooking seems to be the new Medium. Why we had this silly bias is ridiculous here at Eddie V's. They were perfectly cooked to our request. I shared with Alex our trepidations and he mentioned he never is concerned with the grill guys, they have been here for many years and know their stuff. They certainly do. We opted to also ordere the Au Gratin, epic and some grilled asparagus, with nice char. I will mentioned that not only did they provide us with a complimentary Amuse, but a Champagne Toast for Suzie's 70th and a celebratory desert with fire and all the stuff. Even though we don't get by as much as we used to, Eddie V's Always... Always nails it. Do you get what you pay for? Absolutely. Never in a rush to get us out of there, even on a bustling PM in Downtown Austin on a Friday. Job Done Guys! read more

Yummy! Eddie V's is known for their seafood and this celebratory dinner did not disappoint. Yes, all the dishes are expensive but you get what you pay for. For a group of 5, we got everything to share including lamb, tuna, mac n cheese, fish of the day, shellfish tower, and calamari. My favorites are the shellfish tower and the mac n cheese! If you add caviar, then it becomes "The Big Eddie", which has layers and makes for a great picture. The entrees take about 18 minutes to make but it didn't feel that long especially with a friendly and knowledgeable server. They were able to explain the best parts of the menu and I also love that they brought up the special of the day: fish. Great meal, but definitely come here for a celebration. read more

I visited Eddie V's downtown for dinner. The ambiance reminds me a bit of a hotel. There are booths with tables in the center of the dining room. We were sat down at a table. People occasionally bumped into our chairs, which was disappointing. I ordered a glass of white wine that the server recommended. We had the yellowtail sashimi to start. It was light and tasty. The fish could've been cut into smaller pieces but it was still easy to eat with chopsticks. I had the lobster for my main course. It was flavorful and well seasoned. I enjoyed the asparagus with hollandaise sauce. The mashed potatoes with lobster was also delicious. The wine paired very well with the lobster. Our food took a while to come out, but it was busy so that's understandable. For dessert, we had the banana fosters butter cake. It was very good. I enjoyed the table side flambee. The cake was rich and it tasted great with the butter pecan ice cream. I also had an espresso martini with tequila. It was a great way to end the dinner. Overall, I had a great experience. read more
