We moved from Chicago to Orlando two years ago and chose the location of our home partly based on the proximity to Eddie V's because we enjoyed our visits there so much. We continue to visit Eddie V's on a weekly basis and can't say enough about this place and the staff. We love to sit at the bar, and we feel like family with the entire team. The management team also makes us feel like family. The name of the restaurant says it is a seafood restaurant, which it is, and they do seafood wonderfully. But do not forget to try the steak. They have filet, bone in strip, and bone in ribeye that are better than other high end steakhouses in the country. We do not have a single hesitation in recommending this place. If you go to the Orlando location, have a drink at the bar and you won't regret it. Special shoutout to bartender Chanti who provides such a welcoming environment that keeps us coming back, we love you! The management team is great too. Rachel, Justin and Gary all have taken the time to get to know us personally and that really keeps us wanting to come back frequently. read more

While in Orlando, get yourselves all dressed up for dinner! Eddie V's is elegant, has an amazing team of servers ( Luigi, and not Mario, but Michael) and bar tenders. Our meal was delicious - oysters from MA, Wagyu dumplings, filet mignon with lobsters tails too! The bananas foster flambé was incredible! This is a must visit place while in Orlando! Also, valet parking was nice!! Enjoy Emily & Sammy read more

Okay, this is a very late review, but we able to get a table for Valentine's Day. We had a table in the bar area, which turned out to be great. There was live music, nice and mellow, perfect for the atmosphere. I believe our server was Skyler, I apologize if I got that wrong, but he was spot on, great service, helpful and friendly. First off we had the yellowtail sashimi and I really can't find the right words for it, so I will just say it was Amazing! I've had sashimi hundreds of times, but this had just the perfect balance of ponzu and chili peppers. I don't care for really spicy food, and this was perfectly done, just a touch of heat to wake you up, but not anything that will hurt. We are still talking about it a month later. For dinner, we had the sea bass and a filet. The sea bass was wonderful, perfectly cooked. Nice and light. The filet was expertly cooked. I can't believe it took me this long to get to Eddie V's, it will definitely not be the last time. Their seafood is top notch, and even if seafood isn't really your thing, don't worry, they have something for everyone and it's just as amazing as the seafood. read more

We went for date night. Our party of 6 had a reservation for 9:30PM on Friday Night. I went to restroom when I got there and found the bathroom to be completely a mess. There was no tissue in one of the stalls. No paper towels to dry your hands. There was paper all over the sink. I told the hostess and she said someone had just told her and she was sending someone to clean it. Our server was extremely slow to take our order. The food took a long time to come. We ended up being the last ones in the restaurant. I had to ask multiple times for more sparkling water. She didn't come to check on us while waiting for the appetizers or the food. We only saw the runners who brought the food. We've been several times and the Chilean Sea Bass is my favorite dish. The plate came out hot, but my fish was cold not even room temperature. I sent it back and didnt order anything to replace it. My husband's lamb chops were cooked the right way and he enjoyed them. The crab fried rice is always consistently good. The crispy rice tuna appetizer was very good. The potstickers and lobster bisque were average. Over the years the service and food quality have declined. I am not certain I will go back any time soon. read more

Always a hit! Eddie Vs offers high quality food and superior service consistently! I wasn't in the mood to try anything different for our anniversary dinner so I went with this place because I knew I would not be disappointed. I applaud the level of service and food quality. We started at the bar with a few cocktails, a beautiful table with a view of the lake for our anniversary dinner and ended the night with a complimentary dessert! Everything from the cocktails, appetizers, entree and dessert was perfect! I was super excited to try the cavier appetizer for the first time. It was delicious and now an expensive treat to add to my must haves at other restaurants! The lobster tacos were exquisite and the ribeye was delicious! read more

I had a group dinner here recently. Eddie V's in other cities has always been good, so I was expecting to enjoy my meal. Each of us ordered some type of seafood, and everyone liked their dishes. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. The bread was fresh and hot, right out of the oven. Yum! The specialty cocktails were a little small for the price (ie glass not that full) but were very pretty and nicely composed. read more

Haven't been here in a while but coming back was great! We stopped coming after a very salty dinner one night but came back for our anniversary and it was just great! My husband got the 18oz New York strip and it was great. We got a side of mash is it's always good. I got the crab stuffed shrimp which I thought was good but definitely a super small portion. We were planning on getting a bananas foster cake but they brought out complementary dessert which was so nice. Not many places still do that and I think it takes the experience up a notch. All in all. This place is a classic and maintained its standard! read more

We've eaten at Eddie V's in multiple cities and we've never had a bad dining experience. The place is beautiful, they had a wonderful live singer that made the experience even better. We ate ourselves into a food coma, we had the crab cakes & shrimp cocktails for appetizers. We shared the Caesar salad & for our main entrée we, had the stuffed crab, shrimp, lamb chops crab, fried rice & truffle, macaroni and cheese.. The truffle macaroni and cheese I could've did without it was tasty, but it was so heavy . The Caesar salad is very different. It's not creamy. It's a very different texture, but it's really good. The stuffed crab shrimp are to die for, but the star is the lamb chops. They are so good and mouthwatering. It's just so yummy. The crab fried rice is not like your traditional fried rice is kind of buttery, but it's good. Our server Luigi Bafundi space made our meal more enjoyable with his service and this cappuccino ice cream at the end of our meal. It was so lovely. The only shortcomings were the chocolate, bitters in the old-fashioned we had. We changed out the bourbon, but we really didn't care for the bitters . I did not like the chocolate flavor, it made it so sweet. Our second round were regular old-fashioned, they were just ok we switched to the normal ones those were just OK. They were all smoked. read more

Wow, just wow. You would drive past this place and never know it is one if the best meat and seafood places in Orlando. Service is A+, food quality is A+, ambience is A+. Loved it and they have a happy hour, which I will do next time. Six types of Oysters, Filet, Sea Bass that melts on a fork, Lamb cooked perfectly and all drinks are great. A wonderful experience and excited to go back again. Tip: Get 5 Oysters, it comes with 3 sauces that work on multiple dishes, especially the spicy horseradish on the Filet. Thank you Joel and Nicholas for incredible service. read more

Now I know why my mother enjoys coming to Eddie V's for her birthday! They made her feel like a superstar! We made a same-day reservation on OpenTable and, upon seating, Kyle the GM greeted us with a champagne toast for my mom's bday - a very nice gesture! The table was also decorated with glitter and a hand written birthday card for her. There was live music playing in the bar area but it wasn't too loud in the dining room. The decor here is classy, a nice place. Our waiter very helpful and attentive and brought out some bread for the table. It seemed fresh baked with a crisp crust and soft in the middle. Our steaks were of quality and perfectly cooked to order with no fat or tendons. They finished our meal by bringing out a plate for my mom with a trio of strawberry sorbet, chocolate cookie and banana foster. It was well presented and definitely will consider a full-sized banana foster. It was fantastic! Finally a great experience at a Darden restaurant. Much better than my recent visits to Capital Grille and Ruth's Chris. I'll be adding Eddie V to my steakhouse rotation! read more

If you have a large party, don't even consider Eddie V's. I tried to make a reservation for a party of 16. The individual who was handling the reservation and contract ghosted me for 6 days (Erica Hartman). I put in four calls over 6 days. No response. She did finally get a Contract to me. The date was off by a full week. Very disappointed in this location. Darden restaurants is a great brand. it's unfortunate that their management allows less than mediocre employees to damage their brand. read more

Another great experience at this location recently. The sequence of service and every associate we interacted with was A++. Our server was Spencer as well as Diego and they were absolutely polished offering the highest service level that is unmatched. Both were very genuine and caring in their celebration of our special anniversary. I had what I normally get, the Parmesan encrusted Sole and it was a generous a portion and extremely tasty and cooked to perfection. Enough for two meals. I also had the fried rice with crab topping, the potatoes au gratin, and the macaroni with truffles. All of the sides were tasty and prized take home possessions for a second meal. My wife had the 10 ounce filet mignon and it was excellent and cooked perfectly. It was not quite as good as her last visit; but, still an 8 out of 10. She also had the asparagus as a side and the Gulf Shrimp as an opener. Eddie V.'s is an awesome, classy, and fast-paced environment, even at the early hours. If you want to escape the high demand periods, I would recommend going on the early side from 4:30 to 6. Great time and you will not be disappointed. read more

We had a party of 8 from work and eveyone LOVED IT! We ordered the Seafood Tower appetizer plus Calamari. We also ordered the Lobster Mashed Potatoea, Steaks and the flaming bananas foster. Absolutely Delicious! The sorbet w/ Rosemary was phenomenal. The Filet was really thick and they could cut it with a fork it was so tender. Highly recommend everything on the menu! Service was above and beyond and the ambiance is perfect for an elegant dinner or work event. We'll be back! read more

I cannot believe I've never tried the Ft. Lauderdale location back home! This spot was phenomenal! The food oh my... the steak we ordered was perfectly cooked to our desired temperature. Juice & not overly seasoned. The salmon was also tasty & their miso honey glazed (or the likes) was not overpowering. We also ordered the brussel sprouts (but wasn't a fan) & the burrata & beet salad. That was a hit! As for service it was phenomenal - they understood we were splitting the dishes so they took care of placing them on separate plates before serving the sides. Now... the live jazz music & their pick for entertainment were top notch! Hidden little local gems who can totally jam & keep the crowd engaged. Even the most uninterested parties were partying! Thank you for a great weekday business dinner turned into a really good time Eddie Vs! read more

Another fantastic EddieV's experience! I've been to EddieV's locations across the country, and the Orlando spot continues to deliver the same exceptional quality I've come to expect from this chain. What really sets EddieV's apart is the live music - it creates such a wonderful atmosphere that elevates the entire dining experience. There's something special about enjoying a perfectly prepared meal while listening to talented musicians perform. I'm a big fan of dining at the bar. The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly, and there's an energy at the bar that you just don't get at a regular table. Plus, you get to watch the skilled bartenders craft cocktails while you enjoy your meal. Their smoked old fashioned hand crafted at the bar is a sight to behold. The bar seating also gives you a great view of the restaurant action. The food quality remains consistently outstanding. The service is attentive without being intrusive, and the overall ambiance strikes that perfect balance between upscale and comfortable. Having dined at multiple EddieV's locations nationwide, I can confidently say the Orlando restaurant maintains the high standards that make this chain special. The addition of live music here makes it a standout. Highly recommend for both special occasions and casual nights out!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

My best friend had her birthday dinner this past weekend at Eddie Vs. The ambiance and dark lighting make it amazing for a late night dinner or date night. They started us out with bread and drinks. I really enjoyed the espresso martini. The server was very helpful and actually read my mind on how I like my martini. We then started with the entrees. I ordered my steak medium well, but it was medium rare on the inside which made me a little disappointed. I ate around the medium rare portion. The mac was so disappointing because it was actually very dry and nasty. The lobster mashed potatoes are DELICIOUS!!! I keep thinking about it! My s/o got the rib eye which he said was very flavorful. I may stop by in the future but honestly this is very over priced read more

This was my first visit to the Eddie V's Prime Orlando location and it did NOT disappoint. Service is always top, but our server (Hugo V) definitely knows how to treat his customers, it was the day before Valentine's Day and the restaurant was crowded, but you would never know it based on the service we received from Hugo. He ent above and beyond to make our night special~! We skipped appetizers as I was ready to eat and didn't want to ruin my meal with anything else. We ordered the lamb chops (cooked medium) and the diet of beef Oscar (cooked medium) and both dishes were seasoned well and served piping hot. For sides, we ordered the lobster poached mashed potatoes and the asparagus. We ended our dish with the birthday butter cake. I forgot to add that the two drinks we ordered were also top notch. The Old fashioned might have been the best one I have ever tasted. The chocolate bitters took it over the top. read more

A group of 5 of us went in a weeknight dinner because we had a guest from out of town. I had never dined here and usually stay away from chain restaurants but decided to give it a try. The restaurant is spacious and beautiful and there was live music. We were tucked away in a room at the rear of the restaurant which I didn't love but it was fine. I ordered an old fashioned, without the smoke, and it was one of the best I've had. The chocolate bitters really added a wonderful note and complemented the orange and cherry. Very enjoyable. The lemon drop was also delightful. My husband and I decided on the sole and the ribeye for our mains. We also ordered the lobster mashed potatoes, crab and mushrooms fried rice, asparagus, and scalloped potatoes for the table. The rest of our table ordered the au gratin potatoes, another ribeye, Chilean sea bass, and the lobster bisque. There was nothing that I put in my mouth that wasn't delicious. The lobster mashed potatoes had large chunks of lobster swimming in butter. So decadent. The steaks were perfectly cooked. The sole and the sea bass were luxurious and amazing. The crab fried rice was generously topped with crab and I am not sure what kind of mushrooms they used but it was over the top yummy. I only wish we had room for dessert because I could only imagine how good they would be. Our server was amazing. I believe her name was Makeba. She provided excellent suggestions and made our dining experience much more lovely with her demeanor. We came to find out she is from the same country as our family! So nice to make a connection in an unlikely place! I was so glad we decided to dine here. It was a perfect experience. We will be back. read more

An excellent dining experience at Eddie V's on west Sand Lake Road in Orlando Florida. Plenty of free parking or valet. After you check in there's a bar you can wait at because no available seating at the front door. Short five minute wait at 5:00pm until we were escorted to our table. Plenty of room for two. Started with Lobster Bisque bowl of soup which our waiter had poured into two cups. A perfect size for a starter. Wifey chose the 10oz fillet and split lobster tail from South Africa. Very delicious indeed. I had the 22oz bone in ribeye. Best one I've had in a while. Sides of crab fried rice and au gratin potatoes. I loved the potatoes while my wife enjoyed the rice dish. Crème Brûlée we shared and it was made for two. Yummy yummy. They even bought over a celebration dessert for us celebrating the wife's birthday. Really nice atmosphere and the best service around. A truly grateful experience here. read more

Occasion: Graduation celebration Food: Great land and seafood options. Not pictured: Lamb Chomps that came with an abundance of meat and Scallops that were rich in citrus and nutty flavor. Service: Between wonderful customer service over the phone, complementary valet staff welcoming you on property, and the table-side service--we felt so cared for. Almost every person took their time to congratulate the graduate, contributing to the celebration. We also received help storing an ice cream cake in their freezer, and surprising the gradate with it. Atmosphere: Fantastic music!! Perhaps a little tight with walking space, but does not take away from the experience. We are grateful to have dined with Eddie V's! read more

A truly lovely dining experience from start to finish. The waitstaff was absolutely incredible--attentive, friendly, and polished. The 24 Karat cocktail was as beautiful as it was delicious, setting the tone for a memorable evening. We began with fresh oysters and the tableside steak tartare--both excellent choices. The wedge salad was crisp and refreshing. For mains, the scallops were perfectly cooked, but the standout was the Parmesan-encrusted sole--easily the highlight of the meal. We ended with the bananas foster dessert, which was heavenly. Live music added a special ambiance throughout the night, and thoughtful touches like warm towels and a rose at the end made the experience feel truly elevated. We will definitely be back. read more

The steak is overpriced and mediocre. It was not good enough to go back. The only good thing that was the burrata cheese.

An Unforgettable Fine Dining Experience - From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, it was clear we were in for something special. The ambiance was refined yet welcoming, with soft lighting, elegant décor, and a serene atmosphere that set the tone for the evening. But what truly elevated our dining experience was the exceptional service we received from our server, John. From the very beginning, John struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations and answering every question with genuine enthusiasm. His timing was impeccable and attentive, always appearing just when we needed something. Every course was served with precision and care resulting in a delicious meal after a long day. In a world where service can often feel routine, it was great to see strong hospitality. Coming from a world of restaurant management, Eddie V's really met the expectations of true fine dining.

Eddie V's Prime Seafood - Tuna tartare, amazing!!! - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I was excited to dine at this location, but after my first time dining experience, I was not impressed. I ate my food, but I did not enjoy it. I also will not order the lobster tacos, and wedge salad from this location in the future. I also did not enjoy my drink. The jazz band was off key, and tried to mix gospel music with jazz music by Nat King Cole, and Frank Sinatra. "Try again, band!" Also, my waitress was not as friendly as I expected her to be. As for the ambience, the restaurant was smaller than I expected. Also, the bathrooms could have been cleaner. There is no hype about this restaurant. I may return again in the future for a crab cake. read more
