Have always been curious about this spot since we usually eat in this plaza. Came here on a…read moreWednesday night and got seated immediately. We ordered: Seasoned fries (5/5): we got the Cajun/garlic flavor and it came with ranch and ketchup. It was delish and crispy garlic noodles (5/5): really flavorful but a bit salty. Think it needs more noodles Regular fries (5/5): like McDonald fries! Super crispy and fresh Seafood lover (4/5): we got the mixed sauce and got a medium spice level. We felt like the sauce was missing something, tasted like hot sauce a bit? Wasn't like your typical Cajun seasoning like kickin crab and not sure if I prefer it TBH. Really nice it comes with corn and sausage! They gave us free fried Oreos with vanilla ice cream at the end which was super nice of them. Service was great but not sure if I like the sauce unfortunately

We will definitely be returning again soon. 10/10 would recommend for any meal, celebration or not.

I recently entertained an LAX-LAWA associate who was instrumental in my past workforce career (job…read morefairs & events) as it pertained to LAX, or Los Angeles International Airport. I wished to connect with her in an effort to re-establish our work relationship after being out of the loop the last few years. I was hopeful that Eddie V's would prove an ideal location with which to impress. Indeed it was! We began what would turn out to be one of the most enjoyable outings in fine dining since I have been in L.A., and the South Bay/Manhattan Beach area in particular. I can say that Eddie V's hit on all three elements that most look for when considering fine dining options-the ambiance (location itself), the food, and of course my #1 thing-the level of customer service! Other than past experiences in my 2nd home of New Orleans, (where top tier customer service is to be expected from "hole in the walls" to century old restaurants such as Antoine's, Galatoire's, and Commander's Palace-this was bar none my best fine dining experience in Los Angeles.......ever! Over the course of the next few hours, we would indulge in the following: Starters: *Caesar Sald-light and scrumptious. (I devoured this option in under 10 minutes) *Shrimp Cocktail-presented as a table spread as opposed to the shrimp being hooked on the outside of a generic wine glass. The shrimp were large and super fresh. We both moved in for the attack here! Dinner: *Crab Cakes (3) These are bar none the absolute best in L.A. I had two, and my guest knocked out one of them-they tasted just like Gulf crab-which is saying something. *One 8oz Filet Mignon-cooked to perfection (we kind of split this) lol Beverages: *GL Substance (aka the house red), which I enjoyed thoroughly. * Smoked Old Fashioned (part of a nice presentation where our server literally lit up fire and "smoked it" in front of my guest. *Perfect Margarita-a certified margarita according to my guest. * Fresh coffee and cream-hot and fresh like the food! Desert: *Celebration Dessert which consisted of a variety of special treats-all of which were complimentary. *Meyer Lemon Tart-a mouthwatering offering that was the epitome of that perfect blend where lemon and sugar meet in the middle. Customer Service The CSA, or Customer Service All Star of this experience was Kayla P-pictured. Honorable mention goes out to hostess Azhanee-pictured. Server Kayla P and Hostess Azhanee collaborated as a team and ennsured that my guest was greeted by name and that her valet was already paid upon arrival! GM Melissa L Pacana checked in on us a few times, thereby adding the cherry to the top of this A-1 experience. Special thanks to Server Kayla P for taking super loving care of us-you're a credit to Darden Restaurants, & this Eddie V's in particular.

Kind of prohibitive pricing for casual drop ins. Especially if you order a beer. I know it's South Bay, but bummer. Atmosphere: walls covered in punk records, music gear, and skate decks. Rad! Except.... the pumping music was straight out of "songs covered by Glee." WTF. Excruciating. Like being in a crappy clothing store in a mall. Booooo. Dining in can't both be expensive and a challenge of endurance. Awful. Incoherent. Service: bartender/manager (he said he was manager to a woman he was flirting with, so I'll assume he was) told me the decoration was just decoration. Ok. Weird. Verdict: pass. Not worth $$ or dealing with the vibe. Footnote: bartender guy wore an earbud -- owners should kaibosh that nonsense.

The service is friendly and the process of ordering is self-intuitive and easy and the time process is quick knowing it is custom cooked to order for every customer that can be 10-15 mins or so and you can be in and out dining in quickly or take a meal "to-go" quicker. The steak is or was, mediocre. This is a seafood restaurant and specialty. If you come here, I'd say don't do the surf and turf (steak) but opt for more seafood. The shrimp grilled in the shell is lackluster because the shrimp often sticks into the shell and dry out, harder to eat and less delicious, in my opinion. All of the fishes that are grilled are great and the best options.
