We came for brunch and they almost had to roll us out of there. They passed around oysters, shrimp cocktail and grilled pineapple with honey. Three different food stations: meat, vegetable and shrimp skewers was one; your choice of southern ham (prosciutto basically) or crab cake eggs benedicts was the second one and the third one I don't remember (mostly because I didn't quite make it there). In the middle they had lobster deviled eggs, assorted tea sandwiches and a small section with desserts. Everything was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Yes, it's expensive but so well worth it!! Parking can be an issue but the good thing is, you can walk off a little of everything that you ate so that's a win!

It wasn't worth the price tbh for brunch. I will update my review or make a new one if we go to…read moredinner and maybe that was our mistake. $78 per person from brunch wasn't that great. They barely brought around food like the French toast bites. They kept bringing around oysters and literally no table wanted them that I saw. It wasn't that busy either, tons of empty tables. Instead they held off the arguably best dish of the house: French toast bites. We FINALLY got them at the end of our meal before we left but had to stalk the waiter for them. For $78 there should be way more rotations of the better dishes. Our waiter was great and atmosphere is gorgeous. Playing, food quality and everything was average. The highlight was the poached eggs, eggs Benedict, bacon, potatoes, skewers and everything else was okay. Not better than like Golden Corral or a standard buffet. My opinion is skip the brunch for that price, unless you really like oysters LOL. Also if I had little kids, would never waste money on brunch here.

We had mushrooms, au gratin potatoes, and corn crème brûlée as our sides. We have already looked up copy cat recipes for the corn crème brûlée. I need to have this over and over again. For dessert the table split the red velvet bread pudding (we were stuffed) and I immediately started searching for copy cat recipes for that. It was decadent. Service was impeccable.

My service and quality of food have not been great both times. I've noticed they're extremely friendly with greeting guests in and out. However, I've never experienced that. Much like the first experience my food (specifically wings) came out over cooked. Joseph the bar tender was awesome enough to observe that and immediately acknowledged more would be coming out. The kitchen sent out 3 wings to replace the entirety burnt first batch. I sent the remainder of the first batch back, and sadly had to wait for it to be a to go order. As I was leaving, someone who appeared to be in management sure enough, greeted the women in front of me, but stared at me as I walked out. I awkwardly said to him "have a great day" with the same enthusiasm he said to the women in front me. I work nearby and this place is close to my office. Was excited because it's right across the street from my go to car wash. Sadly won't return. Lastly for what it's worth, it takes a lot for me to right a review like this, especially for a local shop that's right in my community.

After a long, hard day of work, there's something special about sitting down, taking a deep breath, and enjoying a good meal. A perfectly cooked steak. Fresh bread. A glass of wine. And a moment to slow down and appreciate how far you've come. Life moves fast. Responsibilities never stop. Challenges keep coming. But every now and then, it's important to pause and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Not because you've reached the finish line. But because you've earned a moment of gratitude along the journey. Good food. Good atmosphere. Good conversation. And a reminder that hard work deserves appreciation too. Life's not perfect, but it's good. Peace.

One was a small side Caesar salad which I got. I was disappointed in the continuing practice for restaurants to charge for small changes like this within informing the customer. Waitress was very nice, however and attentive. What is also quite unique about the restaurant was that you could order small 4 oz beers, just for tasting at $2-3 each. The place is quite large and must get incredibly noisy at times with the hard surfaces and multiple TVs. There is an option to sit directly at the bar or at tables.

Two of my personal standouts are the Beetle Juice, which incorporates fresh beet juice, and The Fishbone, which brilliantly highlights their house-made aquavit.

I came off of a recommendation from a family friend, and they assured me I would have a great experience at any point in time and with any server. Though, They did recommend Victor. And Victor walked me through everything I needed. He anticipated my needs. He answered my questions and he came through with recommendations. The steaks that we ordered were technically proficient, and seasoned with authority, to complement their dry aging process. We ordered the New York and a fillet mignon. Our sides included a baked potato, Caesar salads, and buttered broccoli. I became a little creative and I dragged my fillet mignon through the buttered sauce from the broccoli and I didn't think it could get better than that. When Victor mentioned that we should just buy a bottle of wine, his recommendation was fantastic. We got the bottle of Oberon. All of this to say, we snagged one of the last reservations after 9 PM on a Friday night. And I still received excellent service.

We had a reservation for a Monday dinner on my husband's birthday, which happened to also be 1/2 priced wine day (glasses or bottles up to $40). Maybe it was because of the affordable wine or the World Cup on TV, but the place was surprisingly bumpin'. We came with our toddler, and the staff were super friendly with her. She really enjoyed snacking on the complimentary crackers and cheese spread. My husband and I decided to share the dinner special for 2, which is a 10 oz filet mignon, 2 lobster tails, and 4 sides for $178. A delicious splurge! For our sides, we chose a Caesar salad, cheesy fried potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, and balsamic brussels sprouts. The steak was so tender and savory. Absolutely loved it. Definitely one of the best steaks I've had in the city! After our meal, our server brought a complimentary dessert, a layered mousse cake, served in a martini cake with a candle to celebrate my husband's birthday. Such a nice surprise, and the perfect end to a special family meal. Here's to 70+ more years of BnB in CLT!

The steak tartar made at the table, fresh oysters in half shelf were very nicely presented, the meat and the lobster were excellent, free dessert complimentary of the restaurant, and best of all, we did not break the bank. The atmosphere sophisticated but not stuffy. Live instrumental pop music provided a nice ambiance without being disruptive. And the service was par none. Very professional, attentive and knowledgeable folks. We will return.

Unfortunately, this Restaurant Week visit was nothing like the Eddie V's I remembered. I dined solo at the bar and actually had to ask for the Restaurant Week menu. I chose the upgraded lobster bisque (+$5) and Chilean sea bass (+$10), looking forward to treating myself. I rarely splurge on a nice dinner, so this was something I had been excited about all day. The food was mixed. The lobster bisque was flavorful, although the amount of lobster was surprisingly small. The mashed potatoes were outstanding, and the asparagus was very good. The Chilean sea bass was cooked well but lacked seasoning and wasn't the memorable entrée I expected. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. The restaurant was less than half full during my visit, so the extended delays were especially surprising. I waited an unusually long time for my entrée while guests who arrived after me were served first. Another surprise was that the only restroom I was directed to required going down to the basement, which was difficult with my mobility issues (I need my knee replaced). I would encourage the restaurant to make it clearer whether there is an accessible restroom available on the main floor, as this could be challenging for many guests. After another long wait for dessert, I asked to have my crème brûlée boxed because the delays meant I would now be walking back to my hotel after dark. I explained that I had intentionally walked there for exercise and had planned to walk back before dark. The response I received was simply, "Just call an Uber." That completely missed the point. I wasn't asking for transportation--I was explaining how the delays had changed my evening. To add to the confusion, I was given two desserts instead of the one I requested. While I appreciate the gesture if it was intended that way, it reinforced the feeling that no one was really listening. What disappointed me most wasn't simply the wait. It was the complete lack of service recovery. No sincere apology, no acknowledgment of how long I'd waited, and no effort to make the experience feel special. I've always thought of Eddie V's as one of Charlotte's premier dining experiences. That's exactly why this visit was so disappointing. I sincerely hope this was an isolated experience because I'd like to remember Eddie V's for the exceptional restaurant it has been in the past.
