    TLDR: extremely overpriced for what you get. Save your money and go elsewhere. Smells like sewer. Unkept building. Review: We eat out once or twice a week and we go in wanting to like a place. It started in the parking lot. The landscaping is completely overgrown. The weed we parked in front of was as tall as our car. There are plastic flowers staged around the entrance that look like someone saw what Delbar does and tried to copy it on a budget. We hadn't walked through the door yet and we were already adjusting our expectations. Then we walked in and were hit with the smell of sewer. Not a whiff. It took most of the meal before we stopped noticing it. Our server was the biggest problem of the night. She couldn't explain the menu, didn't bring silverware when the food came, and then there was the upselling. Every single course came with a suggestion that costs more, and not once did she disclose it. She recommended a second piece of bread and we said sure. of course, It was an upcharge. My wife ordered a drink and got steered toward a top-shelf tequila. My friend ordered a margarita and got the same treatment. When I ordered the pasta she asked which protein I wanted, phrased like it was included. It was $15. I had to figure this out on my own. That would have been a $30 plate if pasta. One sentence would have fixed all of it: "you can add a protein, the prices are on the menu." She never said it once, all night, to anyone at the table. The whipped lavender appetizer she pushed hardest was plain whipped ricotta. No lavender, nothing special not wirth the price. It came with one piece of bread. Bread was basic Sysco with grill marks for pizazz . (Hey management, Why would an appetizer come with one piece of bread?) My pasta was called Bucatini something Nero, so we assumed black or something with squid ink. It was cream and parmesan. Cooked al dente but chunky instead of velvety, buried under so much parmesan I scraped it off. The burrata was small and cold, which is fine, that's burrata. My friend ordered the lamb shank and got lamb chops. The server fixed it by grabbing someone else's shank. The lamb itself was excellent, genuinely. The pureed potatoes under it were so starchy they were closer to fufu than mashed potatoes. The branzino was fine. My wife's filet mignon was the most expensive thing on the table: five small pieces, bone dry, not a trace of pink anywhere, in a marinade that read sour. The rice next to it was styled to look Middle Eastern and tasted like nothing. The orange sauce on that plate was the best thing we ate all night. Calamari was not bad but the plate had a thick layer of grease. Her prosecco cocktail came out room temperature and flat, garnished with a mint leaf that was half black. I pulled it out before it fell in. It was the only garnish on the drink and they chose to put a huge mint leaf with black rotten parts? Damn. Wild. No non-alcoholic options besides and overpriced rose and some mocktails. This was a Friday at 7pm. A musician was sound checking at full restaurant volume the entire time we ate, same song over and over, adjusting his settings. Four of us at one table could not hear each other. Dessert was actually great. The cheesecake was good. We ordered coffee with it, and she never brought it, never came back to check on the dessert, and never mentioned it again until we asked for the check, at which point she asked if we still wanted it. We wanted to leave. Paying was its own event. You scan a QR code at the table, and she handed us one from a different table that didn't work. Then we found out 20% gratuity had already been added for a party of four. She came back with a printed receipt to walk us through a discount she'd applied, fumbled with it, realized she'd printed the wrong one, disappeared, came back, and showed us $5 off. The $5 was her correcting her own mistake charging us for the wrong lamb. Over $330 for four people. I came home and ate a bowl of cereal. So disappointed

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS (before you even walk in): The parking lot is TIGHT, and the signage is unclear enough that I genuinely thought I was supposed to be across the street. Fix the sign. Once inside, though, gorgeous decor, and the host was attentive right away. Credit where it's due. But the front of house needs rethinking. There's no waiting area. Sacrifice one or two seating spots and give guests somewhere to actually stand or sit. And build some kind of divider between the entrance and the dining room, because right now I'm making direct eye contact with someone mid-bite as I walk in. This is NOT a diner, and you certainly aren't charging diner prices. THE MUSIC. My number one critique. It is UNBELIEVABLY loud, and it does not match the room. It gives Texas Roadhouse. It gives Cracker Barrel. Meanwhile everything else in here screams CLASSY and your clientele showed up dressed. Nobody wants music blasting at them while they eat. We are NOT on a dance floor. At minimum, turn it DOWN and distribute it evenly throughout the restaurant instead of concentrating it in one spot right next to tables. CONTEXT, to be fair: I understand I came during their first week or so of being fully open. They soft-launched in December, so some of this is growing pains. SMALL THINGS THAT CHEAPEN THE ROOM: Hide the kid stools and anything else that reads immature. The vibe here is dark adult night out, drinks with the girls. It is NOT LongHorn with my three-year-old, so stop decorating like it might be. THE MENU, another big turn-off. You worked SO hard on the decor. Put that same energy into presentation. These menus are LITERAL binders with paper in them. It reads like a middle school project. And why is everything aggregated? Cocktails deserve their own dedicated drink menu. Then there's the QR code situation. DELETE the whole thing. Our server couldn't get it to work, ended up printing the bill by hand (an extra 5+ minutes), and then handed us a bill that required downloading the Toast app to pay. Unnecessarily convoluted. Just do it the OLD FASHIONED way. I have no idea what the thinking was here. SERVICE: Our waiter was very nice. But please train your staff to make recommendations. "Hey, have you been here before?" "No, it's your first week." "Then I'd suggest X." That's it. That's the WHOLE script. Also, he had to ask us to repeat our entire order because the music was so loud. (See above.) FOOD: Lamb shank, 8/10. Should be a staple on the menu and promoted with a photo. This thing was OUTSTANDING, melt-in-your-mouth. The whipped mash was so good I'm almost afraid to know what's in it. Great job. Branzino, 5/10. Beautiful cook on the fish, and the sauce and flavors were great, though the portion was small for a branzino. The potatoes, however, were UNDERCOOKED and hard. Cocktails: Not bad at all. Nothing to complain about, keep it up. OVERALL: Wouldn't come back as it stands. OVERPRICED for what's being delivered in its current state. The bones are here: the decor, the lamb, the staff's attitude. Fix the noise, the menus, and the payment circus, and this could be a completely different review.

    RIGATONI ALLA VODKA (one has steak added to it)
    Peter K.

    The place is loud. Not sure why they play the music so loud that you can barely hear the people next to you. Felt like we were yelling at each other. The waitress had to be promoted for water refills. She would come by, see empty glasses, and walk away. Soda refills, you know, $4 a pop, so I understand why she would not ask for that. Ceaser salad was over-dressed; the amount of dressing made the lettuce salty. Also, the pita croutons tasted stale, with no real crunch. Would have rather had a slice of the warm pita. The steak I added to the salad was okay. Nothing special The salmon limone dish was again okay. Nothing that stands out. Lamb chops were cooked to the correct temperature We had two of RIGATONI ALLA VODKA, and one of them was undercooked. We also had several orders of the BUCATINI AL PEPE NERO, and they were okay, very heavily sauced. And the chicken and shrimp were overcooked. The chicken was dry, and the shrimp were rubbery. We had apps. We did the calamari and the cauliflower. Both were super crispy. But some of the calamari was overcooked. And paired with the sauce, just felt heavy and too rich. For the price of the drinks and food I should have gone to Rumis. That feels worth the price and drive.

    I came here for their soft opening and it was packed! They have valet parking and also parking across the street in BOA parking lot. You will need to scan and pay in the lot across the street. It is a very chic vibe soon as you walk in. The bar is a nice size with various liquor. They hired a DJ and had dancers for the soft opening so it was vibing! They served us with prosecco and they had samplings of what will be on their menu. My favorite was the lollipop chicken with a yogurt sauce. Their Mac and cheese with brisket was also really good. The theme is Mediterranean with Italian influence. I can't wait for their grand opening (Tue 12/23).

    Lollipop chicken was reheated, dry and flavorless

    My wife was so excited to try this new place but unfortunately we were disappointed. First impression, the decor is beautiful. We were impressed how they transformed that space - truly impressive. Ana, our server, was wonderful. She really did a nice job. Unfortunately none of the rest of the staff seemed to want to be there. Major vibe kill. My Moscow Mule and my wife's mocktail were both excellent. We noticed the beautiful glassware, which makes a difference. My drink stem was sticky however, which is annoying. Details matter. We ordered three tapas, the whipped feta, lollipop chicken and meatballs. Everything came out looking beautiful but we were disappointed that nothing seemed fresh. The meatballs were not hot enough and the tomato sauce was too thick and not fresh. The lollipop chicken seemed like reheated from two days ago. The sauce was flavorless. And even the whipped feta tasted like it had been plated at least a day earlier. And the grilled bread looked beautiful but was neither warm nor fresh. At this price point, the food needs to improve. Finally, and in my opinion the most crucial, it to work on the vibe. Other than Ana, none of the employees were engaging or inviting. Most annoying was having 2-3 servers constantly leaning against the end of the bar on their cell phones. This alone is the primary reason we likely won't be back.

    Food is amazing , very nice service from Sofia. Cute atmosphere and good music Easy to parking

    I came here for a night out with my brother and mom. Food was delicious. I didn't leave "hungry" but I do think I could've ordered more food. My old fashioned was delicious. Overall a good experience. I will be back! Even for a girls night or a date night.

    So, my boyfriend found this place and we wanted to check it out. Fairly new restaurant in downtown Alpharetta. It's a really cute place with a nice atmosphere. I'd say you can dress up but only if you want. It has an upscale diner feel to it. We walked in and were seated quickly by the hostess. We sat there for quite a while, unusually long time. The hostess even came by but only to grab the other plates since we were at a four top and there were two of us. She made no comment that we didn't even have water after sitting there for so long. I was actually thinking about walking out when a server comes over and said that she was just told she had to help the other server and she was so apologetic because we had been waiting there for a really long time. though she was very nice, it was offputting to start our meal this way. So I ordered a cocktail and we got a couple appetizers, chicken, lollipops, and truffle Parmesan fries. I really did like both the appetizers. The fries were probably the best. Then it came time to order dinner. He chose a Moroccan chicken and I chose a bowl and added salmon. They did overcook my salmon. The bowl was OK but a little bland overall. As far as his meal, it just looked like a hot mess. It was described in the menu that it was served in harissa sauce, and I've had harissa before. This tasted like it came from a jar, poor quality tomato sauce, no spice, certainly not harissa at all. also, it was chicken thighs, and very little meat. It was definitely not good. I don't know if there was a manager there or not, but no one came by to check on us other than the server. Although she did try to take care of us, we both left with the consensus of not wanting to go back.

    Absolutely outstanding dining experience!…read more Eddie V's in Alpharetta is what I consider top-tier dining. From the moment we walked in, the ambience, attention to detail, and professionalism of the staff immediately let me know this was going to be a special evening. The atmosphere is elegant, upscale, and sophisticated without feeling stuffy, and the overall vibe is perfect for a date night, celebration, or simply treating yourself to a great dinner. Now let's talk about the FOOD! The bone-in ribeye was phenomenal. Beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorful, tender, and cooked exactly the way I wanted it. Definitely one of those steaks that makes you slow down and appreciate every bite. The crab fried rice was another standout. Flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and packed with crab. It wasn't just a side dish sitting next to the steak, it could easily hold its own as part of the meal. And the lump crab cakes? Absolutely delicious. Heavy on the crab, light on the filler, with that perfect golden finish. If you're a crab cake person, do yourself a favor and order them. What really took the experience to another level, though, was the service. Everyone was attentive, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great experience. There was never that feeling of being forgotten or having to chase someone down. The staff stayed one step ahead without hovering, which is exactly what excellent service should look like. Eddie V's understands that fine dining isn't just about what's on the plate. It's the entire experience. The food, ambience, presentation, hospitality, and attention to detail all came together beautifully. 5 stars without hesitation. The bone-in ribeye, crab fried rice, and lump crab cakes alone are worth coming back for. Add the atmosphere and top-tier service, and Eddie V's has officially earned a spot on my list of favorite upscale dining experiences in the Atlanta area.

Yet the cuisine, the ambiance, and the service "lived up to the mark," five stars and above, for dining at Eddie V's.

Lots of options for those who love the fishery part of the concept and just as many choices for those that don't. We ordered the bruschetta and enjoyed their take that used fig jam, prosciutto and balsamic glaze instead of the more traditional tomato base. They have house made focaccia that when brought to the table we instantly regretted having ordered the bruschetta, thinking we overdid the bread thing. But we both quickly changed our minds and consumed both with little guilt... I would go back just for the focaccia alone and wish they sold it by the loaf! Pastas are made onsite but they get the gluten free version from a different supplier to avoid risk of cross contamination. Hubby had the wild boar pasta. I had the pork chop. My chop was perfectly grilled and moist. I asked for the marsala sauce on the side since I don't like mushrooms themselves, but enjoy the flavor they can add. The weakest link was the mashed potatoes, served in two round scoops reminiscent of school cafeteria lines. Other than the shape, there was nothing memorable nor particularly flavorful about them. Next time I would try a different side and keep the chop. We didn't save room for dessert this time but will definitely get some next time. And there will definitely be a next time. Moderate price point, not an everyday spot, but shouldn't be saved just for special occasions either.

The vibe here was buzzing on a Friday evening which seemed promising. We opted to sit at the bar which I do NOT recommend if you plan on eating. It is extremely tight seating and the bartenders aren't not trained to serve food or have menu knowledge. The lack of the kitchen staff culinary skills became evident when looking at the menu with many seafood/pasta items being served with one sauce- a goopy cornstarch'ish lemon butter sauce. We wanted to try the scampi appetizer with their house made pasta - sans dairy which meant no lemon butter sauce. That seemed to throw a wrench and there was much back and forth between the BT to the kitchen explaining what that meant aka do not cook the food with butter use olive oil- not so complicated, right? 30 minutes later - despite the kitchen staff not being busy- reminder, we are sitting at the bar and watch the cooks looking at their cellphones instead of working... The small portion of a couple shrimp and scallops arrive. They were panned seared- highly seasoned but tasty. Pasta arrived dry ? Huh? Who serves dry pasta- ugh? I asked for olive oil again which never appeared despite a manager hearing the request. So, moving along, we decided to try the calamari. It came out much faster but the portion was enough for 8-10 people. BT- oh, I forgot to tell you it is such a large portion... Maybe offer a half portion? It was okay- nothing amazing except the quantity. So disappointed- we had high hopes that the vibe matched the food quality.

I had tried a seafood boil from here a while back, and the sauce wasn't as good as what I've had from a local competitor. However, my boyfriend insisted that we give it another try, so we ended up ordering the Kickin Combo #1, along with a dozen raw oysters and an order of fried oysters and fries. The raw oysters came out first. I didn't want any, so they were for my boyfriend. Immediately after trying the first one, he wasn't happy with it. He said it tasted fishy but decided to give another one a try, thinking maybe the first was just a bad one. Unfortunately, the second wasn't any better, so he sent them back. Next came the fried food, which is never a miss. I absolutely love the fried oysters here. Then the seafood boil arrived, and at first glance, it looked promising. The seafood appeared large and fresh. I grabbed a shrimp first, sucked the head, and immediately noticed a strong fishy taste. I then dipped the shrimp into the sauce, but the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. I tried a few of the other items in the boil, including a mussel, but the texture was extremely chewy. Between my boyfriend and me, we ate a total of about ten or less things from the boil before deciding we were done. Unfortunately, it was not good whatsoever, and I was extremely disappointed. I asked if there was anything that could be done, and the manager offered to reheat it. I explained that the temperature wasn't the issue but the fishy taste and the texture of the seafood. He then said there wasn't anything else he could do besides take 20% off the bill. While I appreciated the discount, it was still disappointing given how much of the meal we were unable to eat. The service itself was good, and the ambiance was chill, especially since we went during dinner. Unfortunately, though, the food quality of the seafood boil and raw oysters overshadowed the positives for me. All in all, I won't be returning.

We have visited this location previously and had a great experience with both the service and food, so we were looking forward to returning while visiting the area. When we arrived, we noticed there was a large party being hosted in the private/back party room, which was nice to see that the restaurant is able to accommodate larger gatherings. Our waitress was also very kind, friendly, and attentive, and we appreciated her customer service throughout our visit. There were, however, a few concerns we wanted to bring to management's attention. First, we noticed several desserts sitting off to the side behind us that appeared to be uncovered. We are not sure whether these desserts had been prepared in advance for customers to order, but if that was the case, we strongly recommend that they remain properly covered or protected at all times. With customers and employees walking nearby and insects potentially flying around the restaurant, leaving uncovered desserts exposed does not appear sanitary or appropriate for food service. We also experienced an issue with the temperature of some of our food. Two of our seafood dishes arrived only semi-warm rather than hot and fresh. We ordered the Pappadeaux Platter with stuffed shrimp and fries. Unfortunately, the fries were cold, and the seafood on top was only lukewarm. This was particularly disappointing because we were looking forward to enjoying the seafood while visiting the restaurant. I ordered the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and broccolini, and my entire meal arrived hot. Because my meal was served at the appropriate temperature, we were confused as to why the other dishes were not. We understand that different items may require different preparation times, but customers should receive their complete meals hot and fresh. Our suggestion would be to coordinate the timing of the food preparation, particularly with items such as fries, so that they are prepared as close to serving time as possible. Food should ideally arrive at the table hot and fresh rather than having one component become cold while waiting for the other items to be completed. We did bring the issue to our waitress's attention, and she was very accommodating and provided a $12 credit toward the fries. We appreciated her effort to address the concern. However, the credit did not change the fact that my husband and daughter were unable to fully enjoy their seafood dishes because the food was not served hot. We are sharing this feedback because we have visited this location before and had a great experience, so we know the restaurant is capable of providing excellent food and service. Our goal is simply to bring these concerns to management's attention so they can be reviewed with the appropriate staff. Thank you for taking the time to review our experience. We hope our feedback is helpful and that future visits will provide the quality of food, presentation, sanitation, and service that we experienced during our previous visit.

    I visited on National Oyster Day after being told they served White Stone Oysters, but that was not…read moremy experience. I arrived around 3:00 p.m. and waited more than five minutes to be seated. Since no employee was on the floor, I eventually grabbed a menu and seated myself. It appeared that one employee was handling everything, and to her credit, she apologized for the delay. I ordered a dozen oysters, and many were badly mangled during shucking. Unfortunately, they had very little flavor and were among the most disappointing oysters I've had. Based on the taste and quality, I told the server they definitely were not the White Stone Oysters I was expecting. They were actually Bay Blue Oysters from White Stone Oysters and NOT their flagship oyster, "White Stones," https://www.whitestoneoysters.com On a positive note, the calamari was excellent and was easily the highlight of my meal. Moreover, this was National Oyster Day NOT calamari day :(

It has a great outdoor patio, indoor dining, and a full bar with libations to satisfy every palette. Everything is super clean, from the tables and booths to the floors, and they also offer some fun retail items if you want to take something home. I ordered the Greggah lobster roll warm with their mustard sauce. It came on a top-loaded, buttery toasted bun filled with warm, fresh lobster. Absolute perfection. I also had the crab balls, calamari, and a house salad. The crab balls had a nice spice without going overboard and were served with a flavorful house-made sauce. The calamari was cooked well done, just how I like it--crispy, tender, and not rubbery at all. The sweet and hot sauce they serve it with is divine. The Louie sauce is my personal favorite. They make almost everything from scratch in-house, including the sauces and their slaw. The slaw is cool, creamy, tangy, and sweet--exactly like the kind I grew up eating. The house salad was generously portioned and full of crisp, fresh ingredients, all clearly prepped in-house. I came back the next day for lunch and caught the house-made clam strips special. I got the clam strip basket with sautéed vegetables--same side I had the night before because they were that good. The vegetables are crisp and vibrant, not mushy or overcooked like you sometimes get elsewhere. I also had a cup of clam chowder that was thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. You can taste the coast in every bite. The chain was founded in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, and it still carries that same coastal character. The staff here--bartenders and servers alike--are extremely friendly and helpful, which just adds to the overall experience.

The service was on point with attentive informative and timely interactions. Great cocktails by the bartender always starts off the experience on a high note and the appetizers and mains were over the top. The Cajun crab dip was amazing with lots of crabmeat, parmesan cheese, heavy cream and herbs. It disappeared almost before I could get a pic. One of the specials was a fried lobster. With fries, cole slaw and cocktail sauce. Different and so good. Order it. And the Blackened Redfish was out of this world with dirty rice and crab pontchartrain sauce. Oh my my! Just a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Definitely put this place on your go or go again list.

We were told that they wouldn't seat us until 7pm and that it may be 5 or 10 minutes after that. A little irritating, but not a deal breaker. 7pm comes, 7:05. 7:10. We ask how much longer. We are told they are waiting on tables. Um, ok? 7:15, 7:20, 7:25....finally a table. Why even make a reservation if we aren't seated until 25 minutes after? They take us to our table, a party of 2 mind you, and sit us at a cafeteria style table for 6. There were PLENTY of 2 tops around. People who came in after us were seated at them with no problem. Again, weird, not a deal breaker but getting more irritating. Our waitress came over quickly and was amazing the entire night. Attentive and prompt. She took our drink and app orders. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. It is marketed as upscale. Why did she bring us drinks in plastic cups and say they were out of glasses? Excuse me? I am paying over $200 for my meal to drink out of plastic cups? We get our appetizer and it is delicious. Cajun Crab dip. There is a lot of dip and only a small bread loaf, so we ordered an additional loaf after we ate that one. Our waitress put the order in promptly, but the kitchen never sent it out and she had to go find it. By that time, our app was cold. We still ate it, just another disappointment. Our entrees came out promptly, both of us having ordered the Delmonico ribeye, medium. I added a lobster tail. We both had mac and cheese. I had greens, my husband Brussel sprouts. Neither of our steaks were cooked medium. Both were medium well and tough. $52 steaks, fyi. We had already been there an hour and with all of the other incidents, I was just ready to go. Sides were good, lobster tail was cooked perfectly. To sum it up, long wait even with a reservation, weird seating, plastic cups, forgetful kitchen and over cooked steak. Not quite the upscale dining we are used to with a $225 bill. Great server, great apps, good sides. Overall a disappointing anniversary dinner and would not go back.

When you walk in, you order at the counter, they give you a number, and they bring your food to you. When they are super busy on weekends or event nights, the food can take up to 45 minutes. When you are in the restaurant, it truly feels like you are at the beach based on the ambiance. I always get the Cabo taco with fried chicken and my boyfriend always mixes it up between fried shrimp and the fried fish sandwich. For drinks I always get the Frozè and it's so refreshing! We highly recommend this place. They opened a new location on the beltline about a year ago and I believe they took their Alpharetta manager with them - we miss her because the service was great with her.
