Eddie V’s Prime Seafood and Steak

First, restaurant is not open until 11.
And staff will make sure to let you know that as you arrive.
Didn’t have a chance to eat, but I could feel the rush to close and not serve, and that was a turn off.

Love the ambiance at this place. Very modern. I usually sit at the bar/​lounge area, comfy big tables and cocktail waitresses are nice, helpful with great service. Food is fresh I little too crowded but I guess that’s normal being on restaurant row… other than that all good.

Wow! I was blown away by the ambience and hospitality I received here. Cayla was exceptional and made wonderful conversation with my table. We are here on a business trip and we’re celebrating our lady evening in town together so she took it upon herself to get us a dessert. The banana foster was amazing!!! Come here and hang in the lounge with Cayla!!!

My wife surprised me for my Birthday and took me to Eddie V’s and overall it was a great dining experience. The setup at this restaurant is modern and classy so I would suggest wearing something nice. As we were outside, we ran into Darryl Strawberry, former MLB player who played for the Mets and the Yankees so that was one of the highlights of our dinner. The staff was very courteous and a birthday card was waiting for me at the table which was a nice touch.
I started with the Lobster Bisque which I thought was good but not great. It didn’t have much lobster in it for my taste, a few small chunks but the bisque itself had good flavor. For the main course, I chose Cold Water Lobster Tails which are two 9oz. South African tails and they were on point in terms of flavor! My wife had the Filet Mignon which was flavorful and cooked to perfection, I snuck in a bite, I couldn’t resist! For dessert, we had the «Hot» Bananas Foster Butter Cake which I found to be a bit too rich and dense for my taste. We weren’t able to finish it because of how stuffed we felt so I would suggest something lighter if you’re feeling full after your main course.
Service is top notch! We had multiple servers who made sure we were content and that our drinks were filled. The menu is pricey and comparable to other high end steakhouses but you get what you pay for. For us, Eddie V’s is the type of place for special occasions only and we will certainly be back in the future!

Wonderful restaurant! We were there for my friend’s birthday and the restaurant when above and beyond to make it special. From the rose petal table to the handwritten birthday card it was amazing! The food was spectacular! Our entire party ordered seafood from Swordfish to salmon to lobster. The Sides that accompanied the entries were good too, especially the lobster mash potatoes and crab rice. The only menu item that was very underwhelming was the truffle macaroni and cheese, it left a lot to be desired. I don’t recommend that but everything else we tasted was wonderfully fresh and well prepared.

Everything in this place is perfect, well worth the money. We were celebrating our anniversary and the staff was great, had champagne for us on the table. We ordered the lobster tacos and lobster bisque as Appetizers, both were fantastic. For main course, I had the halibut it is was good but a little light on flavor. My husband ordered the tuna and omg, it was so good. Banana cake for dessert, yum.

This was our first time at Eddie V’s, came on the recommendation of a friend to celebrate our anniversary. We started with the Shell Seafood tower, it has oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, lobster tail and lump crab meat. It was fabulous. We could have stopped there but decided to indulge with the bone-​in ribeye it was cooked to perfection and served hot. Since we were celebrating our server Franchesca recommended the Banana’s Foster. It was a wonderful meal. The service was phenomenal and such a nice ambiance.

So far my favorite restaurant for fine dining in Orlando! I ordered the filet mignon with truffles and foi gras… AMAZING! Best steak I’ve ever had! Crab rice is also to live for! Can’t wait to bring my friends and relatives from out of town to spoil them!

I find Orlando restaurants a bit on the cheesy side — most cater towards tourists.
Eddie’s has top notch food, live music, impressive wine library and EXCELLENT service. Loved it so much that I went twice. I didn’t get the wait person’s name the first night but Samara was amazing. Her timing in checking in was on point, her knowledge of the wines impressive and when I told her I didn’t live the first wine I ordered, she took off the check! Top notch service. I highly recommend it but be sure to make reservations. For obvious reasons, it’s packed!

Eddie V’s is a comfortable sophisticated environment with live music, beautiful view from the table (especially the patio seat outside to watch the sunset) set the tone for an exceptional dining experience.
Choose from a various selection of the freshest seafood dishes (with plenty of seafood), or indulge in the prime center cut steaks.
The wait staffs are attentive. We have been here for many occasion, from a quiet weeknight dinner to a special holiday/​day, they have always make sure we receive the best service.
To sum up, great food, great service, great ambiance. What more can you ask for?

My girlfriend took me to Eddie V’s for my birthday last night and I was absolutely blown away. It was the best food I have ever had, whether price was a factor or not. I had the filet medallions topped with crab, and the hollandaise sauce was the best I’ve ever had.
You will not be disappointed.

Amazing meal & service. This is truly a top notch restaurant. The seafood tower was amazing & well worth every dollar spent. My husband had the 22oz Ribeye with a Lobster Tail & he was in heaven. He said it was easily the BEST surf & turf he’s EVER had ANYWHERE. I had the 8oz butterflied Filet Mignon & it was delicious. We also had the twice baked potato with cheddar, bacon & chives & the sautéed spinach with garlic & fresh parmesan as our sides.
The service was also superb. Our waiter Alfredo was a true professional. He offered suggestions & was very knowledgable about the menu. The manager Mark was very appreciative of the praise we gave him at the end of the night and so was Chef Gilbert. They even have complimentary valet parking! We will definitely be back whenever we are back in Orlando.

Hands down one of the best seafood restaurants in Orlando! The food was amazing and the seafood was so fresh. Great ambiance as well. Below is the lowdown on what we ordered.
Yellowtail sashimi: this literally melted in my mouth. It was so light and flavorful that it left all of us wanting another piece.
Fried oyster: good flavor and delicious. One oyster was perfect.
Crab cake: a bit on the dry side but definitely fresh crab meat and a good size.
Grilled shrimp crusted with crab meat: I can not even begin to describe how delicious this main course was. The shrimp was grilled just right and the crab meat coating the shrimp was amazing.
Chilean sea bass: my friend ordered this and it came highly recommended by the waiter. The fish looked very light and definitely generous portion size. My friend was very satisfied with her order and not overly stuffed
Brussels sprouts: this was a great side to complement our main courses
Crab fried rice: great flavor. We thought we ordered too much crab but it wasn’t the case at all. Another side dish I would definitely recommend
Even though this place is a chain, I highly recommend coming here if you want some good seafood.

What a memorable meal. My boyfriend and I sat at one of the tables overlooking the lake by the bar area, with a live jazz band playing the sweetest renditions of today’s greatest hits — ambiance can’t get any better than that. While the food itself was delicious, the live music here this night was amazing. Great way to close our last night in Orlando.

Worthy of every single five star review on here, and one of the best fine dining experiences I’ve ever had.
The hostess and waitstaff were all very professional, courteous and informative. They knew what they were out of, how their cocktails are made and gave us personal recommendations.
But the 5 stars are purely for the food. We started with the breaded fried oysters that came out to our table straight from the fryer apparently. My wife had the mushroom arugula salad which was unique and delicious as I went with the standby lobster bisque.
I decided to skip the seafood for dinner and went with the 12 ounce delay. Perfectly seared, soft and buttery inside and cooked to my rare ask.
For dessert our group split the Godiva hot chocolate cake and the blackberry cobbler, both of which we finished in 5 minutes flat.
Free valet is a nice touch, and even with a packed restaurant on a Tuesday it wasn’t too loud.

Excellence! Food, amazing. Service, amazing. Quality, amazing. Overall AMAZING!
We went on a Wednesday evening and it was really loud but we still had a great romantic evening.
I am a huge moscato drinker and they only had one on their wine list. (Which wasn’t that great) BUT I was so distracted by the amazing food that I didn’t really mind. Their Truffle Mac n Cheese is a must try. They also offer complimentary valet parking so take some cash to tip. The valet gentleman was running to get cars to ensure the guests weren’t standing outside in the cold weather. Very sweet of him.

This place has it all — great food, great service, and an excellent view (in front of the lake). We came here for Magical Dining as it allowed us to sample many of their signature dishes via the prix fixe menu. The food quality was amazing and I see how it is rated higher than Capital Grille — part of the same family of restaurants. The service was attentive and I never had an empty water glass more than a couple minutes — spectacular.
We had an issue with steak temperature and it was quickly remedied with a new one within a couple minutes — unbelievable!
Will definitely return!

When a lady is asked where she wants to go out to eat and her reply is, «some place nice». The rest is in your hands, yes?
A couple of months ago my husband did just that and he delivered. Hands down.
I love surprises, do you?
The food was great!!! Everything was delicious and left a lasting impression. I’m looking forward to going back with friends.
The atmosphere was exactly what I wanted — live pianist, laughter from other tables, service that was impeccable, wine that tasted divine, lighting just right for a date night, and noise level just about average. Perfect.
He made reservations for us which is highly recommended but there was a little mix up when we went to check in. They booked us for the following Saturday night. After realizing their error they quickly handled the mishap and got us a seat right away, with many apologies showered on us. (There is no better feeling than a place of business taking responsibility for an occurrence and finding a solution immediately.)
Eddie V’s is pricey but worth every bit of the cost. I felt that the service matched the price and that I’m willing to pay for.

A great spot for Seafood and relaxation or to celebrate with friends or loved ones.
I called ahead to make a reservation, that is suggested if you don’t want to wait when you arrive. We had a party of four with one child. They do offer some kids options but it is a fancy spot so keep that in mind if you are looking to bring a child.
First of all, the servers, WOW! They were so awesome and moved hella fast. Truly appreciated the suggestions and bright personality of the gentleman serving us.
For wine, I sipped on the 2013 H3 Cabernet Sauvignon — and it was delicious; a bold Cabernet opens with flavors of black cherries and blackberries with a touch of currants and vanilla, complemented by earth and mineral notes. Deep berry flavors lead to a soft tannin cocoa finish. I could have had a whole bottle on my own but I left room for massive amounts of food!
I went with the Caprese salad to start and it was so fresh and they did not skimp on the tomato or cheese. It was drizzled with the perfect amount of EVO and Balsamic.
For my main entrée I chose the Chilean Sea Bass Steamed Hong Kong Style with Light Soy Broth — wow! What a choice piece of fish and it was cooked to perfection. It sat on a bed of spinach which was a great compliment to the soy broth.
For the table, we ordered two additional sides with our Entrees:
— Crab Fried Rice with Mushrooms and Scallions — Can I say this fried rice was divine? YES! Fried rice that is divine. I have to say, this side dish was the highlight of the meal. I am so thankful our server said it was a favorite because I would have skipped right over it on the menu. It was buttery, velvet heaven and it paired perfectly with the Chilean Sea Bass.
— Truffled Macaroni and Cheese — it came out topped with sliced mushrooms, yum! It was cheesy and melted in my mouth. Great choice.
Everything really was delectable! I would absolutely return for a special occasion. The only note I would say is it’s a huge open dining area with great windows but it all makes for a pretty loud surrounding.
Other notes:
— Complimentary valet is the only parking option unless you want to trek across the parking lot. This is a hopping parking lot with tons of restaurants so just take advantage of the valet.
— Nightly LIVE entertainment in the lounge. Check the calendar for who is playing:

Best seafood I’ve had in a while. This place is pretty pricey but the quality of the food makes it so worth it. Here’s a breakdown of my 3-​course meal :)
— OYSTERS: These were so so so good. We got 2 different kinds of oysters (I forgot what they were called), 6 of each. Both types were equally flavorful, one was slightly saltier than the other, which I preferred. They were prepared well and the oysters easily came out of the shell. I was very satisfied! Each oyster is $ 3, I believe.
— SEA BASS: Omg. This was heavenly. The chunk of sea bass that you get is huge! This dish has an asian flavor to it. The sauce that it’s served on is soy sauce based, and in my opinion, went perfectly with the fish. It’s a light sauce, so it complements rather than overtakes the flavor of the sea bass. To me, it tasted very similar to those steamed fish dishes you get at Chinese restaurants. It was beautifully presented as well. The fish itself was so so tender, and there were no bones at all. Best best seafood dish I’ve had in quite some time.
— BANANAS FOSTER: This is one of their most popular desserts. I came here to celebrate my graduating from college and after telling our server that she came back with the dessert menu and said I could pick whichever dessert I wanted and it would be on the house, which was so so nice of them! The bananas foster came on a large plate (with «congrats» written at the top), and they poured a flame over the dish before they put it on the table. The top of the dessert caramelized perfectly. I loved the ice cream that went along with it, and the bananas were delicious! Highly recommend giving this dessert a try, as long as you like bananas. It is very sweet, though, but I didn’t mind.
Overall, my 5-​star rating for this place comes not only from the food, but from the customer service as well. The entire staff did a great job in making sure that we had a great experience at Eddie V’s, and we definitely did. Next time I’m in Florida I’ll be coming back here for sure.
