My husband and I had our tenth anniversary dinner here.Overall, the food was a definite win, but there were other areas that definitely needed improvement. We were seated at a table next to the manager who was on their phone watching videos, and interacting with the staff. I found it strange that the manager was sitting out in the open with guests around and eating food and drinking wine.He didn't seem that welcoming and friendly and from my experience at higher end restaurants is that managers will come out and ask patrons if everything was going ok.Service seemed to be lacking and I think the managers presence made the staff nervous. Little mistakes were being made like not being brought bread, having to ask twice for a dessert menu, and overall just a weird vibe in the restaurant.I have to give kudos to the kitchen for totally blowing it out of the park with the food. It was honestly the best meal I've had in a while. My steak was done to perfection and the Peanut butter cup that was made for our dessert was amazing.I just wish the service and vibe was better.

In honor of Dine Out Boston, I had to experience Eddie Merlot's. The food, service, and atmosphere was exactly what I needed on a Monday evening. The Filet mignon was yummy. But, the creme brulee stole my heart. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

... perfect late night meal! I sat at the bar, and I had a salad and the oyster rocker fella. Both were delicious!!! The oysters were perfectly seasoned/prepared and delivered hot and fresh. The salad was chilled, fresh and crispy. I also had the Blueberry Mojito... it was perfect, not too sweet, with just the right amount of alcohol (... not stingy). The bartender (Davion???) was friendly, pleasant and professional! Again, my drink was perfectly prepared, and my order (w/several special requests) was delivered exactly as ordered! I am a diner with high expectations when spending my hard-earned dollars... Eddie Merlot's exceeded my high standards, and I WILL return whenever in Boston!

Last Friday evening, I was at the bar. NoKoa was the bartender, recommended the Trio of Medallions, he was very attentive and had a wonderful personality. Everything was great, I’ll be back.

Went here for new years and what a mistake. The waiter was unbelievably rude I’ve never experienced anything like it in my life. Was over charged $25 and the manager told me it would be corrected yet it still was not. Tried contacting again only to not be able to reach manager. Just absolutely awful experience. Now I still need to reach out to my bank to get my money back.

Visited my best friend in Boston and he took me to Eddie Merlot's. Amazing food and service from Nakoa!We had the filet pot stickers, king crab legs, and some oysters. All I highly recommend. Great quality and great atmosphere. Will be back next time I am in town and will be requesting to sit with Nakoa for sure :)

Service was good, drinks were delicious, but asked for medium well steak, and it was overcooked, plus was given the 16 oz steak when I ordered the 12 Oz. Otherwise, I will go back again.

Took my wife here for Valentine’s Day. This place is very unorganized and I felt my server was drunk. Several guest complained throughout the whole night. Manager never came to check on us place was a disaster. The food was horrible and I was charged for items I never received. For the money we paid it’s was a low performing establishment.

Chose this restaurant after looking at the menus for several steakhouses in town specifically for the ribeye. Ordered a ribeye medium and it came well. Second time it came it was half fat. Actually had to cut around in it to find meat pieces vs fat. Would have sent it back again but at that point we were the last diners in the restaurant and the rest of the party was completely done eating before that 2nd ribeye had come out. The rest of the food was excellent, but the poor quality ribeye at a steakhouse was a big disappointment.
