Eddie V’s Prime Seafood and Steak

First time to Eddie V’s, best seafood east of California. I will be back many times. Not many seafood restaurants receive their products six times a week in this market.
The ambiance is fantastic as is the service and the live music!

The food was very good. The steak was good, I’ve had better. The scallops were very good. Scallops are tricky to get right. The green broccoli would have been a little better if cut up a little more and not just a bushel on a plate. the atmosphere is dark but private, but I would like to see my food. We didn’t have a reservation but the found a table for us. I recommend reservations. It is pricy.

Great food, busy yet beautiful atmosphere and always exceptional service. Come early or stay late for the live music in the bar. A must stop while in Scottsdale. Linda from Wisconsin

I’ve been hearing good things about Eddie V’s, and after tonight, it definitely did not disappoint ! We made a reservation for a party of four to celebrate our friends’ anniversary. Upon arrival, we told them that we were interested in the happy hour menu, so they set up another table in their lounge/​bar area with no problems. I was glad that we decided to eat in that area, because we were later greeted by the evening’s entertainment. I loved the ambience of the restaurant and the live music that Eddie Vs has everyday was the cherry on top of the icing. The food did not fall far from the tree. From the happy hour menu we ordered:
1. Calamari — it was a generous portion. It came with cashews, julienned carrots, rice noodles, and a kung Pao like sauce. The server warned us that the chili peppers within the dish were quite hot. My boyfriend decided to be the tough guy so he tried it regardless. Let’s just say the spot on his tongue burned for quite awhile, but he denied the milk they offered. The calamari was flavored really well and was not chewy. The batter, although topped with sauce, still remained quite crunchy. I would definitely recommend this dish!
2. Crab cake — we were told that these were the best crab cakes ever. Although it was good, it lacked a little bit of flavor for me, despite the sauce that it came with.
3. Ahi Tuna tartare — this dish came with sesame rice chips. The cubes of tuna tasted very refreshing and paired well with the avocado and mango pieces.
4. Market oysters — Kumamoto oysters on half shell was quite good. They tasted fresh and came with cocktail sauce, horse radish, lemon, and a house sauce.
5. Batterfried oysters — Gulf oysters dipped in batter and fried to perfection. The sauce that came with the oysters gave them a lot of flavor. The oysters were quite meaty.
6. Lobster tacos — 2 tacos per dish. probably my favorite dish here besides the dessert. I would come back specifically for this dish. Although the tacos were slightly on the smaller side, it was well worth the money. Every bite was evenly dispersed in flavor and the lobster pieces were large enough for me to enjoy the texture.
7. Banana foster butter cake with butter pecan Icecream — the presentation of the dessert was as amazing as the taste. The server lit the rum on fire and drizzled it on top of the butter cake and allowed the fire to burn off the rum leaving a crisp layer on top of the slices of banana and cake. I loved the various textures of the cake. The outside was crisp and crunchy and the inside still remained moist. All together, it was wonderful and I would definitely recommend ordering it to end your meal. Although the butter pecan Icecream was good, I think I would have liked if it were paired with vanilla instead to complement yet not overpower the taste of the banana foster cake.
Can’t wait to return again !

We decided to choose Eddie V’s for Restaurant Week and we were not disappointed! Located in Scottsdale Quarter, this restaurant is the best spot to take a date — it’s romantic, classy, dim, and expensive! Our server, Wesley was great. He gave us great recommendations and was extremely attentive and friendly.
The hubby stared with an orange mojito, which was recommended by our server. We had a three course dinner for $ 44/​person and you can include add ons for an additional charge.
For my first course, I had the salt and pepper shrimp. I loved the shrimp! It was exquisite and perfectly cooked. Hubby’s first course was the lobster bisque — creamy, tasty, and big chunks of lobster. The second course — 8 oz filet mignon with Au Gratin potatoes (addl $ 5). Hubby ordered the popular Hong Kong Sea Bass (addl $ 10). Both were rich and full of flavor. The potatoes were so creamy and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Our last course (dessert), I ordered the wild berry sorbet and hubby ordered the bananas foster. The sorbet was ok but the bananas foster was divine so I recommend ordering that!
We had a great time and I highly recommend. Total of our bill: $ 125 not including tip

Was really looking forward to dinner at this restaurant as I have heard such good things. I was very disappointed. My favorite up until now has been Fleming’s. Fleming’s still wins hands down. Never mind the price which is very high. I don’t mind paying but I expect excellent food. The only really good part was the dessert. Appetizer of shrimp salt and pepper was a 1 rating. The Brussel spouts was disgusting and the steak filet was only fair. Service was excellent.
Sorry Eddie V’s, would not recommend you and will not be back.

What a disappointment over all first the server was grate very attentive new the menu on top of everything now the device was very slow took 20 min between ordering none of the food we had was flaverfull very bla I tried pepper shrimp calamari shark none were good the best was the banana foster cake won’t go back any time soon

We dined here for Restaurant Week. I love the value during this event! We eat here on other occasions but you can’t beat the offerings for RW. My hubby and I had the Bisque, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Halibut, Twice Baked and Scrumptious desserts. My only suggestion would be to add a sauce to the Halibut. It was lacking flavor-​though it was exquisitely cooked.

Oh Eddie V… What an experience. I really enjoyed my experience here.
The food was delicious. Service was great. Drinks were well made and the dessert was a great finale to the meal.
Eddie V will be in the rotation from now on. Maybe not all the time but sometimes :) I still need money to live on!

Made reservations through Open Table for the Friday before Mother’s Day at 8:00 pm. Unbelievable how busy it was as we walked in.
Waited at the entry for about 10 minutes as we waited by the V Lounge with great live music.
The atmosphere is very nice with low lighting to add to your experience.
We started off with the Point Judith Calamari which was prepared in a Kung Pao Style with Roasted Cashews and Crisp Noodles. We had the sauce on the side to ensure we did not get our mouth flamed out. Portion was pretty good to share and not too hot.
We ordered the Chilean Seabass which was steamed in a Hong Kong Style Light Soy Broth which was so tender that it just melted in your mouth. This was a nice choice and would recommend.
We also ordered the 34 oz Porterhouse Steak that we shared, that was a monster of a steak and my son and I could not finish. This dish was also a winner being so tender and prepared as requested.
The last entrée was the Bay of Fundy Salmon which was sautéed with Young Vegetables and Maille Mustard Vinaigrette which was also a wonderful dish.
We shared 2 sides, the Broccolini with Lemon and Garlic and the Parmesan and Chive French Fries which were both okay, would prefer to order others next time.
For dessert we had their signature dessert which was the Hot Bananas Foster Butter Cake which was a show and a delite by itself. Our waiter, Brenon, lit the container and then poured the flaming sauce over the butter cake. I have to say if both of my kids are video taping the flaming dessert they were impressed by the presentation. The taste did not disappoint, if you eat here you have to order this dessert. One of the best desserts we have ever had.
Have to say the service was excellent and our waiter Brenon was on top of everything with his recommendations and taking care of us.
What a great experience and meal, would highly recommend and definitely would come back again.

I’ve been to Eddie V’s twice now recently… Both times my experiences have been less that stellar. I’m bummed about it because so many people I know have such amazing things to say about their experiences there. I don’t know if I just went on a couple of off nights, but for their price point I was hoping for a stellar experience.
on both experiences, we encountered hostesses who weren’t friendly and on the second visit got a very snotty comment when I told her my name for the reservation. It took for a good 15 minutes to seat us and explanation as to why we were all standing around.
Service the second time was horrible… We dined on a weeknight and our server was really trying to rush us to turn the table. It was obvious to all of us. We ordered some apps, I loved their Kung Pao Calamari and the chilled seafood tower was delicious as well.
The frustrating thing is that our entrees came out rather quickly after our apps — even though we specifically told our waiter that we were celebrating that evening and to hold our entrée order until we were nearly done with the apps. And to add fuel to the fire, a couple of our steaks were severely overcooked.
He dropped our check without even asking if we wanted dessert. Super frustrating experience.

I booked a business dinner with our bank owners at Eddie V’s, in one of their semi-​private spaces. There was nothing but great things said about the restaurant, the food especially, and the service. Each of our guests had flown in for the meeting, and it really is important for them to have a great dinner to show our appreciation.
Thank you so much Eddie V’s for making this a seamless and positive experience for me and our guests. Much appreciated. I will definitely book another dinner with you.
Thank you!

Really disappointing meal here last Saturday. The service was off, very slow, very long wait for food. The oysters were not good. Very limp and not chilled enough. The salmon was good quality but a dull preparation. Sea Bass, also good quality but not worth the money and too salty.
We usually love the place but not so much this time.

I expected Eddie V’s to be a fairly traditional steakhouse/​seafood experience, but it way exceeded my expectations. In addition to the top knotch service, the food was just delicious and much more inventive than I expected. I had the seared tuna in a sushi/​tempura preparation and it was honestly the best seared tuna dish I’ve ever had. Sides like broccolini were perfectly prepared. Service was formal but attentive and helpful. Seems like a great special occasion or business dinner restaurant, but I would return for sure just for the amazing food!

Eddie V’s where have you been when we’ve been hankering for delicious and creative crab dishes?
This was our last dinner on our Scottsdale journey, and unfortunately we had been eating like we were going to the electric chair. So we decided to go light even though we were surrounded by delicious seafood and steak preparations.
However, everything we had was superb. Our friend raved about the lobster bisque. My wife ordered a seafood salad that had a giant poached prawn along with a generous portion of lump crab.
Two highlights: a true jumbo lump crab cake with very little filler, perfectly seared with a delicious sauce. The wives couldn’t even finish it while sharing with the guys. Then came the crab fried rice, which was full of lump crab, tasty and spicey, better than any Chinese restaurant we’ve been to. It was superb, and we thanked our excellent server Drew for the recommendation.
Our only regret is that we didn’t have bigger appetites, and only scratched the surface of an incredible restaurant. The good news for us, is we found Eddie V’s are also in San Diego, La Jolla and Chicago!
We are already salivating at a visit in the hopefully not too distant future.

This place is a great place to take anyone to make a great impression, with 5 star ambiance and quality food, but your paying for all of it for table cloth fine dining. The Calamari appetizer is one of the best dishes on the menu. The steaks are quality an the service is as well. The lemon drop martini is the best to be had anywhere from east coast to west coast! My only peeve on my dining experience tonight is the speed of which the main course was delivered to the table as we finished our apps with no time to breath. But truly a solid 4 ½ star restaurant! Come with your girlfriend as I did and enjoy!

Ate here for first time this past week while in Scottsdale, totally awesome!
Very romantic spot, darker setting and very very classy
My party ordered a dozen oysters for starters, and they were amazing, great presentation and incredibly tasty
I also got the crab and corn chowder for starters and it was also really good, could’ve been more creamy and less watery broth, but also had impeccable presentation as they serve it you u at the table
My main dish was the scallops and they were phenomenal! Priceless presentation again and great flavor profile, scallops were cooked perfectly and not over-​done
For side dish we got potatoes au gratin and it was also very good, fresh layer of melted cheese on top, yum!
Overall this was the nicest restuarant I have had pleasure of going to in Scottsdale, but the price does reflect that, so be prepared in dig into your wallet
This would be my #1 choice if looking for that wow factor on a date or business meeting… excellent service, setting, and food

I don’t give 5 stars…
This place is awesome! Table service is superb! The food is just top shelf. Looking for a WOW dining experience, this is the place. Old school perfection. We enjoyed three courses and a wonderful selection of wine and tequila. Joey suggested we begin with the crab cake and boy was he right! The shrimp cocktail was as expected, perfect. The Cesar was topped with large shreds of aged parmesan. My filet was prepared with the finest attention. We tossed a curve an ordered a twice baked at the time our entrée was presented, before I was able to slice my first bite, the hastily requested side arrived. Again WOW. We were inclined to to partake in flaming bananas foster and Godiva lava cake. Who cares what the bill is… This place exceeds expectations.

I wanted to try a nice restaurant to finish off a week-​long family trip. Eddie V’s had great reviews so I made reservations for a Saturday night. The interior is upscale. The wait staff is plentiful. The food was good but not over the top memorable (considering the prices). Our waiter was efficient but not the least bit friendly or welcoming. Food:
— Heirloom Tomato Salad — minimal cheese, tomatoes were not memorable
— Lobster tacos — excellent
— Caesar Salad — ok
— Halibut, Salmon — ok
— Bone-​in ribeye — very good
— Eddie V’s Special Rice — too rich
— Truffle mac & cheese — pasta was good but not enough cheese
— Brussels sprouts — over cooked
There are other restaurants we would rather go to if we are going to spend that kind of money.

Nice atmosphere, dark and intimate with a great jazz band playing. Seated at the bar by myself taking it all in, relaxing with my vodka cranberry with a lime… here on business wishing I had gotten here earlier as this outside shopping center is the BOMB!!!
Eddie V’s offers valet parking for $ 5.00, it’s worth just pay when you finish with your fine dining experience.
The bartenders are attentive as you would expect in a fine dining restaurant.
I ordered the crab cake and it was awesome and comes with remoulade sauce. OMG, so much crab and it’s a whole meal in its self. Your meal comes with a warm bread loaf.
If I lived here, yes I do believe I would be a regular here. Classy, relaxing a bit noisy but nice place and worth the money.
