In Austin for a conference and despite all the great restaurants here, had such a fabulous meal in the lounge enjoying the fabulous food and live music, we went back the following night and sat at the bar and enjoyed our meal there! Filet was delicious as was the tuna tartar for an appetizer with a wonderful ceasar salad! Martini... More

Had dinner twice - once was Chilean Sea Bass, one of the best meals I've had. Cooked perfectly. Next night had the rib eye, not as good as the sea bass and overcooked. Great service and atmosphere.

This lovely room gave the impression that the place might have rather stuffy service, but that was not the case. The service was relaxed, but attentive. The crowd ranged from couples to business people to large family groups with small children. The overall noise level is pretty high, so you didn't really hear anything in particular from any other tables.... More

My business partner and I were staying out at the airport hotel and where looking for a good meal to unwind a long day. Hotel staff kept recommending places that did not have good TripAdvisor ratings, so we took a flier on Eddie V’s based on the reviews. . . .and we were very glad we did. First great choice... More

You know when you go there it will always be great -- with no ugly surprises! Dined there last night with about 8 people for business, service is the best. We shared the hot seafood appetizer, fabulous flavors. The crab fried rice is a hit with everyone. Great wine selection as well. The beef is tender and first class. One... More

Loved this restaurant...we got a table at the bar. The live music - jazz night - was wonderful. The food was exceptionally good, I had the scallops and my friends had meat and fish dishes. All were delicious.

This place is near perfection. If you are looking for a good night out this is a great choice. Everything was really tasty. I loved their fried shrimp, they were a GREAT size. The setting is great and the staff is wonderful. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was it was really chilly inside. Other than that it... More
