"We went on a Monday night. Wow, it was busy but died off quickly. Our favorite waiter was off on that day (Thomas) but the experience was good. Would recommend if you make reservations to be sure and ask for a booth or a place next to the window. To us they are the best seats in the house."

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"My go-to restaurant in Austin, expensive but worth it for special occasions. The seafood is fresh, delicious and well presented and the wait staff is excellent. The atmosphere is comfortable with enough energy to keep spirits up and yet the noise level allows for normal conversation.One warning,some tables under an air conditioning vent can be drafty."

Review 3 for Eddie V's - Arboretum

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"We went to Eddie V's to celebrate my birthday. Everything about our experience was top-notch! Our waiter (Thomas) took extra good care of us. He was attentive yet not bothersome. We were very impressed with each course that was brought to us. The "Eddie V's Chopped Salad" was very tasty and refreshing. The crab cake appetizer was out of this world! And surprisingly, their macaroni and cheese side dish was one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth! All around terrific experience!"

Review 4 for Eddie V's - Arboretum

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Although we had requested a table at the time we made the reservation, we would have had to wait about 30 minutes for a table to become available. We chose a booth rather than wait although the booth was uncomfortable.

During the meal, a guest came out of a party room and stood right beind our booth talking on a cell phone. Although we asked a hostess to intervene, the guest was allowed to finish his cell phone conversation without interruption. Not a pleasant experience.

Review 5 for Eddie V's - Arboretum

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"We have dined here often and for the first time were disappointed. Reserved a week in advance & mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. Requested a nice table/booth in the main dining room. Our booth was not nice. It was next to a service station & in a busy pathway to serve other tables. There was a large table of diners nearby & our service suffered accordingly. At the end, we were offered dessert menus but not until I mentioned we were celebrating a birthday did our waitress say, oh yeah, your dessert is free. No happy birthday or anything even close. I guess we will cross this one off our list of special places to do."

"We visited Eddie V's Arboretum during Restaurant Week 2010. We are older and enjoyed the quiet of an early evening dinner at 5:30 PM. We could hear one another and the waiter quite well. Every course was delicious and well presented. Our waiter, Thomas, is a real keeper. After visiting several good restaurants during the week, Eddie V's Arboretum was our favorite."

"I've been a fan of Eddie V's since it opened. This time the food was not as good as it used to be. The lobster/shrimp bisque was unimpressive and had a fishy taste. The shrimp diablo was also unimpressive and overcooked. Same goes for the scallops. The best we had this night was the veal chop. The service was competent but pedestrian; not what I expect of Eddie V's. I hope this is not a sign that the place is going doing that hill. Good restaurant in Austin are far a few between."

"As soon as we walked into the restaurant we were overwhelmed by the smell of fish. Not a good start to a meal where you are expecting fresh fish. We decided to stick it out as it was our first visit. We were shown to a nice booth with a view of the Hill Country, but the speakers blared with blues music...not conducive to a quiet,relaxing dinner. The food arrived, and the fish (sole with lemon butter)was thankfully not fishy, and the filet was cooked properly and flavorful, though unseasoned. Salad (apple/beet) was unremarkable, the bisque (lobster) was good, and the creme brulee was excellent and quite a large portion, I might add. Overall, I feel that are other restaurants that would deliver a better meal considering the price paid."

"This was a special dinner for a close friend's birthday. I set up reservations for 4 but our 4th attendee was a surprise, and the fantastic folks at Eddie V's did a wonderful job of making my friend believe there were only three of us for dinner. Needless to say when the surprise guest showed up about 20 minutes after we had been seated, he was blown away that we kept it a secret! Thanks to everyone at the restaurant for perfecting a very important night. After that, the drinks, food, service and overall experience was most definitely outstanding. This is always a sure fire bet for a consistently superior dinner experience."

"Not many restuarants can consistently pull off the combination of excellent food with excellent service and personable waitpersons. I have long heard of the quality of Eddie V's food, and indeed the seafood was as fresh as I've ever had...and that includes Dad bringing in the morning catch when I was a boy. Pricey, but not unreasonably so. In fact, without wine or liquor, very reasonable for the quality and quantity. Also I was taken back to a day in Dallas as a young boy, when Aunt Suzie let me order the lobster at some unnamed chic eatery....Eddie V's reminds me of the elegant 50's restuarant decor I remember from that day. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend EV's to anyone. We especially enjoyed our waitperson."

"We love Eddie V's as a special occasion experience. While it's too expensive for us to go often, that does not mean it is not a good value -- the care devoted to the preparation, presentation, and quality of food and drink make it a great value. The food is excellent, the servers go out of their way to make your experience not just good but great, and there is simply a happy "vibe" to the place. the one thing we don't like is the proximity to dining neighbors -- don't expect to have a confidential conversation here, and do expect to have the opportunity to chat with those around you, because the seating is crowded. But don't let that stop you from enjoying an exquisite dining experience!"

"OK, so I would honestly say that the dinning experience was OK, at best.. first the view was OUTSTANDING, and the overall enviornment of the resturant was LOVELY! however.... When you pay over 200 dollars for a meal you expect things to be perfect,it WAS NOT! Our waitress was nice with a good attitude, although she was not very attentive, and her helpers were HORRIBLE AND RUDE! Our waitress' helper brought us the incorrect appitizer, and when I asked what it was because we did not order it, she chuckled and said OH, then walked off. Anyway, the steak was good, and the MACARONI, was AWESOME! I will say that we will not go back just because if I am going to spend that kind of money I would rather eat at Ruth Chris'"

"Overall, the food was very good and the service was very good. The only complaint I have is the small table we had in the middle of an aisle with chairs that really sank in and made the table almost too high for comfortable dining. We were there the night before Valentine's Day so I understand they were trying to accomodate as many as people as possible. However, the added tables in the aisle made us feel somewhat crowded and the seat height was too low. I should have asked for a booth or regular table as there were many still open. I'm not sure why we weren't seated at an open booth or regular table if they were open."

"Our Appetizers were the Kung Pao-Style Calamari and Maryland Style All-Fresh Lump Crab Cake, Both were excellent. The calamari was a large appetizer and was more than enough for 4 people. I shared the opakapaka with crab with our son's girlfriend and it was crispy and perfectly done. My husband and son both had steaks and they were both very tasty and precisely done. Our sider were the steamed broccoli with Hollandaise and the twice baked potato. Both were excellent. My husband especially enjoyed the potato. For dessert we shared bananas foster and the hot dark chocolate Godiva cake with ice cream. The servers were very good. We will be back!"

"We have dined here at least 10 times.The food was good, as usual....but the service was WAY OFF. Definitely some intital indifference in the bar - waited 10 minutes to even be greeted. Took another 10 to get a drink. We often sat waiting for our next drink - and when my husband's was empty, but I still had one, with an obviuosly empty glass, he wasn't readily offered another one. Weird. We were given a table in the corner (as I requested on the open table reservation) but it was the one in the corner by the silverware and the water where the servers gather. We could hear their conversation, and it was like they were looking over my husband's shoulder. It will be a long time before we go back. Wasn't an awful experience, but not worth the $$"

"I had a very enjoyable experience. The food seemed a little pricey until we had an opportunity to taste it. Well worth the money. We started the meal with a Crab Cake which they advertise as being all crab meat. It really was all crab meat without stuffing filler. For the entree we had Gulf Snapper topped with crab meat and Crab Fried Rice. This restaurant is not afraid to put crab meat on your plate. The staff was courteous and helpful. Complimentary valet parking is available. In all I had a very pleasant evening. I just hope they build a location in the Houston area so the rest of us are not deprived."

Also, Eric, our waiter, was very attentive and ensured that we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The food was mouth-wateringly delicious and the wine was delightful! Way too often, customer service has gone by the wayside, but not true at Eddie V's. This was an incredible experience that we plan on repeating again soon. Thank you to everyone at Eddie V's for making our night such a special occasion!"

"The Food was very good, pricey; $210 for two including tip. but worth it for a special night out. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and extremely courteous. The one thing we did not like at all was the seating. We sat in the area where one person sits on a comfy booth side facing the dining area, while the other is sitting in an opposing chair in the isle, “I stopped counting the number of times I was bumped by passing waiters or guests” facing a boring bare wall. We will go back, but we will request better seating."

"My husband and I went here for our anniversary on Sunday. The food was delicious, and overall our only complaint was that the hostess tried to seat us in probably the worst seats in the restaurant, even though the place was half-empty. The entire table was only slightly bigger than an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper! However it was an easy and prompt fix once we asked for another table.

We will definitely be back, but will not be sitting at a mini table!

"My husband and I went to Eddie V's for my birthday, but did not mention it when we made the on-line reservation. Our server asked if we were celebrating anything special, and he told her it was my birthday. She gave me a dessert on the house and was extremely pleasant. It was presented beautifully with a candle and Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate. I absolutely love the food at Eddie V's, and in my opinion it is the only place in Austin to go for a celebration and intimate dinner (we were at the Arboretum). Thank you for a wonderful dining experience and we positively will be back!"

"Our Christmas Eve dinner was simple amazing. The window table I requested gave us a spectacular view of the sunset that evening. From our wine selection all the way to desert, our service & food were excellent. The staff did an outstanding job of making us feel like the only table in the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant for anything from a casual dinner with friends to a romantic date location. Enjoy."

"Eddie V's - Arboretum continues to be among the very best restaurants in Austin. As we have to come expect the food was excellent. This visit we had the opportunity to be served by Rick whom we found to be that perfect blend of charm, intelligence and attentiveness that adds so much to an already wonderful experience. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a great restaurant in Austin."

"good solid pedestrian food. Nothing noteable, nothing memorable. I wouldnt consider it fine dining by any means but no real flaws in the concept they are going for.
Has the atmosphere and quality one would expect to find in upscale steakhouse chain restaurant, only serving nice quality seafood and steaks.
