    Fried rice was not bad, just a little bland for me. I'm sure if I had not eaten anything for days, it would've tasted amazing.

    $7.63 buys you a lot of bad food. I should have taken the hint when I walked in and not a soul was in sight, not even the employees.

    Went to Eddie's to meet for a family birthday so it was a party of 11 on a Sunday afternoon (1:30)…read more I was impressed that we were able to be seated right away since they don't take reservations. The place was busy but soon started clear of the lunch crowd. Turns out It was actually a nice time to go. Our server was Riley and she took good care of us. The menu is extensive so be prepared to be indecisive. Everything looked really good though. Some items we got were better than other unfortunately. Fish and chips- the fish was plentifully but the batter was hard and not seasoned well and the tartar sauce was not tartar sauce. Burger and fries- missing seasoning Seafood platter- seasoning was a miss Hush puppies- more flour than cornflour so a soft puppy and again seasoning was off. Zuppe di Pesci- excellent pasta, sauce was salty and seafood was cooked great. Kids tenders- good Overall, the experience was good. Would return and try different things. Wish the seasonings were on point but perhaps it was the time of day but we can try again.

I'm from Chicago and Bob Chinn's does 10 times this business and yeah, it's a cattle herd, but you get top service , THE freshest food , and every amenity other than luxury! Eddie's, STEP UP! BTW. It was Sunday and super NOT busy! Stuffed olives only take a 4.00 an hour school intern to make 1000! Shotty fucking excuse! "We're too busy!" Thank god you are as 80% of your competitors close from SHITTY service!

And WHAT A MEAL. Explains why it's tough to get in! We arrived early for our reservation and were seated in the bar (which we like) rather than the main dining room. A little slow to start (perhaps we threw off their rhythm)...but went on for a great meal. Nice selection of reasonably priced and interesting wines by the glass. We started with the crab dip which is served with a lot of delicious focaccia. Truth is, that might have been enough...but we continued! She had the scallops, and I the swordfish. Both really outstanding. The swordfish in particular was impressive -- sizable and thick filet that was, nonetheless, not dry in the least. It's pricey. It's hard to get in to. And that's because it's really, really good. We'll be back for sure.

I visited here over the holiday and was immediately excited, as the entrance provides a view into the kitchen, so you're able to see how precise every cook is about the food that's being served. We were seated towards the back which provided a more intimate vibe - much appreciated. Our server was pleasant and well-informed on both the history of the place and the food menu. As other reviews have pointed out, it's a seafood spot but you have options if your tastebuds call for something else. From the oysters to the main dish - EVERYTHING was great! I've put this place on my list of spots to keep in rotation, because it sincerely is that good! Make a reservation and go check them out!

Having never been there we relied on the server and he came through! He said he got us and surprised us with all amazing dishes from the apps to the main. Had the oysters - both steamed and Rockefeller and both were delicious! Awesome choice! For the entree my buddy had the stuffed cod and he said it was good! He also had the lobster risotto and the lobster loaded mashed potatoes. He said everything was amazing! I had the fried lobster and shrimp with the lobster bisque. The bisque was good with slightly too much sherry but after awhile you didn't even notice. Good sized chunks of lobster throughout an silky smoothie! Fantastic! The fried liver and shrimp were breaded and cooked perfectly! Nothing dry and everything perfectly moist. This place is a must try! If you're in the area and hesitant, don't be. It's fantastic! Great food and great vibes!

    I made the mistake of giving this place a THIRD try but it was not a charm. Based on the reviews I…read morewas sure I just had it wrong but this place is terrible. The food cannot be fresh. It looks like something direct from US Foods and thrown in a fryer. The service and the restaurant policies are so opposite of customer focused. They do not have outdoor service even though they have about 15 tables out. Apparently those are for "waiting" for an inside table. We brought our dog so planned to sit outside as we had done before. No longer an option but you can order to go. I was exhausted so and just wanted a nice dinner I didn't have to cook so I ordered to go. However, you cannot eat your food at their "waiting" tables. After we received our to go order I was told I had to move to a different area to eat the food: All of though the tables outside were open. The hostess should get an award for smiling while being so rude. Oh and someone came in with a service dog that was questionable at best; however, the person showed the service dog card at which point the hostess asked what service the dog performed (has she heard of HIPPA?). Find another place if you want good food or service.

Located right on Lake…read moreNorman, the scenery is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here--it's the kind of place where the sunset almost makes you forget you're reading a menu the size of a phone book. The inside was decorated in a fun lake theme! Red flag alert: the menu is massive. I'm a firm believer that no kitchen can master everything from A to Z, and Toucan's kind of proves the point. It was "just okay," maybe as much as good but not quite GREAT but the Shrimp Platter actually held its own! The shrimp were huge, well-seasoned, and the rice and beans were a surprising highlight. The real MVP of the night, though, was our waitress. Managing a party of 15 is usually a recipe for disaster, but she was a total pro. Every order was correct, the food arrived hot, and our drinks never hit empty. Go for the lake vibes and the stellar service, stay for the shrimp, but maybe keep your expectations for the rest of that giant menu in check. A solid choice for a big group outing! We would return for sure next time we'll try a !

They do take reservations, but there is also bar area seating that is open to first come first served. We did have reservations and they were quick to seat us. The main dining area has a good amount of seating they also offer private dining areas for small groups or parties. Not certain which part front or back nine it sits on but the back of the establishment has a spectacular view of golfers out there doing their thing. Now to the food, drinks on point, food is delicious and came to the table at a very good temperature. We both had the filet and OMG the burnt cheese topping was something so amazing that you'd just have to experience it for yourself!
