The service was great! The drinks were decent. I tried the Mosquito and the Berry White ( get the Berry White!) The food was just ok. The king crab and corn bisque was a bit curdled and turned my stomach later that night. The crab cakes, seabass and steak were ok. The sweet potato casserole and banana foster were delicious. read more

Perfect fine, very reasonably priced steakhouse here in Boston. I was a little disappointed to not see any local options on the menu given that Boston is known as a seafood town. I had the Mojo Scallops &!Shrimp and it was cooked well and had a lot of flavor. Steaks that colleagues ordered looked good and were said to be good. The peanut butter cup dessert was not particularly sweet. Service was very good, of the stealthy and non-obtrusive variety which was perfect for our business meeting; thanks Koa! Ambience was very normal for a steakhouse, though the seats were shockingly rigid and upright in a way that felt downright unpleasant, like I was sitting in a church pew that had some padding. Maybe I have just been to a few too many high end steakhouses recently, but this place was good but nothing jumped off the menu at me as "you must try this!" or really blew my mind, but it was still really good for the category and did everything right.

This was our first time at the restaurant. We had high expectations that were quickly dashed starting with service... we ordered drinks and then went to order dinner and they were out of 8oz filet...how does a steak house run out of steak? We waited for 30 minutes for the salad and when it finally came we were also served the rest of our dinner. The steak was sub par and the garlic mashed tasted like oatmeal. The waiter the entire time was no where to be found until he presented us with the check. Suffice to say we will not be back. read more

My girlfriend and I were excited to attend Eddie Merlot's for our Valentine's Day dinner. Unfortunately, her steak medallions were severely undercooked to the point that they were inedible. When we showed the manager, he suggested that we take the medallions home and cook them ourselves. He then offered us a free dessert to go. The table next to us also appeared to send back an undercooked meal, but their evening was ultimately comped in full. I'm unsure why we received different treatment, but I find it extremely difficult to justify paying $60 for severely undercooked steak. The service and setting were fine, but it seemed they forgot about us at times. UPDATE: I received a $100 gift card from management at this restaurant. While I appreciate this gesture of accountability, it'd cover less than half of another evening here with dinner, drinks, and a reasonable gratuity. Considering my experience with the service and undercooked meal, I am still fairly unlikely to return. read more

Food is outstanding. However, the service and atmosphere were lacking. Chowder, scallops and strip steak some of the best. Inside air temp very warm and uncomfortable. Restaurant was not busy at all and service was inconsistent. Soup was brought with no spoon until 5 minutes later. Server forget dinner wine. Presenting a wine glass with finger inside is unacceptable. read more

Food was excellent, atmosphere was great and the server and staff we very friendly and professional. Overall a very top notch experience.

Visited this location for a friend's birthday. We had a larger party (20 people) and the service was not great. I should mention I've been to a steakhouse with a party of this size and had amazon service and food. The night started with kabobs which were great but the nice declined from there. One of our friends ordered a lemon martini (twice) and she never received her drink. The five course meal we had starter with a skimpy caesar salad. The meal was followed with an entree. The steak was lukewarm and overcooked. The asparagus had no seasoning and was cold. The waiters who were attending to our food did not clear the table between courses or offer new silverware to our party. One of our guests asked for salt and never received it. I would not visit this restaurant again. The service and food left a lot to be desired. This was an overpriced experience. read more

Eddie Merlot's - 6 oz filet mignon, asparagus, and potatoes - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

"OH WOW" -- is what I kept repeating as I was eating the best steak of my life!! I've been to a lot of high end steakhouses in and outside of Massachusetts, but the chateaubriand I had here takes the cake of my favorite steak EVER. My husband and I came here for his birthday and we ordered the "chateaubriand for two," medium-rare. It was the most perfect medium-rare I've ever had at any restaurant; not raw at all nor over-cooked, just silky-smooth velvety steak that you don't even need teeth to eat. The flavor and texture was just incredible. Our side dishes were much more average - creamed spinach that had great flavor but was not as "creamy" as I prefer and mashed potatoes that were good but nothing special. BUT THAT STEAK!! It was worth every penny/calorie. The chateaubriand is definitely a must-try for steak lovers - highly recommended! read more

Eddie Merlot's walking in was very cold the front desk did not seem to be welcoming. They treated me like an outsider. Sitting down I was placed in a two person table as that was a most fitting spot for me. I ordered the sixty south salmon as a project to find the best salmon I could in Boston. Having the name Eddie Merlot meant that I would receive something of high quality and unique. Although as I would find out would be quite the opposite being that I received something that was terrible and did not fit the standards of the restaurants name. My waiter Anthony was passive and seemed out of place. They two treated me like an outsider for which is why their restaurant was mostly empty. The worst part about Anthony was him chasing me out the door for a bigger tip. Although tips are optional I gave them a good tip but he thought it was appropriate to chase me telling me tip more. Which was totally inappropriate and unmannered. The whole Eddie Merlot experience was a terrible joke that no one should go here. Be advised by their name for now this location should be revised to fit their standards or be shutdown. As for a medium end restaurant there should be a great amount of detail and mannerisms involved. read more

Read as 3.5 stars. Upscale dining, extensive wine and liquor menu, and all the classic dishes of a steakhouse offered. Oysters and filet mignon were excellent. Placed 2 orders for the potstickers, while the first order came out with plenty of sauce the 2nd order came out with hardly any sauce. The crab and corn chowder had no crab and tasted heavy of butter and cream and not much else - hard pass. I think this is somewhat of a new restaurant and really want to give it a chance, hence the somewhat higher rating. The service was a heavy miss and I am unsure if it is because they are understaffed but some of the basics expected at a fine dining establishment were missing. Plates, glasses and extra placement were not cleared, we weren't asked if we wanted another round of drinks, server did not pay attention to the orders so we had to flag him down for missing items - the list goes on. I really hope this establishment addresses some of the issues of growing pains, it does have a lot of potential. read more

When I saw that this restaurant had A5 wagyu beef from Japan, I had to try this place out. This month, I ordered some takeout from this restaurant. I got the filet mignon potstickers, Eddie's clam chowder, Miyazaki A5 wagyu new york strip(4 oz), macaroni and cheese, and the peanut butter cup for dessert. The filet mignon potstickers were good but the clam chowder was too watery for my taste. The A5 wagyu beef was a total disappointment. The meat was very chewy. The accompanied seaweed also had a very fishy smell. The side of macaroni and cheese tasted better. Out of all the things, the peanut butter cup tasted the best. It was like peanut butter mousse in between two layers of graham cracker crust with caramel and chocolate ganache and a side of whipped cream. read more

Visited the seaport for a weekend and not having done my research, we quickly found out you must make reservations everywhere we stopped. Luckily for us, we found Eddie's Marlot! Our dining experience was outstanding, we loved everything about it, ambient, drinks, food & service. We sat in the back, it was nice and quiet perfect romantic dinner for two. Their wine selection is insane! If you're into wine it's a must. Our server Juan was awesome. He was very attentive to us and all his tables as fat as we could see. I just can't say enough about how delicious our meal was from the appetizers to the main course to finally coffee and the dessert. Be advised, excellent food, wine and service comes at a high price, but so worth it... read more

Visited here for dinner over the holiday season and really enjoyed it! We sat in the lounge (by the bar), which was a little more laid back (Celtics game playing on several TVs) than the other side of the restaurant. The tableside bread is delicious!!! Very warm and fresh, seasoned well and served with salty butter. For apps we ordered the filet mignon potstickers and the Maryland crab cakes. I thought the potstickers were average, but the crab cakes were excellent. They were FULL of crab (minimal breading), and went perfectly with the Cajun remoulade on the side. I ordered the trio filet medallions (Oscar style, peppercorn sauce, and bacon Gorgonzola). I thought all 3 pieces were tender, temperature was perfect, and had unique flavor profiles- I don't think they're 4 oz each though (you'll be able to eat it all, was NOT a full 12 oz). Service was great, the atmosphere was fun and lively for a Friday night, I would definitely return here. read more

It was a merry Christmas dinner at Eddie Merlot's! We had reservations but still had yo wait about 10 minutes and we asked to be seated in the lounge area because the hubs wanted to watch the basketball game on lol! They brought bread to the table - it was a round fluffy loaf cut into quarters- very soft and warm and had some seasoning on it and came with softened butter. Was really fresh and tasty thought I could've done without the extra seasoning. I ordered the South story salmon (cedar plank roasted) which came with a side of green beans and fingerling potatoes. Apparently this was Antarctic salmon which was very interesting! I've had Atlantic, Norwegian, even Alaskan salmon but Antarctic is a first for me. I had visions of penguins among the fishermen as they were fishing the salmon lol! But the hubs said it was probably salmon that swam up and were fished along South America. Well who knows! It tasted great is what I definitely know ha ha! Perfectly cooked not overdone at all as sometimes salmon can be overcooked or sometimes one end is perfect tender but as you get through it the texture gets more tough and I get tired of eating it. This one was perfect through and through! I also liked that it came with a wedge of lemon and I squeezed that over everything and it brightened up the flavors. I had to add a few twists of fresh ground black pepper just coz it was really mildly seasoned. The green beans were cooked perfect crisp tender and the potatoes were just right too. I really enjoyed this dish thoroughly from start to finish - mmmm yummy!! The hubs ordered the filet mignon and a side of broccoli and he thought it was tasty. The broccoli was perfectly cooked too. Service was great from the hostess to the waiter. Our waiter was especially nice didn't catch his name. The decor is great very tasteful with artwork on the walls and Christmas decor of course. The lounge can get a bit cold when the door opens and closes but it wasn't too bad. Overall a great dinner with warm service on a cold Christmas night. Great experience, highly recommend! read more

It took 2 1/2 hours just to get a salad. Then another 30 minutes for the entree and yet another 20 minutes for dessert. Absolutely not worth the price! Skip it. read more

The restaurant is located in the Seaport area (parking can be difficult but there is a pay-for-parking lot nearby.) We were welcomed as soon as we entered. Although we arrived about 30 mins early for our reservation, we were seated immediately. There are several dining areas; the room where we were seated is lovely. The decor is attractive and seats are comfortable. I was especially happy to see that tables are not "on top of each other"; it was easy to move a chair back to go to the restroom (restroom was clean and mouthwash with little cups was offered to patrons) without bumping into other diners. Our server, Given, was delightful: very knowledgeable about the menu, attentive without being overbearing and friendly. The food! What a nice surprise. Everything we enjoyed was cooked to perfection, aesthetically pleasing and delicious. We ordered their Hot Appetizer Platter: Barbecue Shrimp, Crab Cakes, Filet Mignon Potstickers. Easily served the four of us. Two of us ordered blackened salmon and two ordered filet mignon. Both entrees were served with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus spears. Prior to our entrees, some of us enjoyed Jumbo Crab & Corn Bisque (filling & rich) and others enjoyed salads. Everyone agreed that their items were tasty. The serving sizes were a bit large; we all had leftovers that Given packed up nicely. Everything she did was done with care. Felix, the manager, stopped by to check on us and we were happy to let him know that we plan to return. Felix was personable and we were glad to meet him. Honestly, all of the staff indicated that they were invested in making our meal thoroughly enjoyable and they were successful. read more

I dined here for a birthday outing. The cedar plank sixty south salmon was delicious. The Caesar salad was very fresh. The creme brulee was also delicious. I ordered two drinks the blue berry mojito and rose punch. The rose punch was my favorite of the two. The service was very nice. We went on a Tuesday night so it wasn't busy at all which allowed for a quiet evening. We had a single window facing table as well which made for a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend. Eddie Merlot lives up to the hype indeed. read more

Great ambiance and food. Service was just ok. Chilean sea bass was very well cooked and seasoned. Lobster mashed potatoes were worth it. Filet Del Mar was also pretty good. My husband enjoyed his espresso martini. My son enjoyed the filet and house made chips from the kids menu. Dessert was very generous in portion size and it was out of this world. The chocolate cake was very chocolatey and dense. It could have fed all three of us. The turtle cheesecake was enough for two and also very rich and delicious. read more

This is our go-to restaurant, and we've been to this location countless times. The food is consistently great, and the service is good. However, one funny observation: the store manager started out as a very friendly and welcoming person, but after being trained by a senior manager with a colder demeanor, the store manager's attitude shifted. It seems the senior manager might have influenced him to adopt a less warm approach, possibly to avoid customers taking advantage. To be honest, we've visited dozens of steakhouses, and we've never taken advantage of any of them. A warm and welcoming attitude is what keeps customers coming back. We loved the store manager during his first week because of his friendliness, but his demeanor changed after following the senior manager's advice. Unfortunately, it was bad advice. The senior manager's outdated approach is not suitable anymore, and it's doing more harm than good. He should focus on sharing his experience without passing along a negative attitude. A welcoming environment is key to customer loyalty. read more

Great night at Eddie Merlot's. Had great drinks at the bar before dinner. Then got a great table just outside the bar. Service and food was top shelf. Had dinner at Davios the night before that was great. I would prefer Eddie's Merlot for the ambiance, a little more quiet so you can hear your conversations and the service was top shelf. Look forward to coming back. read more

First of all, the bread came out hot and fluffy. There is a prix fix menu for 2. Prix fix comes with salad, entree, and dessert. The portions of salad was so huge, it could be an entree by itself. Family chose the filet mignon as their entree and loved it. I'm not a fan of filet mignon and did not go with the prix fix menu. I chose to have the rib eye instead. It was the BEST rib eye I've ever had. The piece was not too thick and perfectly cooked. I chose medium heat. The marbling of the steak was what made it so juicy. There were no huge pieces of fat that I had to cut out. It was all steak. Sauces are additional charge. I chose the creamy horseradish $3. It went well with the steak. It was interesting to not see steak sauce or BBQ sauce on the menu. Cedar plank salmon was cooked to perfection. It was not dry at all. Planning to come back in couple of weeks to celebrate another family birthday. I'm looking forward to that rib eye again. Yummy! read more

Came here for restaurant week. It was not great. I would never come back honestly. There just isn't anything noteworthy other than the fact it's a steak restaurant, and they grossly undercooked my steak AND forgot to add the 15$ worth of sauce and crab I chose to add on top. I had to send it back. The steak was of course great quality but nothing special/ under seasoned. The drinks were good. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside and the chairs were super comfortable. When you have places like capital grille around, I can't imagine this will last. Sorry Eddie ! read more

Chris was our attentive, fun waiter. The staff was really wonderful. The fois gras was prepared perfectly but on top of a well doused French toast for some reason. Figs, raspberries, blackberries, maple syrup danced around the plate. Sauterne wine plus fois gras equals decadent indulgence! Because Alan Wong restaurant in Honolulu have closed due to the flu, we were delighted to have this treat once again. The best carrot cake in the world? Well, perhaps not the greatest but large, moist, dense, not too sweet and worth the cost. We will be back to enjoy this place, again. read more

Exceptional service. My whole party enjoyed the experience. We had reservations For a party of two, and they accommodated us with a last minute change for a party of 3.

We have another steak house entry in the market... and it's a serious player. We had a fantastic dinner here and look forward to returning. Parking is tight in the Seaport area... no problem here, park in the huge parking structure next door, validate ticket at the restaurant with a sticker... $15. They did a fine job with the decor and tabletop, definitely presenting a high end feel. Service, our waiter was Ben, is attentive and management is present on the floor. Very comfortable space.... and the bar area is really nice too. The Chow: Sweet & Spicy Shrimp... very good, perfect for sharing. Oysters Rockefeller... my wife wasn't thrilled. French Onion Soup... excellent, broth on the sweet side. The highlight of the night... The Chateaubriand for 2... a 20 oz. center cut beef tenderloin that was perfectly cooked and sliced at the table. Ordered MED and came out more of a Med Rare... the quality was so good it didn't matter... was great! Mac & Cheese... good. Mashed Potatoes... great. Brussel Sprouts... great. The mac and the mashed were on the small side by steakhouse standards. Creme Brulee for dessert was a nice rendition. Wine list is good... well chosen wine by the glass and a fine selection by the bottle. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Thanks to the dine-out Boston week, I can try this new restaurant. I like the inside, very comfortable and bright. That is important to me. Compared to Moo... and Grill 23. This one does a great job. Their staff is nice and professional, especially our server: Robin. The Rockefeller is super juicy and flavorful. It is like a mini version casserole dish. Compared to Oysters on the half shell, I will recommend Rockefeller first. With House Salad and Tempura Green Beans, you can taste fresh veggie. Tempura is not oily and the batter smells so good. In addition, Bourbon Marinated Pork Chop and Filet Mignon Steak Diane are tender and juice. Quote my boyfriend's comment: "Love the taste of the mashed potato and beef but mashed potato can be more creamy. Compared to Moo... steak, I think I will come to this restaurant, not Moo..." When everything seems perfect, there is a bomb. Their dessert "Key Lime Pie" and "Peaches and Cream". Those dishes taste like Star market's food. The pie of key lime pie is too chewy and wet. Peaches taste like a peach can from Costco. Even Costco's peach can is better than this one. Cream on the top of bread does not help this dish level up to another level. Overall dessert point is -100! I only recommend their starters, seafood, the butcher shop, wines, and sides on the menu. read more
