First time visiting Eddie Merlots and it did not disappoint! It’s beautiful inside and everyone is SO FRIENDLY! The host greeted us with a genuine smile, our server Matt was phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations, he came to check on us at the perfect moments, the food was incredible, the manager came over to make sure everything was top notch (which it was). But can I mention the bathroom for a quick second lol it was one of the nicest restaurant bathrooms I’ve been in! First I asked where the bathroom was and a nice gentleman walked me over to it which I thought was so kind and also very classy. The thing I liked most about the bathroom besides it being very clean was the mouthwash, so shout out to that! Overall fantastic experience and I will be back and most definitely asking to have Matt!! Thank you all SO MUCH!

Came here on Valentine’s Day for dinner with my family. We were seated in the back room, where there was only one waitress serving about seven tables completely on her own. We were seated at 7:00 and placed our order within 15 minutes. Our complimentary bread didn’t come out until about 25 minutes later — along with our five appetizers. At that point, it was whatever. I understand it was extremely busy.
However, we waited almost an hour for our entrees. Our table was left with empty dishes for a long time, and there was no busser to help. The waitress was doing absolutely everything by herself. This was clearly poor management.
We ordered three steaks, all medium rare, and each one came out differently , one well done, one medium/well, and one rare. At that point, I didn’t even want to complain and risk waiting another hour.
Management really needs to provide better support for their staff. Maria A., thank you for trying your best , we could see you were doing everything you could.
Lobster Mac and cheese 4/10 barely any lobsters.
Crab cakes 5/10
Beef carpaccio 7/10
calamari 6/10
French onion soup 8/10
king crab corn soup 7.5/10
Oysters 10/10
Caesar salad 7/10
Prime ribeye 7/10
Requested for medium rare, Came out medium well
Ribeye WAYU 5/10
Requested for medium rare, came out well done
New Orleans mixed grill 8/10
Steak came out how I requested
Crème brûlée 9/10

We’ve been to Eddie Merlot’s twice now and both times were absolutely outstanding. Our first time was on Valentine’s Day last year. The restaurant was absolutely packed but by the great service and food we received you would not have known a difference. The atmosphere was fantastic, our server was 12/10 and all of our food, from the starters to dessert were perfect.
We went back in October for a birthday dinner to see if the perfection was a one off thing or that was just their standard and we can happily confirm, that it is the standard of service and experience you will receive every time.
We had a great server once again, every part of our meal was fantastic and they made the night feel special for us.
We love to try new restaurants, but have collectively agreed, for any special occasion, Eddie Merlot’s will be our go to. We cannot recommend it enough!

We had an amazing experience here for Valentine’s Day, our waiter Matt was very attentive and knowledgeable. I had a few questions about the difference in the steak sauces and he was able to explain the variations very well. Overall the food was amazing, I would recommend trying the ms9+ wagyu, as it was Devine. If you like macaroni and cheese I would also recommend trying the dish here as it was extremely creamy. The banana fosters dessert was a whole experience as they bring a cart over and make it in front of you! Definitely will be coming back.

Normally for Thanksgiving, I pre-order a takeout meal from a restaurant. This year, I decided I wanted a dine-in experience instead. After researching several restaurants with strong reviews, I was looking for a budget-friendly Thanksgiving meal for a party of five. Eddie Merlot’s stood out with its $50.00 per person Thanksgiving dinner, along with great drink and dinner menu options, so I made our reservation online.
Upon arrival, we noticed the handicap door opener was not working. We reported it to the host, who informed us that management was already aware of the issue. On our way out, a host kindly assisted by holding the door open.
Let me start by saying that I absolutely loved the vibe of the restaurant. Our server, Renuka C., was outstanding—attentive, warm, and consistently checking in throughout our dinner.
We began with the calamari appetizer. Two of us ordered the Thanksgiving meal, which included Eddie’s House Salad, Hand-Carved Roasted Turkey with gravy and sage stuffing, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potato Casserole, Fresh Asparagus, and Carrot Cake for dessert. The rest of the table enjoyed the Trio of Medallions, Filet Del Mar, New Orleans Mixed Grill, and Triple Chocolate Cake. We also ordered two drinks: the Sake Sunset and the Prickly Pear Margarita—my daughter noted that the Prickly Pear Margarita was very strong.
Every dish we ordered was absolutely mouth-watering. Everything was cooked to perfection, from the entrées to the desserts. We all enjoyed our meals and drinks—no complaints, only compliments.
I highly recommend Eddie Merlot’s for a wonderful Thanksgiving dining experience.

Update: After my below review, the general manager, Gerald, reached out to understand what happened and hear more about my experience. He was very apologetic for my bad experience and asked my friend and I to come back and give them another try. We went back there for lunch on a Sunday. We had the spinach and artichoke dip for appetizer which was absolutely amazing. As for the main dishes, we shared a steak and lemon dijon chicken platter. Both were so good. I guess the issue was only with their thanksgiving menu including the turkey, but aside from that the food that we had the second time was a 10 out of 10.
My friend and I wanted a thanksgiving experience so we decided to visit Eddie Merlot on thanksgiving and try their thanksgiving menu.
First of all, the place is so nice and the service was great.
The main issue was with the food. The only good thing about their three course menu is the appetizers. My friend and I shared a Caesar salad and crab bisque, both were so good and the portion was also good. The main dish was the turkey with the option to choose two sides. I chose the mashed potatoes and broccoli. The turkey was so chewy and did not taste good. I could barely eat two bites from the dish. For dessert, we also shared a chocolate and carrot cake. The chocolate cake was tasty but too sweet. We did not like the carrot cake, it had a lot of cinnamon in it, which we’re not big fans of. Although we did not eat most of the dishes, no one bothered to ask us if we liked the food or if there was any problem. It was honestly the worst 50$ I ever spent on food and would not recommend.

We were really looking forward to a nice dinner date, but unfortunately the experience fell short.
The appetizers were the highlight of the meal. The sweet and spicy shrimp were flavorful, and the bread was warm and enjoyable. We were excited for the Australian tomahawk steak, which was the main reason for our visit, but it was a major disappointment. We wanted it medium rare but intentionally ordered it medium to be safe, and it still arrived rare. While the flavor was acceptable, it wasn’t impressive, especially for the price.
The sides were equally underwhelming. The mac and cheese was poorly executed—made with a roux that had coagulated, resulting in a bland dish where the cheese didn’t even adhere to the noodles. It barely tasted like cheese at all. The asparagus was overcooked and mushy.
The wine was surprisingly decent, though it appeared to be a ~$20 bottle, which felt consistent with the overall quality of the meal. Overall, the experience didn’t justify the cost, and we likely won’t be returning.

This was our last option for Valentines Day as other restaurants were full and booked. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back as our food took over an hour to be served and dishes were not presentable for “Fine Dining.” We waited so long for bread and butter that it came out at the same time as our appetizers came out. We go to a lot of fine dining places and this was by far on the bottom of my list.
We ordered 3 different steaks, all medium rare and each one was cooked differently. 1 came out medium well, the other medium, and the third perfect. Usually we would want them to take it back, but it we didn’t want to wait another hour. We ate what we could with the overcooked steak, but will be giving it to our dogs at home.
I could have been happier with a steak from Applebees.

Exceptional Dining Experience at Eddie Merlot’s Boston
I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating the birthday of a great friend at Eddie Merlot’s in Boston, and I have to say — the entire evening was flawless from start to finish. When searching for the perfect steakhouse, several great options appeared, but I’m so glad we chose Eddie Merlot’s. What an amazing treat!
We were greeted at the door by Selma, the hostess, whose warmth and kindness set the tone for the evening. She wished my friend a heartfelt happy birthday right away, making her feel genuinely special. While we waited briefly, Selma engaged us in such a pleasant conversation that it felt like chatting with an old friend — a rare touch of hospitality that instantly stood out.
Our server, Benjamin, was just as remarkable. Despite having been there for a long 12-hour day, his professionalism and energy never wavered. He made every moment memorable — attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and sincerely passionate about ensuring we had a great experience.
We ordered the Tomahawk for Two with lobster, paired with a rich bottle of red wine, and started with the shrimp cocktail. Every bite was outstanding — the steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, and flavorful, while the lobster complemented it beautifully. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and chilled perfectly. To top it off, we shared the carrot cake, which was one of the best I’ve ever had — moist, rich, and perfectly spiced.
As we were leaving, I realized I hadn’t asked Benjamin to take a photo of us. By chance, we ran into Selma again, who was literally on her way out for the night but stopped in her tracks and offered to take our photos — such a thoughtful gesture that made the evening even more memorable.
As someone who works in the hospitality industry, I can confidently say that Selma and Benjamin are shining examples of what true hospitality looks like — genuine, attentive, and passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for their guests.
Eddie Merlot’s Boston exceeded every expectation — from the atmosphere and service to the food and attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back soon. Keep up the phenomenal work!

What a great surprise! I usually check reviews first, but this time I just went with the flow and it was outstanding. Vanessa’s service made the night even better (she even brought me fresh jalapeños!).
The grilled romaine salad is a must-try (and I don’t even like salads). The Wagyu ribeye was cooked perfectly, good portion, great value. Calamari and filet pop sticks were also excellent. And if you still have room get the carrot cake. Also my wife paid which made my experience perfect lol
Amazing food, great service. This place makes life better!
