“ Boyfriend took me to Eddie's to celebrate my birthday, our anniversary, and Valentine's Day. Our waiter, Nick was welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating to our table. We started our evening with drinks. BF had Burnt Orange Manhattan and I had Angels Envy, both on the rocks. We each had a Shrimp Cocktail. Each of the shrimps were huge! I had a Caesar Salad, which was very fresh. I had a regular Filet Mignon and BF had Wagyu Filet Mignon. It was sooooo tender and melted in your mouth. We shared Garlic Butter Mashed Potatoes and Wild Mushrooms. Since we were celebrating, we shared a Vanilla Cognac Brownie. They pour flaming cognac over the whole thing and drizzle with Hot Fudge. Was so rich and good! We will be back! *Only con to the trip was they need to repave their parking lot. Lots of potholes. ”

“ My children and I have been coming to Eddie's on Polaris for years. We usually ask for Jake to be our server. Today's dinner was exceptionally good and it was nice to get in from the cold. Our coats were hung by the hostess and our food was timely and delicious. We wish to thank management and Jake for the service. Best, Jessica and family ”
“ Eddie Merlot is one of many excellent high end places for steak and seafood in the greater Columbus area. I love the ambience if this restaurant. It is a great place for a party or a romantic night out. The service is also generally very good from the hostess to the servers. Our last visit was excellent. The appetizers (bbq shrimp and crab cakes) were both delicious. The only nit was that the crab cakes were quite small. My wife and I shared the bourbon ribeye, which was perfectly cooked, and surprisingly plenty of food. The onion straws were good as well. Overall an excellent experience. ”
