What diners say — our read

Across 20 reviews, opinion here is genuinely mixed. Where how guests are treated comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength. How food arrives is the next most common subject, in 20% of reviews (averaging 4.0).

Conspicuously absent: wait times, which no reviewer brings up. The split is 19 positive to 1 negative across 20 rated reviews. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 18 of the 20 reviewers who rated.

On the health side, the most recent DBPR inspection returned a B (89/100) with 1 high-priority and 3 basic violations — middling, much like the reviews. That inspection was on May 20, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. On health score it sits safer than 40% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. Among the items recorded were cross-contamination and storage & handling of clean equipment and utensils.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

    It wasn't all that I heard or expected it would be. I was pretty disappointed. No seasoning on the Famous crab cake. Asparagus was undercooked and tasteless, Shrimp was overcooked. I just had a real bad first experience and will not go back.

    Eddie Vs is our absolute favorite place! If you are looking for a fine dinning experience with phenomenal food and great service Eddie Vs is a must! Justin in particular was very accommodating! Our baby spilled an entire glass of wine, he and the team went to work immediately to help clean everything up. They did not make us feel like a burden they handled it all with ease. Thank you for always making our special occasions and date nights spectacular. We will be coming back!

    One of my favorite places! The atmosphere is always great and the food and service is always exceptional. On this trip, Molly and her helper was awesome. (you have 2 waiters, I can't remember the 2nd waiters name, but he was awesome, too). The Crab Cake is undeniably the best! It's crispy outter layer and flaky center is just.. 😋 I have ordered the Crabcake for take out on multiple occasions. My husband loves their wedge salad and Calamari. We are truly appetizer people, by the time our entrée arrives, we're usually full. BUT...the entrées are also exceptional. We had the Crab Stuffed Shrimp, The Lemon Chicken and the Crab Fried Rice. In any case, if you're visiting the area, EV's is on Restaurant Row, give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

    Worth every penny (dollar). Questioned every "fine dining experience" I had ever had. Delicious food and excellent service. Definitely top notch and worth a return visit. I even enjoyed a black coffee. I don't even LIKE coffee 🤣

    I had another delicious meal with fantastic musicians performing in the background. An excellent evening at one of my favorites that never disappoints!

  • June 10, 2026

    Always a good meal here. I love the bar and and live music. Parmesan creatures some and crab fried rice is probably the best thing on the menu.

    We had an outstanding dining experience at Eddie V's and will definitely be back. The service was exceptional from start to finish, which is exactly what you expect when dining at a premium steakhouse. The staff was attentive, professional, and made the entire evening feel special. We started with a dozen and a half oysters, which were incredibly fresh and delicious. The Wagyu beef dumplings were absolutely amazing and one of our favorite appetizers of the night. We also ordered the crab cakes and steak tartare, both of which were expertly prepared and full of flavor. I tried the Caesar salad as well—while it wasn't a traditional Caesar, it was unique, fresh, and very enjoyable. For our entrées, we enjoyed the rack of lamb, filet mignons, and a couple of lobsters. Every dish was cooked perfectly and delivered exactly the quality you'd hope for from a high-end steakhouse. The sides, including the mac and cheese, were equally impressive and complemented the meal perfectly. The true highlight of the evening was the Bananas Foster. It was absolutely phenomenal and easily one of the best desserts I've ever had. The presentation, flavor, and execution were flawless. From the exceptional food to the outstanding service, Eddie V's delivered on every level. A memorable dining experience that exceeded expectations, and we look forward to returning soon.
