Reviews for Eddie Merlot's in Lincolnshire, IL
Excellent food and circus. Food presentation was very interesting and well thought out and good service
It was good, but I can't give it more than 4 stars, because there were too many negatives. First, the food is extremely... overpriced. I ordered the bison filet, which was absolutely fantastic. It was cooked perfectly and was literally the bestpiece of meat I have ever eaten. However, it was also the smallest, and $50 for this tiny piece of meat is just outrageous. Itlooked ridiculous when it was served, because it was just the smallest steak you've ever seen, in the middle of a large whiteplate with nothing else on it. Same thing for the crab cakes. They're not very good. Obviously fried, not baked/broiled, andalso not homemade. No lump crab meat in them at all, and extremely tiny. Mashed potatoes side was very good, but the brusselsprouts were not. Cocktails were excellent, and so was the service, but I doubt I would come back here again based on thequantity of food for the price. Read more
Truly average in every aspect but the pricing. Wait staff is Chilis level, steaks were Outback quality, and not a side elegant... and daring enough to leave out bacon. Atmosphere was decent though. Wouldn’t return. Not even a chance. Read more
Underwhelming. I dropped $300 including tip for dinner for two. $65 on a 10oz filet that wasn't an amazing piece of meat to... begin with and not cooked properly on top of that. I wasn't so upset that I was "that guy" to return my meal or complain, butour waiter realized we weren't blown away and stayed away from us for the second half out our time there after entrees wereserved. Drinks were healthy pours. Appetizers were good. French onion soup was OK. Can't remember the last time I didn't finisha bowl since I absolutely love this treat - reminds me of my mom - but I didn't finish it. Too much soup and onion - not enoughbread. Salmon was OK. Mac and cheese was good. Asparagus was what you'd expect. By the time desert became a possibility, we hadhad enough mediocrity from someplace I had heard was really good. Its OK. Nothing more. Solid three stars and a great big "meh". Read more
Both our steaks were slightly over cooked but still very tender and tasty. Tempura green beans were awesome. Tasty lemon drop... martini. Read more
If you're looking for a good steakhouse, this is a great place. We passed the warm bread around under the dimmed lights of the... restaurant as we waited for our dinner to arrive. The gentle buzz of the restaurant conversation provided a background for ourown dinner conversation. The first of our dinner to arrive was the shrimp appetizer. It was crunchy, creamy and contained atinge of spicy tang. For the main entree, the steak was well cooked, delicious and plentiful. The mushroom sidedish was perfect,not too strong but a quiet flavorful companion. And the crème brûlée was a sweet end to complete the dinner and the evening. Read more
Good food and ambience! Great staff. Ordered the spicy shrimp, Wagyu beef, broccoli side, and creme brûlée. Each were... wonderful. Shrimp had a great taste and light and crunch tempura coating. Wagyu beef took a while to arrive but was wonderfullycooked and the turnip strips on top were delicious. Creme brûlée was the best I’ve ever had. Broccoli was rich and butteryand NOT soggy or over cooked. Only complaint is that there was a pesky fly that would not leave us or our food alone :( Read more
Eddie merlots was wonderful. The food was not only quality but the staff and our waiter were very kind and respectful. I would... recommend to anyone looking for surf and turf or someone who wants to treat their significant other to a great meal! Read more
