My wife and I celebrated our 3rd year wedding anniversary today and it was amazing! The food, the service, the atmosphere! It’s our 3rd time here, how ironic. Our waiter was superb, Frank…Jack also stopped by to take a picture of us and brought back a very nice Eddie Merlot post card with our picture framed. We are soooo happy we decided to dine here tonight and celebrate our anniversary. Thank you again Frank for a great experience.

Our experience at Eddie Merlot’s in Warrenville was exceptional from start to finish. We were seated almost immediately, which made for a great first impression. The atmosphere was elegant, quiet, and relaxing, and the restaurant was spotless, creating the perfect setting for a special night out.

The complimentary appetizer and dessert were a wonderful surprise and showed the level of hospitality they provide. Every detail of the dining experience felt thoughtful and well-executed.

A special thank you to our server, Frank, who truly elevated the evening. He made us feel incredibly welcomed from the moment we sat down. He took the time to explain the entire menu in great detail, answered all of our questions, and offered excellent recommendations for both drinks and entrées. His knowledge, professionalism, and friendly personality made choosing our meal easy and added so much to the overall experience.

If you’re looking for outstanding service, incredible food, and an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere, Eddie Merlot’s in Warrenville is absolutely worth visiting. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I LOVE a good steak place that serves good a good bread service. This was not the place for me and my family. We are not big fans of sourdough bread. It has a horrible after taste. They are missing the mark on that. We also didn't like their fried calamari. It tasted like it came out of a box. What they served us, was not the same that was pictured on their website and/or Yelp! This was Christmas day, so I don't know if they went the cheap route or not, but it was not good at all. Very disappointed!! I consider myself to be a calamari connoisseur. I hope they fixed that!!
We also had the Tomahawk.. that was cooked perfectly and the taste was OK. I had the Seabass, and that was delicious. They sides were just ok. The drinks were ok, but, I'm a lite weight. Lol! Service was great. I don't remember the servers name, but he was great! They did remove the calamari from our tab. The three of us, my sister and niece enjoyed our time together for our annual Christmas dinner!! We just won't go back.

Eddie Merlot’s – Thanksgiving Surprise of the Year

When I made our Thanksgiving reservations, my expectations were somewhere between “meh” and “we’ll survive.” I wasn’t hoping for magic, just something edible and a chair to sit on. So imagine my surprise when Eddie Merlot’s delivered an experience that felt like Thanksgiving had put on its fancy shoes and decided to show off.

The décor was glowing, the whole place humming with warmth, and the staff made us feel like honored guests rather than strays seeking refuge from kitchen duty. Our server, Cordell, was genuinely wonderful, attentive, friendly, and blessedly unhurried. He gave us space to enjoy the meal without hovering like a helicopter on mashed-potato patrol.

And the food? Oh yes.
The King Crab & Corn Bisque was velvety and rich.
The roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole tasted like someone’s very proud grandmother was working behind the scenes.
The turkey was moist, tender, and actually flavorful (a Thanksgiving miracle).
The asparagus and green beans were vibrant, crisp, and clearly not boiled into oblivion.

We ended with the triple chocolate cake, which would’ve reached full glory with a little warmth and a scoop of ice cream or cream, but hey, we took the leftovers home and showed it the respect it deserved.

For the record, they mix an outstanding Negroni, and the wine list means business.

We walked in with low expectations and walked out happily stunned.
We’ll absolutely be back, holiday or not.
