In the infinite expanse of the cosmos, where stars align and celestial bodies dance in a harmonious ballet, there exists a terrestrial haven where culinary delights transcend the ordinary. This haven is Eddie Merlot's, a gastronomic sanctuary where flavors converge in an astral symphony. Upon entering Eddie Merlot's, one is immediately enveloped by an ambiance that whispers of both earthly elegance and ethereal charm. The décor, a celestial fusion of classic sophistication and modern chic, sets the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. But among the many stars that make up the constellation of Eddie Merlot's, there shines one that outshines them all—Jared, the greatest bartender in existence. Like an alchemist of old, Jared transforms mere liquids into elixirs that could rival the nectar of the gods. His craft is not just bartending; it is a cosmic performance, a dance of the elements that results in libations of unparalleled perfection. Jared’s creations are more than drinks; they are experiences. Each sip takes you on a journey through the cosmos, with flavors that evoke distant galaxies and untold wonders. His knowledge of mixology is as deep as the universe itself, and his ability to craft the perfect drink for any occasion is nothing short of magical. Whether you seek a classic cocktail or a bespoke creation, Jared will deliver with a finesse that is simply otherworldly. The menu at Eddie Merlot's is a testament to culinary artistry, with each dish meticulously crafted to please even the most discerning palate. From succulent steaks that melt in your mouth to seafood so fresh it might have just been plucked from Poseidon's own garden, the offerings are both diverse and divine. Each bite is a revelation, a reminder that the universe is abundant with flavors waiting to be discovered. But it is Jared who truly elevates the Eddie Merlot’s experience to the cosmic level. His presence behind the bar is a beacon of warmth and hospitality, his smile as radiant as a supernova. With each drink he serves, he weaves a bit of magic, making every moment spent at Eddie Merlot's feel like a celebration of life itself. In the grand tapestry of the universe, Eddie Merlot's stands as a shining star, a place where the earthly and the celestial meet in perfect harmony. And at its heart is Jared, the greatest bartender in existence, whose talent and passion make every visit a truly cosmic experience. Sit at the Bar only it’s the best place on this ride and remember time only exists in your human vessel have a drink and evolve beyond space and time.

I will start the review by acknowledging the fact we are in a nationwide staffing crisis. I would like to believe that is where the majority of the downfalls I experienced stemmed from. I think our waiter was trying to do too much at once which triggered the overall underwhelming service. So most of it was probably not his fault. However some of it was most certainly his fault. I certainly understand being overwhelmed clouds judgement. When someone is paying 300 dollars for two I expect things to go a lot smoother. The steaks we ordered were excellent. Two of the three sides were very good. One was probably the worst thing I’ve ever been served though. They were kind enough to offer to take it off of the bill but didn’t. We had been there so long at that point I didn’t even want to wait any longer for them to fix the bill. I probably won’t be going back unless I get a gift card or something. I found nothing that set them above any other high end steak house in Indianapolis. There again though I haven’t been to any of them since America became so short handed. Maybe this review should be less about this particular restaurant and more of just a warning to the public, that if you go out to eat be prepared for an understaffed restaurant trying to maintain. I still have to give three stars for those mushrooms being a disgrace to all humanity, and for making me wait a half hour before bringing bread out. Also from the time I dropped my fork to the time I finally got my check back it was easily a half hour. I’m a simple guy bring me some good food bring me my check. You make me sit there extended periods hungry in the beginning, and full at the end you get 3 stars. Have me back on your dime and change my mind! Also we were greeted at the front door with the ever so awkward (how may I help you) in a non friendly tone. Pro Tip: don’t do that.

Let me start off by saying that I'm a chef and I'm very judgemental with food. The staff was super friendly! If we had any questions or requests our waitress handled it for us. The vibe is laid back in the restaurant. The Berry White Martini was AMAZING, my date and I really enjoyed it! The bartender was generous with the liquor lol. For appetizers we ordered the crab cakes and sweet and spicy shrimp. The crab cakes were moist, and good, but average in taste. Also I assume the chef there loves cilantro because it was on EVERYTHING. Cilantro doesn't go well with everything! The sweet and spicy shrimp was just fried shrimp with Sriracha drizzled on top. Although it was good, I can get that from Friday's for $15 cheaper. The plating of every dish was amazing! Now honey, these entrees are some of the blandest food I've ever had in my life. He ordered a medium steak. It was cooked right but there was just NO seasoning, it's like they forgot about salt and pepper! He also got a peppercorn cream sauce to accompany the steak....again, NO FLAVOR, just cream and peppercorns. I ordered the shrimp and scallops. It was just okay, not bad, not good. The scallops were cooked perfectly. Just not really any flavor. For sides we got mashed potatoes and lobster Mac n cheese. Nothing good to say about it. No flavor. We actually put the peppercorn sauce and some salt in them and that helped a bit. Our waitress could sense we weren't feeling the food (barely touched it, but we didn't say anything) and gave us a slice of chocolate cake which was surprisingly really good! Overall it was a good atmosphere, would only go back for apps and drinks. The food is gorgeous but bland. Please season the food!! It only takes salt and pepper!

Absolutely horrid customer service. Avoid catering with Eddie Merlot’s at all cost. After a reasonable experience in January hosting a business gathering with 20 physicians we made the mistake of repeating the order this past Friday for the same group of guests . Not only did the price increase over 20% , but the portion sizes were cut to the point where we were forced to order pizza to for the event when $1000 of catering amounted to 2 comically small platters of meat, a iceberg lettuce salad , 10 or so shrimp, a plate of the cheapest cheeses that Aldi would be ashamed to carry, and a few grapes without even crackers or some matching item . What made the experience particularly delightful was speaking with the manager who blatantly lied and stated that the number of guests was never communicated. A comical lie which only illustrated management’s incompetence… I was expected to believe the physician who called in the order (in my presence none-the-less) was a liar , and a catering service did not question the number of people to be served . Apparently the hospitals budget isn’t sufficient to have catering service with Eddie’s , nor are they interested in repeat business after essentially swindling our department of funds . What was particularly helpful was the manager telling me that the $1000 budget was insufficient for the party size at the time of the event , and that she “even added extra cookies “ . Brilliant . That obviously replaces entrees . Rude doesn’t begin to describe the interaction . “Our prices have gone up 3 times in the last year “ I was told as some sort of excuse for the failure to appropriately cater . This was after repeatedly insisting that we certainly never communicated the number of guests . No attempt was made to come to a resolution . A complete embarrassment of a situation . The most unfortunate part actually is that I will need to return to this shameful establishment to get an itemized receipt , because they failed to provide even that basic service . Do yourself a favor and go to Kroger for catering . $1000 may feed 6 people otherwise . Although my colleagues and I do certainly appreciate being told by the manager of this garbage little restaurant that we are liars . Horrid horrid experience . Again avoid if you value your...

Graduating is such a huge accomplishment, so celebrating at a nice restaurant with my loved ones (which was a party of 10) was so important to me, but our experience with this Eddie Merlot location was BEYOND terrible. We got seated early 8:00pm where our original reservation time was for 8:30pm so a good start, however I reserved for 10 and table was set for 8 guest. Our server seemed very “NEW” or not comfortable with our table as she continued to forget our orders not putting them in and did not visit our table often throughout the night to see if we needed anything. To put it into further prospective, we did not get our entrees until around 10:20ish pm and after sitting for sooo long with delayed drinks and appetizers throughout the night it was quite disappointing. We all ended up having to take our food to go because it was just draining to continue even wait on the delayed service after closing time(they close at 10:00pm). The food also was delivered to us cold. Two members of my party expressed to management our concerns about the service given and the manager continued to sway the topic as if we did not want to tip her(our server). No one ever stated they did not want to tip the server as majority of the party at the table also work within the service industry and knows exactly how pay is in this industry. So for the manger to blatantly disregard what was actually being said and redirecting it back to how he assumed we were trying not to tip her was just insane. The concern we had was the service! That was it! It was very obvious on how other tables around us were being treated comparable to our service and I’m not one to think I’m being mistreated because I’m my SKIN COLOR, but it was very much giving exactly that the whole night. With the amount of money people spend to have a seat at the table to eat here they should never be treated the way we were treated. I felt completely disrespected on what was suppose to be such a beautiful moment/night for me with no regard to what my actual concern was. I have had way better service while spending less so I would not recommend celebrating anything important to you here or even spending any money here with the service I’ve experienced. Take your money to restaurants that would treat you...
