Eden Bar — Restaurant in Maitland

I've actually been coming to the Eden Bar for a long time now. I've always just associated it with the Enzian. Yesterday it dawned on me that it's a separate business with a separate Yelp page, so here we go.

We get here a few hours before the movie starts, because MoviePass, and we decided to chill out at Eden Bar and grab some food & drinks while studying. Long story. The seating options are great. You can be at the big bar, around the periphery, or down near the beautiful fountain. We sat somewhere in between underneath an umbrella on a beautiful day.

Our server was super nice and brought waters right away, which was good, because we needed some time to think. We knew we wanted to get an option that wasn't offered on the Enzian menu inside. Might as well try the exclusives.

We ended up ordering the Shrimp & Loaded Grits (Grits loaded with cheddar, bacon & green onion, topped with Cajun spiced fried shrimp), the Eden Burger (100% Wagyu beef burger with lettuce, tomato, 3-year aged cheddar, and peppery mayo), and a side of truffle fries because they were on happy hour.

The grits weren't as loaded as I was expecting from the menu, but they were still very well cooked and there was a plentiful amount to go with my shimps, which were cooked very nicely. I was quite happy with this dish. Good flavors, and a duo of nice sauces on top of the grits.

The Eden Burger was overcooked, but the nice beef flavor was there and really awesome. A nice simple salt 'n' pepper seasoning made this burger really enjoyable even though it was overcooked. The mac & cheese on the side was nice, too, with shavings of parmesan cheese on top. Yum!

The fries were awesome, as always. The truffle flavor is just the perfect amount, and they give you a lot of parmesan on top for enjoyment. The ketchup might or might not be special, but for $4 on happy hour, I don't think I could ever say no to this side.

Overall, this place is a really great place to hangout, and they throw really good Halloween parties. The perfect little friend to the next-door Enzian. I...

I came to Eden quite often and I have never had a bad experience when Andy is here, sometimes when I visit a few of the other bartenders aren’t as welcoming or warming but Andy is always a warm, sweet and, hospitable smile to walk into! I really appreciate the service at Eden, it always make me feel very welcomed and attended too! Not only is Andy sweet to me, but he’s a genuine and authentic pleasure to everyone I see him service and beyond! He truly sets the standard for service and I wish so deeply that most if not all bartenders could follow in Andy’s footsteps as he really sets the tone for the caliber of service I expect when going out! Thank you Eden for employing someone so capable of the...

Weather was great out tonight so me and my girlfriend decided to go have a drinkbat Enzian. It's always a beautiful spot at night for a drink.

Walked up to the bar, hearing the music blasting so loud I thought it would be busy as we walked up. Only 8 people at the bar. 4 couples.

We walked up and sat there for about 5 minutes. Not a single acknowledgement from the 2 bartenders working. No "hey welcome in. We'll be right with you!" So we just left, which worked out anyways since a woman was screaming so loud at the bar to speak to the bartenders over the music, it killed the vibe anyways.

Sucks to just be ignored, especially since it wasn't busy. Really no excuse for it, just bad...
