Eddie Merlot's in Massachusetts

"We've been to Eddie Merlot's twice now and both times were absolutely outstanding. Our first time was on Valentine's Day last year. The restaurant was absolutely packed but by the great service and food we received you would not have known a difference. The atmosphere was fantastic, our server was 12/10 and all of our food, from the starters to dessert were perfect. We went back in October for a birthday dinner to see if the perfection was a one off thing or that was just their standard and we can happily confirm, that it is the standard of service and experience you will receive every time. We had a great server once again, every part of our meal was fantastic and they made the night feel special for us. We love to try new restaurants, but have collectively agreed, for any special occasion, Eddie Merlot's will be our go to. We cannot recommend it enough!"

"We had an amazing experience here for Valentine’s Day, our waiter Matt was very attentive and knowledgeable. I had a few questions about the difference in the steak sauces and he was able to explain the variations very well. Overall the food was amazing, I would recommend trying the ms9+ wagyu, as it was Devine. If you like macaroni and cheese I would also recommend trying the dish here as it was extremely creamy. The banana fosters dessert was a whole experience as they bring a cart over and make it in front of you! Definitely will be coming back."

"First time visiting Eddie Merlots and it did not disappoint! It’s beautiful inside and everyone is SO FRIENDLY! The host greeted us with a genuine smile, our server Matt was phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations, he came to check on us at the perfect moments, the food was incredible, the manager came over to make sure everything was top notch (which it was). But can I mention the bathroom for a quick second lol it was one of the nicest restaurant bathrooms I’ve been in! First I asked where the bathroom was and a nice gentleman walked me over to it which I thought was so kind and also very classy. The thing I liked most about the bathroom besides it being very clean was the mouthwash, so shout out to that! Overall fantastic experience and I will be back and most definitely asking to have Matt!! Thank you all SO MUCH!"

"Exceptional Dining Experience at Eddie Merlot’s Boston I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating the birthday of a great friend at Eddie Merlot’s in Boston, and I have to say — the entire evening was flawless from start to finish. When searching for the perfect steakhouse, several great options appeared, but I’m so glad we chose Eddie Merlot’s. What an amazing treat! We were greeted at the door by Selma, the hostess, whose warmth and kindness set the tone for the evening. She wished my friend a heartfelt happy birthday right away, making her feel genuinely special. While we waited briefly, Selma engaged us in such a pleasant conversation that it felt like chatting with an old friend — a rare touch of hospitality that instantly stood out. Our server, Benjamin, was just as remarkable. Despite having been there for a long 12-hour day, his professionalism and energy never wavered. He made every moment memorable — attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and sincerely passionate about ensuring we had a great experience. We ordered the Tomahawk for Two with lobster, paired with a rich bottle of red wine, and started with the shrimp cocktail. Every bite was outstanding — the steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, and flavorful, while the lobster complemented it beautifully. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and chilled perfectly. To top it off, we shared the carrot cake, which was one of the best I’ve ever had — moist, rich, and perfectly spiced. As we were leaving, I realized I hadn’t asked Benjamin to take a photo of us. By chance, we ran into Selma again, who was literally on her way out for the night but stopped in her tracks and offered to take our photos — such a thoughtful gesture that made the evening even more memorable. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, I can confidently say that Selma and Benjamin are shining examples of what true hospitality looks like — genuine, attentive, and passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for their guests. Eddie Merlot’s Boston exceeded every expectation — from the atmosphere and service to the food and attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back soon. Keep up the phenomenal work!"

"I had a great experience at Eddie Merlot’s, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Damani. From the moment we were seated, he was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. He made sure we were comfortable, explained the menu well, and gave excellent recommendations. Throughout the meal, Damani checked in at the right times without being intrusive, and everything came out perfectly. His professionalism and positive attitude really stood out and made the entire dining experience even better. It’s rare to find service that feels both polished and genuinely warm, but Damani delivered exactly that. If you’re dining at Eddie Merlot’s, I highly recommend asking for him — he’ll make sure you’re well taken care of. We’ll definitely be back!"

"A venue well worth visiting. Phenomenal layout, from just walking in.. and it only gets better. You're catered to by Knowledgeable barstaff with Accommodating front desk staff. Great menu with choices that you would more than approve of. Well-made libations, and dishes served with pleasure. Prepare your taste palate before coming. You'll thank me later."

"What a great surprise! I usually check reviews first, but this time I just went with the flow and it was outstanding. Vanessa’s service made the night even better (she even brought me fresh jalapeños!). The grilled romaine salad is a must-try (and I don’t even like salads). The Wagyu ribeye was cooked perfectly, good portion, great value. Calamari and filet pop sticks were also excellent. And if you still have room get the carrot cake. Also my wife paid which made my experience perfect lol Amazing food, great service. This place makes life better!"

"Normally for Thanksgiving, I pre-order a takeout meal from a restaurant. This year, I decided I wanted a dine-in experience instead. After researching several restaurants with strong reviews, I was looking for a budget-friendly Thanksgiving meal for a party of five. Eddie Merlot’s stood out with its $50.00 per person Thanksgiving dinner, along with great drink and dinner menu options, so I made our reservation online. Upon arrival, we noticed the handicap door opener was not working. We reported it to the host, who informed us that management was already aware of the issue. On our way out, a host kindly assisted by holding the door open. Let me start by saying that I absolutely loved the vibe of the restaurant. Our server, Renuka C., was outstanding—attentive, warm, and consistently checking in throughout our dinner. We began with the calamari appetizer. Two of us ordered the Thanksgiving meal, which included Eddie’s House Salad, Hand-Carved Roasted Turkey with gravy and sage stuffing, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potato Casserole, Fresh Asparagus, and Carrot Cake for dessert. The rest of the table enjoyed the Trio of Medallions, Filet Del Mar, New Orleans Mixed Grill, and Triple Chocolate Cake. We also ordered two drinks: the Sake Sunset and the Prickly Pear Margarita—my daughter noted that the Prickly Pear Margarita was very strong. Every dish we ordered was absolutely mouth-watering. Everything was cooked to perfection, from the entrées to the desserts. We all enjoyed our meals and drinks—no complaints, only compliments. I highly recommend Eddie Merlot’s for a wonderful Thanksgiving dining experience."
