If there’s one thing I love, it’s a dining experience that balances elegance with efficiency. Eddie V’s on Belvedere Street delivered just that, and the credit belongs to one person: Kari. This woman is not just a server she’s a culinary concierge, a hospitality magician, and quite frankly, a reason to book a reservation here ASAP.
From the moment we sat down to the last indulgent bite of our Bananas Foster, Kari was in command. Attentive but never intrusive, warm yet professional, she anticipated needs before they even formed in my mind. If you’re making a reservation on OpenTable, do yourself a favor and *request Kari*. She’s the kind of talent restaurants should be fighting to keep so, dear manager, give this woman a raise and start training her for leadership.
Now, let’s talk food.
We started with the lobster tacos, which were exactly what you want in a seafood starter light, flavorful, and just indulgent enough to set the tone for the meal. My entrée, the stuffed shrimp, was buttery, rich, and perfectly cooked, while my husband’s crab cake and salmon held their own as well-executed seafood classics. The real showstoppers, however, were the sides the lobster mashed potatoes were pure velvet, the crab fried rice was a luxurious upgrade to a staple, and the Brussels sprouts brought the ideal crisp-char balance. And of course, no trip to Eddie V’s is complete without their Banana Foster dessert it’s an absolute must, every single time.
I’m a self-proclaimed regular(-ish) at the Burlington location, mainly due to parking woes at Belvedere, but this visit was a reminder that some experiences are worth the hassle. Even post-Restaurant Week (when service at some spots tends to wobble), the place was packed, yet Kari didn’t miss a beat.
Would I come back? In a heartbeat. Would I request Kari again? Without question. Would I suggest that Eddie V’s recognize and reward her excellence? Absolutely. Consider this review my official nomination.
