For those craving greens, the warm goat cheese salad with wild mushrooms and champagne vinaigrette or the heirloom tomato salad with bufula mozzarella will be a perfect addition to your meal.
The starters are great, but the steaks will steal the show at Eddie V’s Prime Seafood. The USDA prime steaks are well seasoned and seared to perfection. Portions range from the 8 ounce center cut filet mignon to the 22 ounce bone-in ribeye.
