Had a reservation and was sat pretty close to the door where you enter. Mean while all through the meal and main dining room was empty except for one or two parties. The vegetable lasagna was a joke they went so far as stack the vegetables on two what looked like cheese Crackers. TERRIBLE! Then the seafood dish 45$ consisted of tasteless broth undercooked almost raw onions two class two muscles two shrimp two scallop and A mini tiny piece fish . It had no taste. Never go there again

I will say we never have dessert but ended with the pot a creme and 2 espresso martinis because everything was so good. The tenderloin, potstickers, Cioppino and fire and ice. Soo amazing, must try!

Goat cheese salad was perfection. Balanced acid with salty and sweet. Great wine and dessert. Bring your wife here to make her happy.

This was our first experience at Eat. It couldn't have been better, the service was impeccable, wine was wonderful, and the food was exceptional. Cannot wait to go back. If you're a foodie, this is the place to go!

This was my first time back to this restaurant in a long time. The service was great, though the server didn't know the price of the specials when asked. My friend had the octopus and a goat cheese salad, which she enjoyed. I ordered the oysters and the short rib special. The oysters were good, and the taste of the short ribs were good, but the consistency was more like pot roast, which is not one of my favorite choices. I would definitely return to dine again.

We ordered the Paella and the short rib with kale, which were specials. Both were overcooked, unfortunately. We enjoyed our starters, butternut squash soup and octopus. Our server was attentive and friendly. It was a pleasant evening, despite the disappointing entrees.

My wife and I went here for a rare date night. Both of us agreed that it was best start to finish dinner we have had in years. It’s now our go to if we are able to head out.

First time here and came on Valentine’s Day. We had the butternut squash soup topped with jumbo lump crab meat, raw oysters, oyster rock, fillet with truffle mashed potatoes, jumbo crab cake dinner, seafood and chicken paella, and a white chocolate macadamia nut bread pudding. There was nothing that we did not enjoy and everthing was perfect! Must go and try!

If I could I will be there all day everyday. The portions are fair to the price, the cooking technique and temperatures are really on point 8/10. The service is outstanding. The menu is really great and the specials are always good. If they are serving Paella take it !

I used to work here many years ago. It is some of the very best food I've ever served, in over 20 years of being a waiter in over a dozen restaurants.I still come back as a customer. I can personally attest the following: Chef Eric does not buy mediocre product. All of his ingredients are top quality, especially very nice proteins and seafood. He does not cut corners on product.Wheelchair accessibility: The ramp is on the side/patio entrance.

We had a delightful dinner at Eat last night. The goat cheese salad, the tuna, and the veal chop Oscar (please post the price on the board!!!!), and the crème brûlée were great...as was the service and as were the friendly nearby diners.
