New Eddie V’s Prime Seafood, Steak, and Rhythms on Orlando Restaurant Row

Sparkling atmosphere and sounds of live jazz fill the air and set the tone for an elegant dining experience at Eddie V’s Prime Seafood.

Eddie V’s is a new swanky upscale restaurant on Sand Lake Road’s Restaurant Row with an emphasis on prime seafood creations, USDA prime beef and chops, and fresh oyster bar selections. The 8,000-square-foot space was formerly occupied by Timpano Italian Chophouse and bought out by Darden Restaurants. The space was torn down and rebuilt to create a sophisticated environment with sweeping lakefront views in the main dining room and a open patio area featuring a “living wall” of colorful plants.

Restaurant concepts owned by Darden include Bahamas Breeze, Capital Grill, LongHorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Seasons 52. Eddie V’s represent a big part of Darden’s future as the company emphasizes niche chains with more sophisticated designs and will be the seventh Orlando-based Darden concept in Central Florida.

Fresh seafood is flown in daily while sourcing the very best product so that the Chefs can focus on simple elegant presentation with strong flavors.

Eddie V’s is an exquisite addition to Sand Lake Road’s Restaurant Row with outstanding food and staff. The restaurant can accommodate big parties that seek large private spaces for any special occasion. Seafood or steak? Both of the main entrées I tried were equally delicious and filled with sensational flavors but I enjoyed the freshness of the Alaskan Halibut more. The Bananas Foster was phenomenal and the perfect way to end the meal. Definitely worth a try if you have not visited yet – let us know what you think!
