Eddie V’s in Houston

Eddie V’s Prime Seafood in Houston was the perfect setting for a much-needed dinner outing in March. I wanted something a bit upscale, with a relaxing atmosphere and a menu that leaned into the ocean—and Eddie V’s delivered. The energy of the restaurant was vibrant yet intimate, and the service stood out from the moment I walked in. I went to the Kirby location.

To kick things off, I started with the oysters. Fresh, briny, and beautifully presented, they were a refreshing way to open the evening. Served chilled on a bed of ice with classic accompaniments, they disappeared from the table faster than I expected. I would absolutely order them again.

Next, I moved on to the yellowtail. Light, clean, and subtly buttery, it was a standout appetizer for me. The yellowtail had just the right balance of citrus and salt, complemented by the delicate plating that made it as beautiful as it was flavorful.

For the main course, I went with their signature Chilean Sea Bass, and I can't recommend it enough. It was perfectly cooked—silky on the inside with a caramelized miso glaze that added a savory richness to every bite. It came served over a bed of lightly sautéed vegetables that brought the dish together nicely. This was, hands down, my favorite part of the night.

I didn’t have dessert this time, but honestly, I didn’t need to. The flow of the meal and the depth of flavor in each course left me more than satisfied. The team at Eddie V’s made sure the night went smoothly from start to finish. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and I never felt rushed. He also offered me a complimentary glass of champagne; which was nice.

All in all, Eddie V’s provided a classy yet approachable seafood experience. Whether you’re a Houston local or just visiting, I recommend making a reservation and treating yourself to their sea bass. It's a dish I’ll be thinking about for a while.
