Eddie Merlot’s is named after a lighthearted moment shared over a bottle of wine. During dinner, a guest named Ed asked to be surprised with a great wine. When the Merlot was served, Ed was so impressed that he declared, “From now on, always order the Merlot.” In response, he was jokingly nicknamed "Eddie Merlot"—a name that stuck. The restaurant is an homage to that moment, celebrating a love for exceptional steaks, fine wine, and great company.
