"Jet Set Diner" Joel Chusid has the lowdown on Eddie V's in Austin. By Joel Chusid EddieV’s Edgewater Grille- 9400-B Arboretum Blvd., Austin 78759 (512)342-2642. (website: www.eddiev.com)  Tried this lively place on a recent Saturday evening. Located in an upscale area of northwest Austin, EddieV’s specializes in fish and seafood, but also offers a variety of steak cuts, and chicken, veal, and salads. We started our meal seafood bisque and beefsteak tomato and sweet onion salads. Some of the more unusual appetizers included steak sashimi and two large ($34.50 each) hot or cold combination platters that can easily serve multiple diners. Oyster, shrimp and two types of crab claws were also available, and seemed to be a popular choice .The bisque was delicious, although the sweet onions were more tangy than sweet. Our main courses consisted of horseradish- encrusted salmon, crab stuffed broiled shrimp, and charcoal-grilled mahi mahi served with blue crab fritters. Other offerings included ahi tuna, Chilean seabass, swordfish and several other fruits of the sea.  Side dishes were offered  a la carte, and we enjoyed the sautéed mushrooms, sugar snap peas, and seafood rice. The wine list was presented on the menu, and had numerous California, French, Chilean, and Australian selections in the $20-50 range.  We chose a moderately-priced Sauvignon Blanc from the Central Coast which complemented our entrees nicely. In addition, a higher priced “reserve” wine list is presented separately, where the vintage costs start at 3 figures. While we skipped dessert, numerous selections were available, and we watched other diners enjoy themselves in rich concoctions. EddieV’s also has locations in downtown Austin as well as Scottsdale, Arizona. The concept was developed by the same two fellows who started Z’Tejas  Get more "Jetset Dining with Joel Chusid" here.
