Eddie Merlot's

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

An Exceptional Experience in Bloomfield Hills

On Woodward Avenue in Bloomfield Hills, Eddie Merlot's sets a clear standard for what an upscale American steakhouse can be. The restaurant's own description is direct: "an upscale contemporary American steakhouse where we strive to provide an Exceptional Experience for all of our guests." Elegant interiors, USDA Prime Beef, and attentive service define every visit, whether you're stopping in for a weekday dinner or marking a special occasion.

Prime Beef, Fresh Seafood, and a Serious Wine Program

The menu centers on prime-aged steaks and fresh seafood — two pillars that give the kitchen a focused identity. Craft cocktails round out the drinks side, but it's the wine list that has drawn particular notice: Wine Spectator recognized Eddie Merlot's with its Award of Excellence in 2023, a distinction that reflects genuine depth and curation rather than a list assembled for appearances.

That commitment to wine isn't incidental. The restaurant publishes detailed guidance on pairing specific cuts with the right bottle — matching a ribeye's marbled richness to a tannin-forward Cabernet Sauvignon, or letting a lean filet mignon find its complement in a smoother Pinot Noir. It's the kind of literacy that shapes how staff talk about the list at the table.

Beyond the Dining Room

Eddie Merlot's Bloomfield Hills accommodates more than dinner for two. Private events and parties are a distinct part of the offering, with dedicated facilities for groups larger than twelve. Pickup, delivery, and catering options extend the steakhouse experience beyond the restaurant itself — useful for those who want the same quality at a corporate lunch or home gathering.

The location is part of a wider group of Eddie Merlot's restaurants across the Midwest and beyond, each described as delivering a unique experience through consistent standards. In Bloomfield Hills, that means a room and a menu built for guests who take both their steak and their wine seriously.
