I've actually been coming to the Eden Bar for a long time now. I've always just associated it with the Enzian. Yesterday it dawned on me that it's a separate business with a separate Yelp page, so here we go.
We get here a few hours before the movie starts, because MoviePass, and we decided to chill out at Eden Bar and grab some food & drinks while studying. Long story. The seating options are great. You can be at the big bar, around the periphery, or down near the beautiful fountain. We sat somewhere in between underneath an umbrella on a beautiful day.
Our server was super nice and brought waters right away, which was good, because we needed some time to think. We knew we wanted to get an option that wasn't offered on the Enzian menu inside. Might as well try the exclusives.
We ended up ordering the Shrimp & Loaded Grits (Grits loaded with cheddar, bacon & green onion, topped with Cajun spiced fried shrimp), the Eden Burger (100% Wagyu beef burger with lettuce, tomato, 3-year aged cheddar, and peppery mayo), and a side of truffle fries because they were on happy hour.
The grits weren't as loaded as I was expecting from the menu, but they were still very well cooked and there was a plentiful amount to go with my shimps, which were cooked very nicely. I was quite happy with this dish. Good flavors, and a duo of nice sauces on top of the grits.
The Eden Burger was overcooked, but the nice beef flavor was there and really awesome. A nice simple salt 'n' pepper seasoning made this burger really enjoyable even though it was overcooked. The mac & cheese on the side was nice, too, with shavings of parmesan cheese on top. Yum!
The fries were awesome, as always. The truffle flavor is just the perfect amount, and they give you a lot of parmesan on top for enjoyment. The ketchup might or might not be special, but for $4 on happy hour, I don't think I could ever say no to this side.
Overall, this place is a really great place to hangout, and they throw really good Halloween parties. The perfect little friend to the next-door Enzian. I love this place.
