"Eddie is the man!. Eddie 's is a great place to escape the crowds up on Phinney Ridge on a Friday night. Having just recently moved from his former digs on Mercer Island, Chef Eddie 's new place is an as yet undiscovered gem on the corner of Aurora and 79th, a couple blocks from Green Lake.<br/ <br/ The menu looks a bit daunting at first it 's broken down into three parts: standard Thai/fusion fare, 'Eddie 's Tofu House, ' (vegetarian tofu based dishes) and a 'Light ' menu that consists of dishes cooked with little or no oil.<br/ <br/ The Thai curry dishes are decent but nothing special. The Cashew Chicken is a stand out entree, but if you 're trying the place out for the first time, you HAVE to have the Tamarind Halibut. It is Eddie 's specialty and it 's not quite like anything I 've tasted before. The Halibut melts in your mouth, and the bold Tamarind sauce is a decadent mingling of sweet and savory.<br/ <br/ The greatest thing about Eddie 's, though, is Chef Eddie himself. The entire staff consists of him and his wife. They treat all of their customers like family, so don 't be surprised when Eddie comes out of the kitchen for a chat. The last time I was at Eddie 's, he asked me about the people I came with the first time I was there two months ago! It 's nice to see a business owner who truly cares about his customers! Highly recommended!"
