Description

Eclipse dazzles with a varied, upscale menu centered on seafood and steak. The showstopper is a generous crab cake BLT perched on a fried green tomato with applewood bacon; other highlights include snapper, mussels with angel hair, trout, venison, duck, lamb and filet—each praised for execution. Service is consistently attentive and accommodating, making the restaurant a favorite for romantic dinners, anniversaries and group celebrations. Minor gripe: a buttery spinach side felt overdone. Overall, a hidden gem worth returning to.

I had a fantastic experience! The food and service were outstanding. Our server, Mike, suggested the Crab BLT, which was absolutely delightful. I enjoyed the fresh Snapper, and my husband had the duck. Oh my gosh! I can't wait to return. Definitely a top choice!

Great restaurant, the server Gabriel was great and thank you to the cook for my request. The mussels and angel hair pasta were delicious. My husband had trout and said it was the best he ever had. We will definitely come back.

We loved Eclipse absolutely! My wife and I visited us for the anniversary and were recommended to this place. It didn't disappoint! Our server Mike was fantastic and the food was delicious. Very recommended to check this restaurant when you are in town.

Wow, this place is absolutely incredible! The previous review about the crab cake BLT is completely off-base. With over 4oz of lump crab sitting atop a fried green tomato and topped with applewood smoked bacon, it was the best crab dish and appetizer I’ve ever had. Don’t miss out on this amazing dish! My wife ordered the filet, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned, while I had the venison with sweet potato. The only downside to the whole experience was the spinach on the side, which was overly drenched in butter. Don’t hesitate to visit this hidden gem; it’s the best food I’ve enjoyed in a very long time! Fantastic job, and we’ll definitely be back!
