Scheduled for Launch Soon

    (Fort Worth, Texas) --- Eddie V’s Restaurants, Inc. owners and longtime friends Guy Villavaso and Larry Foles have announced that they will open Eddie V’s Prime Seafood in the much-anticipated Museum Place development in Fort Worth’s Cultural District.

    “ We love Texas, and we especially love Fort Worth,” said Mr. Foles, a longtime Texan and Austin resident. “The flavors of Fort Worth’s business, social, and cultural scenes blend perfectly at Museum Place, and we are thrilled to be the newest destination for prime seafood and steaks.”

    At Eddie V’s, diners can expect an award-winning menu with selections flown in daily, as well as the finest, specialty-aged Midwestern USDA Prime center cut beef, all served with warm and genuine hospitality that borders on fanaticism. The depth of excellence in the wine list will complement Eddie V’s fine cuisine. And nightly live music in the V-Lounge will be paired with a raw bar and drink specials to tantalize ear drums and tempt taste buds of Fort Worth patrons.


    At the helm of Eddie V’s Fort Worth are General Manager Richard Sabatowski and Head Chef Bill Greenwood overseeing the attractive 350-seat restaurant, which includes three private dining rooms and the V-Lounge.

    Mr. Villavaso and Mr. Foles strive for a world class experience for all senses in every Eddie V’s restaurant, and the Fort Worth concept will be no exception. The company’s longtime architects are DPA Architects, Inc., a firm based in Scottsdale, Ariz. The owners collaborate closely with the architects for a finished product that will be stylish, comfortable, and energetic.
