    Never had dinner here, so I decided to try it with brunch. Didn't disappoint. Parsnip soup is flavorful and rich and warms me up just right. I ordered the mushroom benedict with a side of sausage links. My partner picked the happy valley beef cheeks with pasta. I love the flavors and portions of our order. Service is attentive. I look forward to the culinary adventure here with my next dinner!

    My new favorite restaurant in Bethlehem. I love the ambience, the visual aesthetic, the atmosphere was warm, inviting and lively at the same time great job on that! it was my first time at Edge but the atmosphere felt very mature and pleasant. The food and drinks were fantastic! bar tenders definitely know what they are doing, friendly service from all the staff. I love the crystals and artwork the built into the aesthetic made the atmosphere very enjoyable for me. I had the filet mignon, and the crab cakes which were both delightful. You have to try the Broad Street Manhattan!

    Wow, I’ve never had a dining experience quite like it!!! Staff and service went above and beyond. It was Valentine’s Day, and the staff signed a card for us! The food was so fresh and flavorful. The flavor of that Caesar salad… I’ll be raving about it forever.

    Abby, (Management) and Jasmine (my fabulous, friendly Waitress with) et al..I can't say enough about their courtesy, constant attentiveness the ambiance, the gastronomical pleasure, the fact that me, myself and I were overwhelmed with the feeling of plenty of self-love. It did not matter that my date could not make it on this particular socially interpreted holiday. It was a night that melted my heart in so many wonderful ways. I am sharing this experience with everyone I know and whomever I meet. A perfect place to enjoy for all of your plans. I am looking forward to the "CHEERS" feeling again and again. This was no coincidence. Enjoy!
