    Food was tasty and creative. Cocktails were as well. Staff was attentive and personalized the experience for my wife’s birthday. This place is our favorite restaurant for their quality and tonight only further confirmed our feeling. Thank you!

    The salad was uninspiring . Of three of us who ordered medium filet all were overdone. Two complained but I didn’t bother. The vegetables were good. None of the desserts on the menu inspired us to order. A gorgeous restaurant but the food wasn’t. Kate who waited on us was lovely. We had expected a special evening but it was all a bit disappointing.

    Everything about the Edison was over the top. From the minute you walk in and greet the manager until the end of your experience it was wonderful. We had the short ribs as an appetizer and the chicken dish and we couldn’t say it could’ve been any better our bartender Hunter was amazing. We’ve talked about it all day and can’t wait to go back wonderful wonderful experience.

    It was a perfect evening. The small amount of noise from the bar area during the week night added the perfect amount of energy to the dinner. The room was beautiful, and the green kitchen was amazing to see. Of course the food was perfect, from the scallops and truffle pasta to the salmon and filet. What made the birthday celebration the best was the service. Absolute perfection from the team, not a beat was missed. They were also accommodating to the allergies that we had. We would recommend 100 times over, don’t miss out!
