    It is a great place with decent food but very overpriced. Not a lot of food options either but the Edison cocktail was very good

    Server saw we had an infant and was very inattentive to our needs and only checked on us once. We had 6 people and the 18% gratuity was automatic and we feel this may have attributed to the problem. It took nearly 2 hours from being seated to paying the check. All for hamburgers and fries.

    I think the whole concept is overrated. Great idea, fantastic drinks. Food was barely average, and service seemed forced. The "show" was weak, and all they did was talk with very little actual music.

    We made a reservation, but they seemed short staffed. Our server was hustling but raced by our table. We only asked for one water and drink refill, so we were not high maintenance. The best thing was the pretzel. The namesake “Edison” old fashioned was so sour that I had to add water and ice to get it down. We also ordered Calamari, each salad, spicy chicken sandwich, and a burger. No one wanted to return. Seems like it should be fun inside and I wanted to enjoy it, but the experience wasn’t great. Their cocktail menu said they were paying special attention to mixology or something like that, so I was shocked the cocktail was so cloying. I think burgers and beer would be a safe bet. They had a DJ at 7, but we had to leave so I can’t speak to the ambiance for that.

    The atmosphere and band are amazing. The food and drinks are good, but the drinks are very over priced. I would make this a restaurant to eat at!!
