    Fantastic food. Wonderful service. Folks are learning to be servers, and they are so appreciative of the customers. It is a wonderful place and a fantastic experience. Try the lamb crop appetizer. SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT!

    We ate in the Bistro . Service was not on par and the food was average . Had to send lamb chop back twice . Hamburger way overcooked and lacked flavor . Sorbet very sweet and didn’t eat . Waiter didn’t take off bill Two large groups made dinning very unpleasant . Very disappointed Table very small for 4 people . No place for food Waiters confused on food delivery . Wrong order to our table Food not coursed properly

    I am sorry to say. I had heard about this establishment and all that it stands for and was thrilled. I fully support this idea. When I looked on line and saw how nice it was i was filled with excitement. The reality was when I arrived it was nothing like the pictures. We were sat it a small dark dingy room. I even had to ask them to turn the lights on. The food was fair at best. I was crushed internally. I was really hoping for this great place that I could see wonderful changes for people who worked hard to get there. On a lighter note our waiter was super nice and respectful. I am hoping this was just a fluke. Maybe I should have asking for nicer seating before i sat down. I did try to look around a bit to see if i had been missing where the pictures on line may have been taken but saw nothing like the pictures anywhere.

    Excellent food at Edwin’s. Service is very good especially considering most of the staff is in training. Our server was very attentive to our needs. Brandon always stops by and checks on how our experience is. It’s one of our go to places for an evening out!

    Edwin’s is a great place to eat and drink. It’s a lively atmosphere even outside. It did get a little loud but they eventually turned down the music. The service was amazing. Everyone who served, took orders, delivered drinks was simply wonderful. We enjoyed our food as well. Highly recommend the braised beef with mashed potatoes and the pan fried trout. Mussels were delicious minus the mayo. I’d put that on the side along with the fries. Otherwise, kuddos to Edwin’s!

    As always, the service was exceptional, the presentation was spot on, chef Brandon came out to greet everybody, and thank them, the duck was sublime, the seafood sausage is delicious, and the chocolate pyramid, oh my goodness. I came to celebrate my birthday with a very special friend from out of town. He was blown away, and we will return many times again! Thank you, Edwins, for making my birthday special.

    I think the concept of what Brandon is doing is great. But let’s get serving 101 done. Take menus after ordering, greet and bring water to the table within minutes of seating, clean table before setting new tableware. The basics were NOT covered. The server did not know the word “gratuity” we asked if it was included. If you are going high end they need much more simple training. Our appetizers arrived over an hour after we were seated, our food arrived 15 minutes later one and a half hours after seating . Won’t be coming back but good luck.
