    My friend and I had been to Nighttown for lunch before they closed. She lives in Cleveland Heights and it was one of her favorites. We were excited to patronize Edwins in that historic spot. We had an early dinner at 5pm. We sat on the patio. The patio needs some atmosphere. It’s a great space but feels like you’re dining in a garage. Mr. Chrostowski was there and checked on every table personally. My friend told him the patio needs some plants and he said they would be redecorating it soon. The blue cheese butter served with the table bread was delicious. The wine was a generous serving. My mixed green salad was fantastic. My friend got the mushroom risotto and she loved it. I had the shrimp scampi. It was okay but could’ve used more garlic or some parmesan. We got the beignets with caramel sauce and they were steamy hot and yummy. I would like to see a raspberry sauce with them. My friend ordered a chai coffee and the cream curdled in the drink, but she drank it. The service was good and by the time we left around 7pm, it was packed. Very exciting, thriving atmosphere. Be aware that navigating the narrow halls takes a bit of patience with patrons and servers constantly passing each other. I love the fact that you can either valet or park in The Ascent parking garage. I will definitely dine at Edwins more frequently now that it is in this new, more convenient spot. Keep up the good work, Edwins!

    We had a great experience. The place was super busy and the staff was super efficient. Good food, reasonable prices, what’s not to like. The beignets were fantastic.

    My wife and I went for our anniversary, we had reservations for the Brasserie at 5:45PM on a Thursday. There were still open tables, but the whole restaurant (Bar, Brasserie, and Fine Dining) pretty much filled up after that. While it wasn't quiet, we could still easily talk to each other during the visit. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. The American Cabernet and the Black Manhattan were excellent. The escargot appetizer was delicious and we enjoyed their great bread with it. My wife thought her Duck Confit with mushroom risotto was the best ever. My Coq au Vin, which came with mushrooms, carrots, and mashed potatoes was terrific. The Chocolate Pyramid and Bananas Foster were wonderful for dessert. They added an additional plate that was decorated with "Happy Anniversary" and a lighted candle. Made for a great evening.

    Nice to experience Edwin’s bistro in the nightgown location. The salad Nicoise was top notch. Steak frite very good. However the roast trout was (lightly) battered and fried. Good service.

    Everything was wonderful at the new Edwins space. First time dining at the new location and it did not disappoint. The service was on point along with very high quality food in a timely manner.

    We were seated on the patio which was unevenly heated and "featured " a large television. The tables were a little too small. The food and the service were excellent. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Three of us ordered the salmon, which was delicious and one of us ordered the duck, which they really enjoyed. We will definitely be back.

    I’ve had a better brunch buffet at a Hampton inn. Service was terrible and food was completely average. NOT worth the money for brunch. Dinner is usually pretty good though.

    We sat in the brasserie. It was overly crowded. The meal was poorly managed. Food was not timed properly and we had to ask multiple times where things were. Waiter had no knowledge of the food. Very small portions as if for a child. The room for the brasserie was so tight that every time a wait staff went by they bumped my chair which is incredibly annoying when it happens 100 times. I hope that the fine dining side is better because this is NOT the Edwin’s I remember.
