    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!

    We were pleasantly surprised to grab reservations late in the day on Valentine's Day. Our server was extremely pleasant and attentive. There were 5 of us. The table started with the olive appetizer as well as the braised short rib ravioli special. For entrees, two had the steak on the stone, one had the lamb shank, another had the roasted chicken, and I had the shrimp appetizer for my dinner. All food was served timely and tasted delicious. We are frequent diners here and typically always have a positive experience; this was no different.

    The Crab and Corn Chowder is phenomenal! It is chock-full of deliciousness. It’s a very hearty soup that can almost double as a meal with the fresh and hot dinner rolls. The House Salad is also a great choice. The pickled strawberries and the goat cheese combined with the crunchy texture of the walnuts makes your mouth very happy. The dressing is not overwhelming either. You won’t leave the restaurant hungry even if you just get the soup and salad. That being said, we have enjoyed their main entrees which are also delicious, fresh and filling. Our server, Mark, is a genuinely nice person who seems to really enjoy his work. Ask to be seated in his section if he’s available. You won’t regret it!
