    The lighting at this restaurant is very dim. It was challenging to read the menu. We ordered the steak, his medium rare and mine medium. His was cooked medium well, mine was charred black and well done. I ended up taking mine home for our dog. The kitchen is also quite heavy handed with the salt, if this is an issue for you, I recommend asking them to go easy on the salt.

    Our time at Edna’s was absolutely lovey. Everything was delicious, there were so many well paired yet surprising flavours. Our server was quiet and charming and only came around as needed. The ambiance was cosy and quiet, perhaps because it was a weeknight—we loved being able to converse without shouting.

    Edna NEVER disappoints! Edna has the best brunch! We love supporting a local business and the space is so homey and warm which is only emphasized by the service.
