Best French Restaurants in Shaker Heights

Dining at Edwins is always a delight! My shared dinner with two dear friends was no exception. It began with seating. My friend commented on how cold the night air was and if we could sit where it would be cozy. The host scanned the room of diners and decided, with a brief consultation, to seat us in the private dining area. We had the curtained room to ourselves, but service to our remote table could not have been more accommodating! In search of a wine, the chef, John, pulled himself from a busy kitchen to offer a single bottle remaining from an event he had hosted earlier this season. It was a superb Saint-Estèphe. So began a memorable meal that started with foie gras, perfectly seared, tender, and served with roasted apples and Calvados sauce. Sublime. The salad was a croquet of goat cheese with crisp fresh greens, and our three dinners were grilled rabbit, grouper, and seafood sausage in lemon butter wine sauce. Everyone was pleased with their choice. The food, wine, and conversation flowed with unobtrusive and impeccable service and a warm visit from the restaurant impresario himself, Brandon Crostowski. We were too full to try the desserts and were honoring our New Year's resolutions. We hope to return soon and maybe start with dessert?

Food was wonderful and the service was great! Definitely want to come back to try other dishes!!

Best restaurant in Cleveland! A portal of joy and exquisite cuisine. Order rose quartz. The mussels, octopus, oysters, beet salad, and tuna are a cut above.

The food was amazing! And the quiet ambiance enhanced the experience. The only disappointment was the coffee at the end. I would have expected a much smoother and less bitter choice by the restaurant.

It was my first time here so was not aware that it was a walk up and order type of restaurant but the staff was very friendly and helpful. The coffees were outstanding and the food was unique and very delicious! I will definitely be back to try something else on the menu.
