    Overall nice experience! Alex our server was outstanding. Brandon was right on top of answering questions for our vegetarian guest and made an excellent mimosa! Only complaint was I didn’t realize the carving and omelette station was in another room - but that’s on me. Brunch buffet choices were plentiful with lots of variety.

    Edwins' new restaurant is simply AMAZING. It maintains the stellar quality and warmth of the old restaurant, while nestling into the unique and beautiful new location. The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly, making every effort to create a memorable visit for us. The owner checked in with us multiple times and interacted with all guests to make sure their needs were consistently being met. We will continue to visit often. We are so happy for them in their new endeavors!!!

    I really wanted to love Edwins given its admirable mission and reputation, but unfortunately, our recent experience left a lot to be desired. While the intentions behind the restaurant are commendable, the execution—especially in terms of service and ambiance—fell short. Our servers were kind and well-meaning, but it was clear they weren’t adequately trained. They struggled to answer basic questions about both the menu and the drink list, and often seemed unsure or unprepared. It made ordering feel awkward and a bit frustrating. The ambiance on the patio also didn’t hit the mark. The music was far too loud for a dinner setting, making conversation difficult, and the overall vibe felt disjointed and not particularly welcoming. I genuinely hope this was just an off night, and I remain supportive of Edwin’s larger mission. With stronger training and more attention to the atmosphere, I believe it could truly live up to its potential

    We shared the goats cheese salad , then coq au vin and ratatouille. All the food was delicious. Crème Brûlée was wonderful. Service was sweet. Like the portion sizes ; just about right. Very nice evening . All the rooms feel different - we were in the second dining room which was ok - a little dark. Look forward to trying other things next time !
