    Great atmosphere. Excellent service and live piano was a nice touch. Food was fantastic and priced nicely. I will definitely be returning on a regular basis, and knowing that it all supports a wonderful cause makes it that much more enjoyable.

    There are two restaurants in one. The brasserie and the Fine Dining. I chose the fine dining. We had lobster bisque soup and caviar for apps. The lobster bisque soup wasn't like most I've had before. There was fresh lobster added into a thick, brown creamy soup. This was delicious but different. The caviar came with egg yolks & whites, scallions, little bread pancakes, & a few other toppings. It was very tasty. We also got a bottle of Taittinger Champaign, which chef Brandon Edwin Chrostowski FOUNDER, PRESIDENT AND CEO FOUNDER, PRESIDENT AND CEO recommended. This was a 10/10 for taste. For the main course we did the ribeye steak and potatoes. We had fries and asparagus on the side. All the food was excellent, 10/10 for presentation and taste. The service was top notch. We had our waiter and other staff checking on us every few minutes. Staff were friendly, kind, and attentive. Brandon Edwin Chrostowski checked on us several times as well and asked about the food and our experience. This is a great restaurant for a romantic evening or important event. I highly recommend. As for cost, it was expensive, so check prices before you order.

    As always, the food here was wonderful. It's no surprise that Chef Brandon Chrostowski is a James Beard award winner this year. The new location is much bigger than the old location, with live Jazz music in a large room and several smaller rooms for an intimate meal. There is also a large patio for al fresco dining in warmer weather. The mission of the place is both important and matches the food in terms of success. Visit the restaurant's website to learn more. EDWINS, as always, is very much worth the visit. We look forward to returning soon.

    First time in the he Brasserie. Excellent experience. Best wings in town. Fantastic steak tartare. Delicious onion soup. Staff a little rough on service. They bring out items and aren't sure which table or diner ordered but reflects only a learning curve. They all work hard.

    What an amazing restaurant and concept. The menu had so many options and prices were very reasonable. I can't wait to go back. My only suggestion is there were too many tables in the room we were sitting in and it was difficult for wait staff to manipulate

    I know that Edwin's is training it's team of waiters, but at this meal, my meal was not what I ordered and the other 2 people at the table got my meal and I got theirs. The there was also a mixup with my desert order and I got a different desert than I had ordered. It was corrected and I was offered both deserts but took a long time. All the food was delicious, however.
