    Impeccable. The staff anticipates your every need without being intrusive. From menu recommendations, their knowledge and passion for Italian cuisine shine through. It’s clear that hospitality is taken as seriously as the food itself. 10/10 would recommend and return with friends.

    The Edison has a great vibe! Cocktails were good (we ordered traditional as well as on menu). Food was super good - wide variety of mains that everyone enjoyed. We were celebrating christmas with our family and received excellent service of Alex. We also appreciated the free round of drinks from the owner who my niece chatted with at the bar :) That was a very kind gesture! We will be back for sure! Great place for locals and out of towners!!
