Great food and service! The cocktails need a little bit more love and creativity. The noise level is deafening at times because of the open loft space. Otherwise great place to gather and eat

Everything about the Edison was over the top. From the minute you walk in and greet the manager until the end of your experience it was wonderful. We had the short ribs as an appetizer and the chicken dish and we couldn’t say it could’ve been any better our bartender Hunter was amazing. We’ve talked about it all day and can’t wait to go back wonderful wonderful experience.
