   First time at Edison…… love the inside of the place with a great long bar. Food was excellent and other than our server, the staff was extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend.

   This was my first visit to the Edison and I had heard good things so was excited to visit. I was greeted at the door by two very cheerful hosts who promptly walked me to my table where my friends were already sitting. Our waitress was cheerful and friendly and greeted me quickly. I ordered a Black Dahlia and it was delicious-got a second one with my dinner. For dinner I ordered a New York Strip and a House Salad. I appreciated that the menu has clearly marked items that are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian. It was with the dinner service that I was disappointed. My steak was ordered Medium-rare and was done correctly but it had little flavor and was only lukewarm, as were the bordelaise sauce and the roasted shallots that came with it. The meat was tougher than I'd think would be fitting of a quality steak. For the price, I would expect a prime cut and this was most likely choice or even select cut. The salad was sizable, but absolutely drenched in the dressing thus making it very soggy. The menu said it would have goat cheese, dried figs, and candied walnuts and it was difficult to find these extras in the soggy lettuce bed. (The sherry vinaigrette was tasty though even if there was way too much). My companion also ordered a steak, (the filet), and we both had to ask for a steak knife, which I feel should be placed on the table without asking. So, in summary, the staff was cheerful and eager to please-maybe they got a little bit overseated, as it got really busy, and a few details got missed but that is not their fault. The cocktails were fantastic. Location and vibe were on point. But...the kitchen was a definite disappointment and I did come for the food, thus only 3 stars. I would return for a cocktail and the ambiance but not for a meal.

   Hello Heidi, Please accept my sincere apologies with regard to the inconsistent experience you unfortunately received when you chose to dine with us at The Edison. I am concerned with regard to the cuisine and drop off in service. I have brought your thoughtful notes to my executive chef and our sous chef as well as the management team so that we may work to understand and correct our missteps immediately. We will be working with our servers to coach them on proper attention to detail, particularly when presetting a table for the next course. Heidi your feedback is paramount to us being accountable for the expectations of all of our valued guests such as yourself. I truly hope you will consider us again in the near future.

   This has become my second favorite restaurant in the Third Ward. The service is outstanding at the bar and while eating and the noise level make it easy to talk with the people you are with. People of all ages eating there, so very fun. The menu is exactly what you expect and the ribeye is as good as it gets. Medium rare was the exact temperature our server suggested.

   Excellent food and service. The short ribs were fantastic and the bolognese was delicious. Highly recommend the pigs in a blanket as an appetizer. Server was attentive and friendly. Already made reservations for another dinner.

    Double date night. Service was excellent. Nice drink selection. Their Old Fashion had a lighter, fresher taste than the heavy ones you get in the supper club. Pricing was on par with the area. Portions appear small, but the flavor is so good and rich, you don't need more. Ordered 2 apps; pigs in a blanket and rolls with honeybutter. Pigs had nice tangy flavor and rolls were puffy and soft. Mains were Gnocchi (toasty on the outside soft in the middle), Risotto (everyone loves risotto), Cacio E Pepe (cheesy flavor, thought it would be more peppery), and Beef Short Rib (melt in your mouth). If you like Creme Brulee, this was very good, more broiled than flamed.
