Place was pretty empty. The food was cold twice and it was a simple burger and fries. I actually topped $1 for every step the waitress. She took 8. They did comp the burger but honestly was pretty bad. The drink was $18 and was ok at best. Was very quiet. We had reservations at 6 on a holiday Monday. Overall pretty sad

Everyone that worked there was wonderful but service from bar was still slow despite multiple bars. Great ambiance and music was a steampunk speakeasy, with throwback Gatsby versions of modern tunes. Food was very good. Relaxing vibe. Was not perfect 5 star, but would recommend and definitely go back.

The Edison isn’t what it used to be. I have been here nearly a dozen times and this was the worst. I feel that the service wasn’t what it used to be. They should also expand the menu. It’s very limited and basic.

We were sat right away and service was prompt. Their knowledge of cocktails and spirited drinks was great and informative to us. I enjoyed a Strawberry Field cocktail and electric-fries which were delish. Drinks were pricier than average but the atmosphere was cool with the industrial vibe.

The Edison was a wicked fun place to take my son for special occasion. He loved the steampunk decor. The service was amazing and the food was great. I would definitely take him again so he can see the show at night. The only downside is that it's very expensive. I definitely wasn't planning on spending $90 on tea, a burger, a chicken sandwich, and bacon. But.... My son absolutely loved the experience and service was awesome! We loved Sabrina! We'll be back for the show and get appetizers 😁

We got stuck in a corner, food was mediocre with a huge price tag that didn’t match, service wasn’t great either. The drinks were good. If we had been sat near a window or near the live music I would’ve given an extra star. My short ribs had no flavor and the burgers were so-so. Cool decor but I wouldn’t go back.

Overall was a ok experience. Our server was awesome very attentive. But the restaurant was not very clean . We had 5 in our party but they sat us at huge booth table that could seat 10+ and it was filthy we had to ask the hosts to have someone wipe it down. Someone came and barely touched it with a cloth. The food was ok nothing amazing. Probably won’t be back.

I went to The Edison yesterday with my family and while the ambience was great, the food and our experience wasn’t. The fries we ordered were cold and not fresh, on top of that, I don’t get the hype as there weren’t enough toppings to cover all the fries. Additionally, two orders of fries came out when we ordered one order of fries and one of calamari but they did remedy this as soon as we told our server. The soda machine ran out so they had to refill it before giving us more sodas, which wasn’t a big issue but something to point out. All the meats came out at the wrong temperature than what we requested. We ordered three orders of the Edison burger and two flat iron steaks which were not cooked to the way we requested. One flat iron steak was inedible and had to be sent back; not only was the quality of the meat not good, but it was raw. The two burgers and the chicken sandwich came out correct and tasted really good. When we told our host about the one steak that was inedible, he got the manager to come out and the manager took the food back and said our server would be back to offer another meal in place of the food sent back but the server never acknowledged it. Besides this, our host was really nice.

We were here for Mother's Day. Nothing special with this day. Even having a reservation it took more than 15 minutes to assign me a table. We ordered the Flat Iron Steak Medium and they brought us a chopped shoe sole, garnished with caramelized onion. My son ordered a hamburger from the kid's menu and they brought something less than a McDonalds hamburger. The total price of the meal above $100. I think this restaurant is pathetic even for tourists. A good pizza slide at the restaurant next door is preferable.

A bit pricey for the mediocre quality of food. Understand that it was Mother’s Day, but food quality should not suffer because how busy it is. The short ribs flatbread had virtually no meat on it, and the flat iron steak was way underseasoned, if seasoned at all. On the plus side, the service was excellent, especially for the crowd size they had. And the manager, upon being informed about the quality of the flatbread by the server, immediately, without any prompting, informed us that the price would be taken off our check due to there being a known issue with insufficient meat on this particular flatbread. A nice gesture, certainly, but we would have rather paid for it and had it be up to standards.
