   We had breakfast here 6 out of 7 days. Twice they were out of bakery. Service was quick. One afternoon we took advantage of happy hour. The fries were underwhelming and took a long time to arrive.

   Located in The Mayflower Hotel, The Edgar offers a nice variety of freshly prepared foods. Had breakfast twice while guests at the hotel. Well prepared. Decent portions. Accommodating and friendly service. There were complaints about cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the in-restaurant restrooms during our stay. Definitely something that needs attention.

   The shrimp and crab risotto and other food was just fair, the restaurant was noisy, and the waitress was unfriendly and a bit rude. We had hoped for a nicer experience.

   The food and service was amazing. I got the brussel sprouts, fries, and wings and finished with the toffee pudding. 10/10! The only issue I ran into was my drink. The glass had a larger purple lipstick stain on it. When I pointed it out to our server, he immediately swapped it out with a clean glass. However, when that is the way the meal starts, it made me skeptical of the dishes throughout the rest of the meal. Thankfully, the manager got the drink removed from our bill. Other than that, a great experience!

   Mediocre food, good drinks, slow service. Kids menu was great for my little kids: burgers, chicken strips, noodles…all with fries.

   Not an exceptional experience. Water guys kept us hydrated which was about it. Better options for fine dining for sure.

   Odd, slow service. Consider this a bar w food. Not a restaurant.

    We recently visited Edgar Bar & Kitchen during a stay at The Mayflower Hotel, and our experience was a bit of a mixed bag. Upon arrival, we were seated in the rear section of the restaurant, which felt more like a cafeteria than a dining area, especially when compared to the front, which has a cozy pub-like atmosphere. Initially, we were seated at a table with noticeable spots, but the hostess quickly had a gentleman wipe it down, and he apologized. Unfortunately, before I could sit down, I spotted a used spoon at the place setting that was covered in froth from either hot chocolate or cream. At that point, we politely asked to be moved to a booth in the other section, which was quickly arranged. For brunch, we ordered buttermilk pancakes, French toast made with brioche bread topped with fresh berries, fingerling potatoes, two croissants, scrambled eggs, and chicken sausages. While the food was decent, nothing stood out as extraordinary—everything was simply average. The orange juice was particularly disappointing with a strange aftertaste, and at $5 per glass, it felt overpriced for the quality. However, the wait staff deserves a mention for their efficiency and friendliness. They were attentive throughout the meal, and their service was a bright spot in our experience. Overall, the convenience of the restaurant’s location within the hotel was a plus, but given the food quality and some initial cleanliness issues, we’re unlikely to dine there again.
