    The food and service were fine. The noise level was higher than we expected. It was a bit louder than it should have been to hold a good conversation.

    Wonderful salads. Attended a business meeting and staff was respectful of our need to be left alone, yet came over to make sure our needs were met.

    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.
