Word of mouth sent us to Edwin's. The word was not wrong.

From valet parking to superb meals, the service was excellent and welcoming.
Our cocktails were well made and the ladies cosmos's were rated by them as top shelf.

We will be back.

We had been here about 1 1/2 years ago & had great food and service. This time not so good.

We enjoyed our visit to Edwin's. The food was good- the concept behind the start of this place is truly awesome. Kudos to the owner!

What a pleasure it was to dine at Edwin’s! We were in from out of town and chose it by chance. Service and food were extraordinary. It wasn’t until the bill came and we saw that it is a 501(c)(3) that we looked up and read about the special purpose that this outstanding restaurant serves. Amazing and moving. Thank you all for the opportunity to share in your journeys in such a delicious way.

Absolutely, without a doubt, the BEST dining experience we've had in Cleveland! From the moment you walk in the door, your every wish is attended to. The BEST STAFF ANYWHERE...BY FAR! Each staff member is friendly, fast, professional, attentive, thoughtful, and sincerely committed to making your experience at Edwin's the best it can possibly be. Phenomenally prepared food, perfect portions, flawless presentation, and superb service, all add up to a great dining experience. Attention to detail is evident everywhere at Edwin's, from the friendly greetings and coat check as you enter, to the perfectly groomed yin-yang salt & pepper dishes at each table, to the freshly laundered guest towels in the restrooms...thought has been devoted to it all. Jordan Levine was our host on the evening we dined at Edwin's, and he was masterfully gracious to all of his guests. Hats off to Brandon Chrostowski for creating such a fantastically powerful force for positive change in Cleveland. I can't wait for summer when the sidewalk cafe is open outside! SEE YOU THERE!

Fantastic food and service-as always. Beautiful decor. nearby parking. Busy even early on a Thursday. Love Shaker Square.

This is an “experience” more than “going out to dinner.” The Vision and Mission of Edwin’s is reason enough to purposefully reserve dinner here. And if you haven’t already, schedule a tour on their website. In our CLEVELAND backyard is something so special, it’s a “must visit” restaurant. I am blown away by their passion and commitment to make this world a better place by positively impacting those wanting to make positive change in their life. Hats off to EDWINS and everyone who supports this mission. The food is great, the staff was all wonderful and the experience highly impactful. Check it out!

Excellent choice for a low key birthday dinner... the food, the service, and the ambiance all came together superbly.
And it is a non profit! Read about its mission on its website.

Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed the food and the ambiance of the restaurant. My only complaint was that the wait staff, although energetic and attentive, was too intrusive at times. Sometimes the customers just want to be left alone to enjoy the meal and each others company.

It was a great time by all in my party. Thank you.
We had appetizers main course dinner it was all fantastic what great service we received.

We had a lovely dinner with great food. The highlight was the bananas foster for dessert. My husband's steak was overcooked but they gave him a complimentary salad to eat while they prepared another one. Lots of nice attention to details and outstanding service.

They work hard to make sure you are well taken care of in order to ensure your return visit. Your happiness is their success and they make sure to give you nothing less.

Birthday celebration

Excellent preparation of some of my favorite French culinary delights. The service could use a bit of polishing, however, it is a training occupational opportunity for many of the staff. We will definitely return our next trip to Cleveland.

A great experience overall! Having lived in Europe for years the French cuisine was on Pointe! Service very attentive!

Excellent food service and ambience

Only issue we ran into was that my girlfriend is vegetarian BUT also has a mushroom allergy. I would recommend including more vegetarian dishes that aren't all centered around mushrooms/include mushrooms. Because of that she could only eat a salad for her entrée or the cauliflower dish which sounded like just a big piece of cauliflower. But, I would definitely go back! The cheese lady was super nice.

Great food PLUS a great mission. Four stars on service because it seemed to be a new class starting but lovely evening. One of our favorite places to eat.

Simply awesome. Run, don’t walk to this restaurant for a fabulous experience. Try a burger table side- delicious!

My first experience with this restaurant, and I hope there will be many more. All was excellent, and the mission of the owner is being superbly fulfilled.

We all loved all the courses. Everything was fresh and delicious. The desserts were amazing.I highly recommend Edwin's for special occasions or just when you want to treat yourself or others to a great meal.

Excellent experience - the food was delicious and the service was timely and helpful

Not just great food and service, but also such a special experience.

superb food, great service, very nice meal all together.

I really enjoyed my meal! My friend and I had a good time.

This was, with out a doubt, one of our nicest dining experiences in Cleveland. The service was spot-on. And better. The bar was a great place to have a drink before being seated, welcoming.
I'll mention the wine list for it's excellence: a most eclectic selection at very good prices Over-all let me say that you won't find a more interesting or better list --given the menu and the wine's prices -- in Cleveland. Period. Menu: very French, and no secret. And very well done, as you might expect. The comments of our group -- all very good to excellent. And can you believe it, the meals actually served hot on hot plates. This group was not a naive group, in fact it was a very sophisticated group that expected excellence in service, food, and ambience . Don't miss Edwins. Do yourselves a favor and a great treat.

The food and service were excellent but the restaurant was very crowded and table side service really doesn't have enough room. Would go again but would consider a week night rather than weekend.

Strongly recommend, especially for restaurant week

We have been wanting to try this restaurant and decided to go during restaurant week. Nice selections and would definitely go again. Food was excellent as was the wine parings with each course

Always a great meal in a warm atmosphere. We recommend at every opportunity.

I had a delicious dinner this week at Edwins. We took advantage of Cleveland Restaurant Week. We started with the escargots and the soup of the day, both well prepared. I tried the potato crusted grouper and it was outstanding. I almost licked my plate! My dinner companion chose the guinea hen breast which was equally good. Our dessert choices were creme brûlée and pot de creme and both were excellent.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Cleveland. The food is always fantastic and I appreciate that there are multiple vegan options. The wine is also always good and the service can't be beat. It's a very special place.

One of the best restaurants in the Cleveland area...and this is a great food city.

Went to Edwin’s because of the story. Will go back because of the exceptional fine dining experience.

The staff was fabulous! Food was phenomenal! What a wonderful experience! Thank you!

Reliably excellent -- service, food, setting. Never had a bad meal, or a bad experience.

Dinner was amazing! We felt like we were out of town. We loved the ambiance and music that was played. Service was excellent. Will be going back for sure!

We always go back.

Excellent food, excellent service...very enjoyable dining experience.

Great food and great service. Might need to decrease number of tables as servers and food deliverers had frequent trouble navigating amongst themselves. Not a lot of room for them to move about b

We had a wonderful dinner and had some of the best service that I have ever had!
