    Edwin’s when we arrived we were seated right away however I was by the window of the wine cellar and it was very chilly. The service was from our waiter Ivan was exceptional he was attentive and professional as was all of the staff we encountered, however my food was not what I expected it to be . I ordered the salted Duck with risotto the Duck was present on top the risotto the skin was not crispy at all the risotto was not quite done and not hot so I ask if I could get the duck done crispy as anyone who eats duck knows you can’t eat the skin if it’s not crispy!!! And for $37 I was not going to leave it on the side of my plate anyway they took it back and recooked the same piece brought it back and said it that done enough? Well I took a bite and was so disappointed it was to salty!!! And chewy and over cooked as one would expect if it’s cooked twice . They took it off the bill but I can’t say I would return to try anything else . My Husband enjoyed his Seafood sausage and escargot. I had the Apple pie dessert it was just ok the crust did not taste fresh it was just ok .I will say yes to recommend because someone else may have a different experience.

    Consistently one of my favorite restaurant experiences. Food excellent and they are attentive in all the right measure. A couple weeks prior, a friend left an Apple stylus during a lunch meeting. He didn't recall immediately. When he called, he discovered that the one manager put it in safe keeping. When he was able to return because I had booked this reservation, he called ahead to tell them he would be there if they still happened to have it. They did and it was returned. Not many restaurants would take the time for something this small and he appreciated them going that extra mile.

    As much as we love the mission of this restaurant, it was pretty disappointing. The appetizer and salad was fine. But the entrees were really bad. My mom got a burger that was mealy and undercooked. She ended up not eating most of it as it was hard to find parts that looked safe to eat. I had the salmon which was cooked alright but the horseradish crust was strangely thick and soft? Kinda like stuffing. We also noticed that we had to wait a super long time for dessert. Over 30 minutes. For the price and the reputation of the restaurant we really expected better.

    Excellent food with great variety. Solid French restaurant and we sampled drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts. It was our anniversary and our server, Perry, even serenaded us with a song. A pleasant surprise and a great voice to boot. Thanks again Perry! Overall 10 out of 10. We’re planning to invite some friends out to dinner there in a couple of weeks.

    First time visit to Edwin’s and definitely will come back for dinner. Service was courteous and prompt while not being overbearing, nice selection of appetizers and mains that were extremely well prepared. Probably the best cheese cart selections I’ve seen in NE Ohio.

    Very impressed with the food and particularly the service. Had a wonderful anniversary dinner including the lobster bisque, goat cheese salad, grouper, unique burger and a glass of bubbly. Initially regretted not ordering the soufflé ahead of time for dessert but the strawberry rhubarb bread pudding was excellent. They have a wonderful thing going there! We will be back!

    what a great restaurant!, It was my wife and I's five year anniversary and we have never been there before. Service was great, parking can be a bit sparse, but they have free valet which made it nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant for celebrating special occasion or a night out. We both got salads, entrées, and each get a dessert, and two cocktails each and our bill was about $200. Pretty fair for everything that you got and for the occasion.

    I travel around the world for work. I have been privileged to experience some of the finest restaurants in many countries, but I am moved by the mission of Edwin’s. As a native Ohioan (but living elsewhere) it is so wonderful to come home to such a special place. Great food, great mission, great people. I am grateful to have found this gem.

    Three of us dined outside and each one of us had an outstanding entree. We had the tournedos, the braised lamb and salmon with cucumbers and cream sauce. Everything was done to perfection and the sauces were luscious and flavorful, and exquisitely balanced. We had Edwin's own Cabernet with the meal and it was a great big round wine, really tasty. And for dessert, we had the sorbet duos--homemade strawberry with a lemony bite to it and a wonderful dense blueberry that almost seemed to have some pear in it. The service was attentive and very friendly, and even though Brandon had two rather sizable parties going on inside, he stopped by our table twice to see how we liked our meal. Such a wonderful restaurant for Cleveland.

    Delightful experience. Our food was very good. We sat on the covered patio, which was absolutely lovely, however, the noise level from the street was sometimes loud and distracting from the fine dining experience. Our server Johnny, was terrific. We very much enjoyed talking with Brandon, the owner!

    Really interesting place to dine. Keep in mind all the employees are in training so if you have preferences please express them ... like meat prep (rare/well) etc... but the fact all these employees are motivated to do well in a chosen profession is very cool on top of the interesting food choices and ambience.

    Our meals were good but not great - lacking flavor. I had the salmon over cucumbers with horseradish, but was disappointed in the lack of flavor. My husband felt the same about his grouper. Our drinks & salad were excellent. The service, as always, was wonderful. When my salmon was overcooked, they took it back & gave me another one which was cooked as I requested.
