    Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I had some out-of-town guests that I wanted to introduce to Edwin‘s. While things started out fine, after 45 minutes of waiting for our food I finally went over to the waiter and said “do you have any idea when our food is going to come out to wish you replied I’ll check”. He came back to the table and said the kitchen “apologizes and will be making your food now”. Clearly, they had either lost the ticket or it was never entered into the system. No manager came to the table to discuss the issue or offer any explanation. It was a disappointing experience for people who are looking forward to trying the restaurant.

    We had a reservation and were promptly seated by a friendly host. Our server Chris was very polite and also very friendly. He was very attentive to our beverages and our order and checked back frequently with us. The food was tasty and our apps came promptly after ordering and large in portion size. We were there on a Monday so we’re seated in the brasserie section but we took a tour (self-guided but then facilitated by the host which was a lovely, unexpected gesture.) Their new location is beautiful and based on the food, service, and overall experience, we will definitely be back!

    Roast beef, ham, chicken cordon bleu, and many vegetables, salads and desserts were perfect for a late-Sunday-morning buffet. Lovely surroundings, though I miss the nice jazz that was played last week. I love popular music, but the character and mood of Edwins deserves better than some 80's pop song.

    The place is OK. It looked very much like the Night Town. It was quite noisy. The food was very much like I've had in other restaurants.

    Did not have a good experience at Edwin’s. Service and food were mediocre and I had gastrointestinal issues the next morning.

    The only thing that detracted from the good experience was the sounds of the three ?TVs.

    We had the duck confit and the roasted salmon, both were superb. The chocolate pyramid and toffee pudding were also both two of the best dessert I’ve had in a while. The Roots drink was also delicious. All the staff from the valets to the servers were so nice and accommodating, top notch service. It was my first time finally visit Edwin’s and I will definitely be back.

    I will always patronize this restaurant due to its mission and upstanding leadership. We felt welcomed, respected, and well-taken-care-of as we enjoyed a delicious meal in The Brassiere. Thank You, Brandon, for your hard work and dedication.
