    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.

    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.

    I was unaware of the mission for this restaurant when I made the reservation and showed up. Saying that the gentleman and woman who greeted me at the host stand were very cold in fact didn’t acknowledge me when I said I was here for my reservation. They didn’t speak a word the lady simply picked up the menu and lead me to my table. The wait staff was very courteous and attentive but didn’t seem to know the menu. The food was really not good. I had the calamari app and trout for my entree and either had any flavor. The menu on OpenTable when I made the reservation was completely different than the menu at the restaurant. I was expecting an upscale French restaurant and that’s not what is served. I do commend and support the mission of the restaurant and think it’s a worthy cause however, to be successful you might want to consider altering your menu too items that you can produce that people will enjoy and want to come back to support you

    Our party of four were seated promptly in the dining room. The booth we were in was very comfortable and offered privacy. There was a very skilled piano player in the room. Our only problem was the volume. It was difficult to have a conversation. The goat cheese salad was excellent as well as the bread service. We ordered the duck, sea bass and two of the salmon dish. We all really enjoyed our meals. The food was delicious. The waitstaff was very good keeping up with filling our water glasses and offering bread. There was one small glitch, the pacing of the meal was a little uneven. There was a gap of 30 minutes between the removal of our salad plates and the delivery of our entrees. We had an enjoyable time and will come back again.

    The food in the brasserie was good, better than ok, so I gave it 4 stars. Little things could have been better....the bread was OK, the calamari was good, reuben sandwich was good/ok. Happy Birthday was written onto a plate in chocolate...couldn't it have been put on a cookie instead of just a naked plate? the attention from the servers was great and they all tried very hard with a smile on their faces.

    One of the best buffet brunches in the city. My prime rib was perfect. It's so lovely to dine with nice jazz in the background. Just lovely.
