    The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. Trout, Salmon, Shrimp with Linguine and Mushroom Ravioli were perfectly prepared and delicious. The music was definitely energetic and bit loud for those with hearing aids. The service was impeccable. We will be back.

    The new location is incredible. So many different spaces with different vibes. From a romantic corner in the brasserie, to the main dining area, other cigar bar and the patios (yes plural). Of course the food is wonderful as you would expect. And Brandon is the consummate host. The staff works hard to deliver a great experience without being ‘stuffy’.

    glacially slow service, food cold after being left unattended in kitchen, steak tough and overpriced. Decor of artificial flowers everywhere looked as if decorated by Golden Corral. Staff person who asked how everything was going rude and condescending when we mentioned the slow service.

    My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our FINE DINING experience and the music at Edwins last evening. She does not eat red meat or pork, so we opted for Paupiette de Bar: Potato wrapped sea bass with haricot vert and sauce beurre rouge. We both loved it. She especially loved the sauce. This dish was seasoned perfectly. Our cocktails were enjoyable and I enjoyed a shot of Limoncello on the rocks. Our desert was a delicieux cake and ice cream treat on the house. Our waitress was very nice and quite busy, as it appeared to be a full house throughout the entire restaurant (yes, we had a quick tour to see the cigar bar.) We plan to return to enjoy the Patio dining very soon.

    We sat out on the patio for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. It was lively and the food was delicious. The mussels were big and beautiful.

    We came to Edwin’s for my birthday dinner and had a blast. Our server, Ronn, was extremely attentive and provided excellent service. The Steak Frites and Duck Confit were incredible. This is a great spot for special occasions or a date spot. If the weather is nice without question reserve a spot on the patio.

    Our server was excellent, providing attentive service. She checked in with us after drinks were served, after the appetizers were served and after the main course were served. She remembered our special requests and even balanced our wobbly table. It was way too noisy. It was simply impossible to have any kind of conversation.

    We will return for many reasons, including the wonderful "mission" of the restaurant staffing. And we hope that our hesitation to praise the food is the result of a one-time episode. However, we were a bit disappointed. Two of the three main courses served, and one soup, were overly salted. However, it the past, in it's previous locations, we have had outstanding cuisine, so this may have just been an "off" night.

    I was a frequent diner at Nightgown and loved everything about it except the food which was pedestrian. I was disappointed in its second iteration. But I am thrilled that the ambiance of Nightgown lives on in Edwin's but with MUCH better food. It's tastefully and beautifully decorated. Plan on going back again and again!
