Had a wonderful meal, first time back since the renovations. Design is much improved over the stuffy Edison’s. The menu changes were good too, tired a number of starters/sharables and all of them were good, the pork belly was especially nice. The short ribs were almost melt in the mouth and the strip steak was tender and flavorful. Our server was gracious and accommodating and made the meal better from start to finish.
Clara's TableResponded on June 18, 2025
Thank you so much for joining us and for your wonderful feedback, Michael! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your first visit back since the renovation — we agree, the new design brings a fresh energy to the space. It’s fantastic to know the updated menu hit the mark for you, especially the pork belly, short ribs, and strip steak! We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to your server as well. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another delicious experience soon! Thank you, Troy Shoemaker, Senior Marketing Manager

We had a wonderful dinner at Clara’s. We were greeted by the Host/Manager, Alfred who was absolutely amazing. During the appetizer i started to cough from the chili powder and Alfred immediately checked to see if I was OK. He also offered me some milk. I told him I’ll be ok. My coughing continued and a few minutes later he brought some honey which worked out phenomenally and calmed my cough. Our server Michael was also very attentive and provided us outstanding service. He was extremely friendly and we engaged conversation with him as he stated he was new to the area. We were very pleased with both men and enjoyed our meal & experience. Both went above & beyond and provided a fantastic experience for us.

And we’re so glad to hear Michael made a great impression as well; we’re lucky to have him on our team and know he’ll feel encouraged by your praise. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another memorable evening! Warm regards, Troy Shoemaker, Senior Marketing Manager

We went for brunch. It was wonderful. Servers were fantastic. Good recommendations when asked and so attentive, as good as the food and experience was, the best was wandering around.

Food was excellent, waitstaff was very kind and accommodating to make our anniversary dinner enjoyable and special. There were some gaps between service that made our time there a bit longer than was necessary., but overall a very pleasant experience.

We used to dine at Edison’s frequently before the Inn was closed for renovations. The food was always expertly prepared and served hot. The current menu is quite limited, and was disappointing. We appreciate that the Inn has not been open long. On Saturday, our dinners tasted very good, however, our food was not served hot. Appetizer plates and silverware were removed prior to dinner, but we had to ask for more silverware when our dinners were served. We thought the menu was very overpriced for the size of the entrees. Also, the dessert was mediocre and definitely overpriced. We also missed the very experienced staff who were at Edison’s prior to the renovations. We will return sometime and hopefully Clara’s Table will reflect Dearborn Inn’s high standards.
Clara's TableResponded on June 9, 2025
Thank you for sharing your recent dining experience with us and for being such a loyal guest of Edison’s over the years. We’re truly grateful for your continued support and for giving us a try during this new chapter of Dearborn Inn’s story. While we're glad to hear your meals were flavorful, we sincerely apologize that the temperature of the food, the pacing of service, and other details did not meet the standards you’ve come to expect from us. Your comments about the menu variety, value, and dessert offerings are being shared with our culinary and service teams as we continue refining our experience post-renovation. We truly hope you’ll return again soon and give us another opportunity to deliver the elevated experience you deserve. Warm regards, Troy Shoemaker, Marketing Manager
