Our kitchen's formula is product+technique+creativity2. The results are new interpretations of everyday food, expertly engineered into modern cuisine.

edison: food+drink lab fills the gap in the dining scene for the neighborhood joint that serves polished, modern world-class food with an everyday familiarity and comfort. A daily, inventive menu that traverses the chasm between haute cuisine and comfort food, each dish will be a bit familiar, but at once modern.

We currently offer reservations in both the main dining room as well as open air dining in our courtyard. The full dinner menus are also available at our bar, which we keep available to walk-in guests.

We look forward to seeing you!

We offer a 15 minute grace period for reservations. If your reservation plans change, please let us know.

    Fabulous!! My husband and I were stuck in traffic and were late to our reservation. The staff from the wait staff to the manager could not be kinder. Our food came out quickly and we made it to our show at the Straz theater on time. Wonderful experience can’t wait to go back.

    Wow, it had been a while since my last visit to Edison, and it was as good or better than I remembered. The menu can be a little intimidating, but everything we ordered was outstanding. Our server, Stephanie, was brilliant. She helped us navigate our drink, wine, appetizer, main and dessert choices. Everything she suggested was perfect. Amazing food, great venue, and 5 star service!

    Tale of mixed experience. Good cocktail and okay wine value. Wife's chicken dish a bit too spicy for her but okay...until she got to the leg/thigh which were both very under cooked/raw. They did take away and comp the dish and dessert which was nice recovery.

    Superb. The service was perfect. I had the red fish. My favorite dish there. It's so layered and delicious. She had the hen of mushroom and it was delectable. The rum drink was superb.

    My service was slow and absentee at times. The meal, was okay; but I expect the tasting menu to be on par with the rest of the menu and it was not. I’ve eaten here several times in the past and was always highly satisfied but this trip was a let down. Coarse 2 was under salted and coarse 4 was over.

    The location is good, cool atmosphere and nice ambience. The food was not really worth the price. Some of the dishes had an interesting mix of flavors that I enjoyed but something was not quite right with all the dishes. The octopus was a decent portion, loved the vinaigrette/corn/olives, but the octopus was over cooked. The lamb ribs were well-seasoned with lots of complex flavors, but the portion was ludicrously small - 3 tiny ribs - mostly fat. The Iberico Pork was the best dish and an acceptable portion, but missing the flavor present in the other dishes. Drinks were unremarkable. We had an event so didn’t stay for dessert, but assuming it would be mediocre in light of the rest of the experience. Skip this one.

    Everything started out great but our server forgot about us when they got a 13 top and a 9 top. So we had a long long wait after our 4th course. He was apologetic so it was fine but had the service remained the same it would’ve been 5 stars

    I’ve dined here several times over the past few years. The food is creative, eclectic, adventurous and always delicious. The cocktails are interesting and amazing. Service is excellent. Edison is a must visit and since the menu changes frequently, multiple visits required.

Can't wait to go back and bring friends as well. Can't wait to also try many different other menus that I'm told that they have throughout the year. A place a highly recommend

    We have dined here a few times and recently as a family. We all decided to enjoy the tasting menu and it didn't disappoint! The staff are all knowledgeable and friendly and thoroughly explained each course. They change the tasting menu monthly, so it never gets boring. And, they have a great "watercooler" happy hour M-F, allowing the opportunity to enjoy some small tastings of some of their offerings! Definitely recommend checking it out!

    Very disappointing. The service and drinks were great but we ordered the scallops with parsnips, and the parsnips are rock solid-not cooked enough. They tried to replace it with broccolini, but that was very peppery. Octopus tasted too charred. Expected better.
