The Edison offers a lively steampunk atmosphere with "fantastic service" and "great entertainment." Guests enjoy the "amazing food," including the grilled cheese and tomato soup. Live music provides a vibrant backdrop, although it can be loud. It's a "must-visit" for a fun dining experience in Disney Springs.

    I've been there year and had a wonderful time. So I made sure this visit to Orlando to make a reservation. Food is great, ambience is wonderful and the performers are very good. I would highly recommend to have an enjoyable evening.

    Our waiter took forever to make his first appearance which was weird considering the plane was half empty. This place is known for their cocktails so when I questioned him on a few to get an idea of what I wanted, he had zero knowledge and couldn’t help at all. I ended up ordering a drink that I did not enjoy at all. First let down. We ordered burgers that sounded amazing. I asked to switch the fries for vegetables and was NEVER told about an up charge. Found out on the bill. 2 out of 3 were grossly undercooked, but again, waiter was nowhere to be found. Time for the check. I gave him our annual pass, which the website says is a 15% discount, it came back at 10%. My youngest was exhausted so I wasn’t going to argue. We will absolutely never return again.

    The staff was quick and efficient. The singers were so much fun. We were sad there were not dancers this time. I made a request to have a good view of the stage and they made it happen. My work dinner was a huge success.

    The Edison was a great choice! We originally had a reservation for 5:45 on a Thursday, but it wasn’t so busy they were able to seat us early. The food service was quick and all food was yummy and cooked to our liking. We didn’t get to hear any live music during our time here, but the ambiance was sufficient! An additional note is that the lighting inside, at least where we were sat, is quite dim.
