    Had to wait 25 minutes to be seated even with a reservation. Waitress was slow and uncaring. Food was poor! We had grilled cheese and tomato soup last year and it was GREAT so we had it again yesterday. It was horrible. Cheese not fully melted and both soup and sandwich not hot. Also at the table ribs were ordered. TERRIBLE!! Ribs were fried and had too much gooy sauce. Could not find the meat just crust and terrible sauce. In addition they were not hot. French fries were stale tasting and cold. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone

    Had a wonderful experience at the Edison! Grilled cheese, tomato soup, American burger- all excellent. Server was attentive and efficient. Live music was fun but very loud- depends on where you are seated. Would definitely come again!

    The ambiance was excellent. The music and live entertainment was great. The chairs were uncomfortable but yet went with the theme. The food was lacking. Three of us ordered the salmon. Small piece of salmon with a few pieces of cauliflower surrounding it. That was it. We all left hungry. Server was great! The place is really cool. The honey margarita was delicious! They just need to work on their food portion size. Would be lovely if they offered biscuits and honey to start. Filler would have helped.

    Happy hour drinks and snacks were delicious and a very good deal. We should have stopped there. The Edison burger was tasty but the bun was dry and crumbly. The waffles were yummy but the chicken was over fried and dry. Would come back just for cocktail hour.
